A meeting of two distinctive Nigerian voices takes shape on “Mental,” as music veteran 2Baba joins forces with talented singer FAVE for a special collaboration.
Released on September 18, 2026, the song arrived alongside 2Baba’s 51st birthday, giving the veteran artist a fitting way to mark the occasion with new music. Produced by Dee Yasso, “Mental” also serves as an important introduction to his next studio album, Oldest Young Man.
The track brings together 2Baba’s established Afro-pop sound and FAVE’s modern vocal style, creating a meeting point between two different generations of Nigerian music. Their contrasting approaches give the record its character while keeping the focus on the collaboration.
“Mental” also marks a major return for 2Baba, coming ahead of his first full-length album in six years. With Oldest Young Man on the horizon, the song sets the stage for another chapter in the legendary singer’s career.
