RECENTLY, the indoor sports hall of the University of Lagos was a beehive of heightened performances by Nigeria’s hip hop super stars. Expectedly, it witnessed a huge turnout of students to round off the 2face and friends campus connect tour sponsored by Amstel Malta, which played host to Nigeria’s Afro hip hop singing sensation and other talented musicians.
The Campus Connect gig train had entertained fans at Benin City, Port Harcourt, Enugu and Abuja. Among budding and notable artistes then were Ranson, Money B, Hype M.C, Efa, Young Grace, 2Sec, Rocksteady, Damy Crane, Sheyi Shay, Rough Coil, Vector, Solid Star, Phyno, Sound Sultan and the winner of Amstel Malta Show time in 2012, Same .
However, music lovers in Lagos got more than they bargained for as the music acts offered interactive music renditions that drew endless joyful moments from them. The mammoth crowd, comprising students from tertiary institutions in Lagos State, defied the downpour to enjoy music performance by 2face and friends.
Speaking on behalf of the Brand Manager, Amstel Malta, Miss Hannatu Ageni, Yusuf expressed her appreciation for the impressive turnout and the outstanding musical performances. “Amstel Malta has always championed and advanced the cause of youths by encouraging them to be the best that they can be. Tonight’s performance is also a clear demonstration of being able to connect to the University students and the good people of Lagos.”
Ageni added that “The Amstel Malta brand has a penchant for promoting good values in the youths in a bid to chart a good course for Nigeria as a nation. 2Face and his friends have been awesome and Amstel Malta, is indeed delighted to be associated with them.”
She promised that the next edition will be bigger and more exciting as the team will do a proper analysis to adjust and add on some ideas to create that moment of interaction with Nigerian hip hop stars and the students.
The crowd cheered endlessly as 2Face recreated his popular tracks with improvisations. Tracks such as ‘For instance’, ‘Bush meat’, ‘Nfana Ibaga’, ‘U no holy pass’, ‘See me so’, ‘No shaking’, ‘Enter the place’, ‘Implication’, and his hit track from his recent ‘Away and Beyond’ album tagged ‘Ihe neme’. Certainly, 2Face, backed by his friends, lived up to his billing as one of Nigeria’s top acts, he also provided the undergraduates with the opportunity to be the best they can be.
