2faceidibia is sick

In the literary meaning of sick, 2Face Idibia is not actually laying on any bed as baba is very hale and hearty, but it actually took me a very long time to finally decide a title to tag this epistle.



After listening to 2Face’s new album Away and Beyond for several days repeatedly, i came to a conclusion that 2Face Idibia is very SICK, reasons of which are obvious.

This crowned King of African music is second to none. The ‘African Queen’ crooner who has immensely paid his dues in the music factory.



Starting out as a member of the defunct Plantashun boiz with Faze and the man with a Blackface, went on a solo career in search of greener pastures. Back in the Plantashun days, 2Face Idibia was very spectacular. Although other acts in the group were excellent, but 2Face was exceptional. His voice and lyrics always stood out.



It could be argued that the African Queen song that sold him out wasn’t written by him, but if the writer could have done any better, who wouldn’t have handed it over to 2 BABA.



2Face Idibia the god has stood exceedingly out all over Africa and the rest of the World. He’s at the peak of his career and only waxing stronger. He’s the Messi of music. His thought beats imaginations. He’s not of the bootyn fast cars good life lyrics school of thought, yet baba is still very successful commercially which is a lesson for all up and coming acts.



I wouldn’t say that there cannot be another 2Face, i would rather ask if the sun has been doubled. 2Face is a directory to greatness. He is indeed an icon.



Although with his fair share of scandals, having had 6 children out of wedlock (still counting), i must emphasise that success comes with its own challenges. I wouldn’t sit back here to write in support of 2Face’s act, and at the same time i would be bias not to condemn it because i know attachments to stardom. Come to think of it, which African woman doesn’t want to bear a child for 2 baba?



Back to the music scene, take a good look at the Nigeria music factory scene, when you think of a D’banj, there’s a Durella, when you think of Olamide, there’s a Reminisce, a Wizkid brings Davido to mind. Rugged man, Mode nine, Terry tha rapman and others, 9ice brings into play Isolate, Banky W and Dare Art Alade could be said similar. Several upcoming acts now copy Terry G’s style, and Wande Coal is synonymous to Iyanya, Chuddy K and YQ.

But on the thought of 2Face, you won’t argue that only 2face comes to mind. He’s different intelectually and lyrically.



Obviously, most producer get a different inspiration wheen 2baba is the client. Producers such as Ojb Jazreel and J Sleek have never regretted working with him. This man is indeed second to none.



What beats imagination more is how he puts normal everyday situation into music undilutedly. On listening to 2face’s lyrics deeply, it would be said that this man is Away and Beyond.



2 baba has fondly called by friends and fans is one whose humility cannot be compared. Sometimes he forgets he’s a celebrity and a star. He loves kids (no arguments), very playful, jovial and friendly, i wonder why anyone would want this kind of man dead?



Finally, i would say that though there’s nothing new under the heavens, but it will definitely take a while to find another music maestro like 2Face. I will be glad to tell generations that i lived in the days of 2Face Idibia. On that note, i will say to you that 2Face Idibia is sick!!!
