Nigerian music giant, 2baba has launched his initial release of the year with “Mental,” enlisting fast-rising vocalist and songwriter, Fave for a mid-tempo, emotionally charged Afrobeats collaboration. Production assistance goes to DeeYasso.
Produced by Deeyasso, the single follows 2baba’s earlier 2026 drop ‘Celebrate.’ The release arrives from a veteran musician whose career spans over three decades, tracing back to his formative era with Plantashun Boiz before establishing himself as one of Nigeria’s most enduring solo voices. His expressive performance explores the intensity and weight of romantic devotion – a theme he has revisited with notable consistency across different stages of his musical journey.
Fave introduces her distinct vocal style to the record, providing an effective counterpoint to 2baba’s seasoned delivery. Her lighter phrasing gives the soundscape room to breathe alongside his rich, steady vocal lines. Ever since her breakthrough with “Baby Riddim” in 2021, Fave has built a strong reputation for raw, expressive songwriting, and joining forces with a figure of 2baba’s standing highlights her continued rise within the industry.
