2 Kings

A collaborative album with Phyno — two of the country's biggest street-rap voices on one record, released the same year as Eyan Mayweather. Ten tracks, little rollout fanfare, and a guest list kept tight: Lil Kesh, Storm Rex, and Wizkid on the smash "Confam Ni."

The project arrived after years of traded features ("Ghost Mode," "Dope Money") and treated Yoruba and Igbo street-hop as co-equal languages rather than regional lanes. "Une" and "Confam Ni" were the singles; the album's longer argument was that Nigerian street-rap didn't need a translator to share a crown.
