Remy Ma Alimony EP Review: A Track-by-Track Breakdown

Remy Ma has some things to get off her chest, and Alimony: The EP gives her six tracks to do it. Released through Reminisce Records/DNA Music Group/Hitmaker Distro, the project features Tink, ROE, and KeKe Wyatt, with enough quotable bars to have us stopping, rewinding, and listening again.

Across our listen, we heard confidence, desire, disappointment, and the kind of anger that has you asking God to intervene before you handle things yourself. Remy’s wordplay holds it together, whether she’s declaring her position or questioning how a relationship got here.

Rem The Pen

The opening track declares her queenness. Remy makes it clear who she is and who she rocks with. Even her own shadow gets checked: “shot my shadow once ’coz it was too close.” That line captures the energy she brings into the project. She’s protective of her space, confident in her presence, and letting the pen speak for itself. Our favorite bar? “I’m in God-mode mindset, yea big fine shit, in real life I’m lit, you’re just doing it for content.” Letting us know there’s a clear difference between living it and performing it for an audience.

Cry In The Wraith featuring Tink

This one gives us the vibe of Jay-Z’s “Song Cry”- a listening comparison, not a claim about a sample. Remy gets personal, telling the story of meeting a man whose dick size had her ready to fuck on the first night. Then Tink comes in crooning, getting us in our feelings right alongside her. The combination gives the track both attitude and emotion, with Remy telling the story and Tink helping us sit in the feeling.

Our favorite bar is direct: “He loves his kids, his mama, and me, bitch!” A simple declaration that speaks volumes.

Who Raised YOU featuring ROE

Remy is asking the right questions: “Who raised these niggas? And who raised these bitches?” Expressing her frustration with people she once praised and behavior she can no longer overlook. We’ve all had that moment when somebody makes us reconsider the credit we gave them. This track takes that feeling and says it without trying to sound polite.

Our favorite bar: “Ion like you, but still I never snaked you bitches. The faces you make indicate I irritate you bitches. My essence and my presence intimidate you bitches.”

Why I Get Married featuring KeKe Wyatt

KeKe is SANGING on this thing.

Remy brings the frustration, and KeKe brings the vocals to match. The track gets into the difference between how a partner presents in public and how they behave behind closed doors. That switch-up is at the center of the disappointment.

“Burn this bitch down like Lisa, in the mirror talking like I’m Issa, feeling like I’m Tyler Perry, why I get married.”

The wordplay in this song gives the anger personality. Then the line about a man appearing solid in public while acting completely differently in private brings it right back to a situation listeners may recognize. It’s messy, emotional, and blunt, with KeKe making sure the hurt gets heard.

Altar

“Altar” is the ultimate prayer before a crash out. Remy calls on God to come save His daughter while describing herself as “cleaning her gun with a toothbrush and holy water.”

That image alone gives you the tension of the song: reaching for spiritual help while still entertaining retaliation. We’re reading it as lyrical imagery, and it’s the kind of wordplay we love Remy for.

The frustration continues with the idea that treating people kindly gets mistaken for weakness. This is our crash-out anthem for the rest of the year, the song for that feeling of being pushed too far and needing somewhere to put the anger. The writing carries it.

W.Y.F.L.

By now, we practically know this one bar for bar. It’s been getting that much play on our playlist over the last few weeks.

“Watch how you talk to me” sets the tone immediately. There’s no confusion about the attitude here.

Our favorite bar: “Play hater? Not at all, I don’t play those games. You got beef with Rem, bitch nigga, say my name. Is you shy?”

That last question is what makes it. She delivers the challenge, then adds a little ridicule for good measure. It’s a fitting closer for a project that opens with her declaring herself and ends with her demanding that people address her directly.

Six tracks gave us plenty to quote and plenty to react to. “Rem The Pen” brought the queen energy, “Cry In The Wraith” pulled us into our feelings, and “Why I Get Married” had KeKe singing through the relationship smoke. Meanwhile, “Altar” gave us a much-needed crash-out anthem, and “W.Y.F.L.” needs to be injected in our veins at this point.
