This is an article from NigerianEntertainment.com in which they interview rapper and hip hop artist 2face Idibia, who was born Innocent Ujah Idibia in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria.  2face states that he chose the rap name 2face, because the person people see on the outside and the person he is on the inside is two totally different people and he believes that all people have two faces.  2face had been singing for fun his entire life, but in 1997 he decided to make music his profession when he and fellow hip hop artist Blackface started a rap group called Plantasion Boyz.  2face talks about his long term goal in the interview which is to have international fame and to be remembered with the greats like Wyclef, Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, and Fela.  2face’s biggest single has been African Queen in which he describes his love for the African woman and also shows appreciation for their capacity to be loving and to care for their men and families.  2face ends the interview by saying he has his eyes set on the music scenes around the world, but he is a Nigerian artist and he will continue to represent that.
