Face 2 Face is the debut solo studio album by Nigerian musician 2Face Idibia.[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 radio track "African Queen", a guitar ballad with elements of West African folk music and hip-hop, and rap and R&B lead single "Nfana Ibaga", which also became a local hit.
