Oldest Young Man will be 2Baba’s first studio album since Warriors, which arrived in 2020 as his eighth studio project.

The long gap has made the new release particularly significant for fans who have followed his music over the years.

Since rising to prominence, 2Baba has remained one of the influential figures in Nigerian Afropop, earning recognition for his songwriting, vocals and contributions to the country’s music industry.
