One of the hit songs by Plantashun Boiz, the legendary Afrobeat group consisting of Blackface, Faze, and 2Face Idibia (now known as 2Baba), was “Knock Mi Off.” The late 1990s and early 2000s Nigerian music scene was greatly influenced by these three musicians. Plantashun Boiz successfully captivated audiences with their distinctive sound, fusing Afrobeat with elements of R&B and reggae, long before the social media era. They overcame the obstacles of the day to become well-known in Nigeria and beyond, greatly advancing the country’s music sector.
They cemented their status as some of the greatest musicians in African history by setting the path for a new generation of musicians.
