The Grammy-nominated Bronx rapper said Saturday she’s set to restart her career after serving six years in the slammer for shooting and wounding a childhood pal in 2007 — and she’s already put out a hip-hop remix.
“I’m ready to get back to being a positive member of society and sharing my musical talents with the world,” Remy said in a statement to the Daily News, calling her time behind bars “a growing and life-changing experience.”
“Thank you to my fans and supporters for the overwhelming love . . . Remy’s back,” she added.
The 34-year-old singer posted a photo on Instagram of herself in front of a soundboard alongside DJ Khaled, writing “I had a busy first day.”
Later, she put out a remix of DJ Khaled’s “They don’t love you no more,” spitting out lyrics about her incarceration, hotnewhiphop.com reports.
“Know you b----s mad Remy out the box. Rap chicks try to stay away from me. Maybe ‘cause I caught that case they’re afraid of me,” she rhymes, recounting her arrest for shooting Makeda Barnes-Joseph in the gut outside a Meatpacking District nightclub in a beef over $3,000 her victim allegedly took from her purse.
On Saturday morning, Remy posted a selfie commemorating her first full day of freedom.
“Woke up in my own bed, still can’t believe it !” she wrote.
Remy’s youngest sister, Remeesha Blount, told The News she couldn’t wait to hear her sister’s new hits.
“We’re ready for the mixtape ... We’re just happy she’s back and ready to see what music she does next,” Blount, 23, said.
On Friday night, Remy returned to her childhood home in the Castle Hill Houses with her husband, Brooklyn rapper Papoose, 36, after being released from Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women, Blount said.
Remy, whose real name is Reminisce Smith, was treated to a huge welcoming party.
Friends and fans blasted music from her “There’s Something About Remy: Based on a True Story” debut album, Blount recalled.
“We were playing her music and everybody in the neighborhood was cheering,” she said.
The singer had a tearful reunion with family, including her son JaySon.
“There were a lot of hugs and kisses. My mom was crying,” Blount said.
“Everybody’s happy that they got to see her last night.”
Remy’s years behind bars provided plenty of fodder for new jams.
On Saturday evening, Remy — who’s career took off after her verse in Fat Joe’s hit “Lean Back” — planned to spend more quality time with family and attend a baby shower.
