Since 1999 when he emerged on the scene, 2Baba Idibia (aka 2Face Idibia) has defined African hip-hop music with his unique voice and style and his popularity just keeps growing.

2Baba – ‘the daddy of Nigerian hip-hop’, who went by the stage name 2Face Idibia until July 2014, is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, record producer and entrepreneur.

One could say that the 43-year-old Afrobeats legend, whose genres include R&B, hip-hop, reggae gospel and Afropop, has created his own unique musical style.
