So, over the last couple of weeks, we’ve given you guys a full dose of 2face Idibia’s genius. Now, it’s only right to crown it all by providing the song which features another fan favorite, M.I; a remix to “Be There”. For the records, M.I is the ONLY ARTISTE featured on any of the previously unheard tracks in the International Edition of the Unstoppable album.
Another beautiful song from 2 geniuses of our time! Have you bought the album yet? Let me know what you think…

*O.O*
For those in Nigeria, this is what the new “Unstoppable International Edition” looks like… and it costs 1,000 Naira. If you see any inferior paper-back copy, it is pirated, and you’re strongly advised not to purchase it.
2Face Idibia releases his new Album ‘The Unstoppable International Edition‘ today (May 21, 2010) in Nigeria. The album will also be available for purchase in some retail stores in certain regions around the world starting next week (so you may want to look up the album in your local retail stores wherever you are).
The retail price in Nigeria is ₦1000 and you get value for your money because it is a quality enhanced CD packaged in a unique jewel case which includes ring tones, bonus videos and wall papers.
Here is 2face’s 2nd official single which is expected hit radio today. Also expect its video which was directed by Clarence Peters to be out soon.
Conscious track that promotes humility, love and unity. Tune!!!

While notjustOk.com prides itself in the authenticity of all reported music-related news, it is understandable for people to still have doubts. However, after watching this clip, if you still do not believe Africa’s Number 1 artiste, 2face Idibia and the Queen of Hiphop/Soul, Mary J Blige have recorded a song, then your head (especially your ears and eyes) is/are stuck in the clouds!
2face Idibia is easily Nigeria’s biggest export and a true global star in every sense of the phrase! I dunno about you but I can’t wait for the song to be released worldwide!
In the words of Kanye West on “Big Brother”:
“If you admire somebody, you should go head and tell em’,.
People never get the flowers while they can still smell em.”
We kick off the week with Tuface’s official video for Implication. The audio on the video version sounds different than the audio we posted months ago or is it my ears?
2face’s album is set to be released in April of 2010.
A clearer version of the video will be posted later.
New music from 2face Idibia; this is the lead single off his upcoming album tentatively called ‘Unstoppable 2‘ set to be released in 2010.
