Face 2 Face (2Face Idibia album)

Face 2 Face is the debut solo studio album by 2Baba.[1] It was released on 15 May 2004 by Kennis Music, and was a major hit, as it sold up to 2 million copies[2] initially in Idibia's home country of Nigeria, but quickly spread through western and southern Africa, and eventually making an impact in Europe as well. Its success owed much to lead radio track "African Queen", a guitar ballad with elements of West African folk music and hip-hop, and rap and R&B track "Nfana Ibaga" also became a local hit.
