“Warriors” feels like 2Baba standing tall and saying, “I’m still here.” He dropped this album right when Afrobeats was blowing up worldwide, and somehow, he kept his own sound without chasing trends. You can hear it; he’s talking about sticking it out, being thankful, loving deeply, and just knowing himself.
There’s this sense that he’s been through a lot, good and bad, and he’s not shy about sharing that. The music itself is a mix; modern Afrobeats, but you also catch flashes of highlife, R&B, and reggae. He brings in big names like Burna Boy, Olamide, Tiwa Savage, and Peruzzi, which kind of links different generations together.
If anything, Warriors isn’t about proving anything to anyone. 2Baba just owns his legacy, plain and simple. The album cements him as a real force in African music; someone whose voice still matters and still shapes the scene.
