Here are the Reasons why 2Baba is still the king of music in Nigeria

The Nigerian music industry is a truly wide and constantly expanding one. We have seen talents come and go, sounds have changed, and our music is one of the few things that keep us united as a people. Music keeps you going, and Nigerian music is a reason to be happy.

When it comes to our musicians, we can only be thankful. We have had our hearts melted with the voices of beautiful talents; we have danced our feet to weakness, to the beat of trendy songs, and through all these things, celebrities have been born.

While every musician has his or her own focus, and has attained his or her own level of success, some have just pushed it to the limits. One of such people is the veteran artiste, Tuface Idibia, who we now call 2Baba. Some of his songs have gone down in history as evergreen songs and somehow, above all odds, he still continues to grow and thrive in the very wide industry.  While we can all agree that he now has a few tough contenders for the throne of Nigeria’s music leader – one of such being Wizkid, here are some reasons 2Baba might just still own the title for now.



Consistency

Nobody can nearly argue this. 2Baba has been consistent beyond words. Since his days as part of the Plantashun Boiz, to his early days in music, this man has been consistent. Think about it – he released the evergreen and multiple award-winning track African Queen as far back as 2004.

A lot of the other artists that were popular back then, have completely faded into oblivion today. Who knows how many new acts in the industry would be able to build this same track record.

Content

Nigerian music of today has been trivialised. We hear the same kinds of songs on a daily basis and it is worsening at an alarming rate. Musicians now only sing about sex, money, alcohol, or even worse things.

 

But, not 2Baba. Even when he wants to get a little playful with his music, you would not catch him lose track of content. His content is clean, it is wonderful, and only really few artists today can boast of that.
