“Face 2 Face” isn’t just 2Baba’s debut; it’s the album that put him on the map as a force in Nigerian music. He didn’t stick to one sound either. You hear R&B, reggae, afro-pop, and these rich, soulful melodies that hit hard because they’re honest.
There’s no glossing over anything; you really feel the tension of a young artist fighting for his place, chasing dreams, dealing with love, and just trying to get by. “African Queen” is the one everyone knows. It’s huge; no question. But the album’s so much more than that single.
Tracks like “Nfana Ibaga” and “Ole” show this gritty side of 2Baba, the drive he has, the way he refuses to let tough times define him. He’s got a knack for telling stories that hit close to home: betrayal, money problems, all the stuff people deal with every day in Nigeria.
