The Plantashun Boiz were once the
biggest contemporary act in Nigeria. The trio of 2Face, Faze and Blackface were
the subject of many a teenage girl’s fantasies with their list of hit songs
such as ‘Don’t U Know’, ‘You And I’ and ‘Knock Me Off’ in the late 90s and
early 00s.
Following
their breakup in the middle of the previous decade, their musical journeys took
different routes with all three members going solo. On Saturday August 1 at the
IBB Square in Makurdi, Benue State, 2Face and Faze came together for a rare
stage reunion at the Star Music Trek 2015 #MakurdiRocks concert which also
featured performances from Yemi Alade, Runtown, Kcee, MI, DJ Neptune, Tony
Blaze and Gbenga Adeyinka.
The
concert, which was a homecoming of sorts for Benue State homeboy 2Face was
packed to the rafters with thousands of expectant fans eager to set eyes on
their hometown hero. After performing several of his hits, he surprised the
crowd by inviting erstwhile bandmate Faze onstage and then the evening got
really intense.
