Nigerian music legend Innocent Ujah Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has announced the release of his forthcoming studio album, Oldest Young Man, marking his return to the album scene after a six-year break.
The 16-track project is scheduled for release on November 27, 2026, and will become his first full-length studio album since Warriors, which was released in February 2020.
The announcement represents another significant milestone in the career of one of Nigeria’s most influential contemporary music figures, whose contribution to the growth and international recognition of African music spans more than two decades.
2Baba had previously offered fans a glimpse of the project in August, describing the album as a reflection of his experiences and continued relevance in the music industry.
He also gave selected guests an early preview during a listening party held on September 19 in Victoria Island, Lagos, as part of activities marking his 51st birthday.
The event attracted several entertainment personalities, musicians, industry executives, family members and close associates. Among those present were former Plantashun Boiz member Faze, Wande Coal, Tony Tetuila and Spyro.
The album announcement also follows the release of his single Mental, featuring Fave, on September 18.
Widely celebrated for songs such as African Queen, If Love Is a Crime and Only Me, 2Baba remains an important figure in the evolution of Nigerian popular music.
His journey began with Plantashun Boiz, alongside Blackface and Faze, before he established a successful solo career with the release of Face 2 Face in 2004.
Although the complete tracklist and additional featured artistes have not yet been officially unveiled, expectations surrounding Oldest Young Man are already building among fans.
As the November release date approaches, the forthcoming project presents an opportunity for the veteran singer to reconnect with longtime listeners while introducing his evolving sound to a new generation.
