2FACE CLOSES DEAL WITH VANQUISH , READIES UNSTOPPABLE: INTERNATIONAL EDITION

It has taken a while but it is finally done. Africa’s pop royalty, 2face Idibia has finally signed a deal with UK based Vanquish to facilitate the international release of his current album, The Unstoppable. Over months of negotiation and fine-tuning of operation details between the artiste, Hypertek and Vanquish Music Group, an agreement has finally been reached and all necessary documents signed.

At the moment, 2face is re-working a few tracks and cleaning up some new materials to meet a late 2009 release target for the international edition of Unstoppable, an album that has been widely praised as his most outstanding effort so far.

Despite initial problems with promotion, marketing and distribution and a significant amount of skepticism from a section of the media the Unstoppable album has continued to prove critics wrong as it slowly reveals itself to everyone with attentive minds. In the course of the year, the album has earned 3 nods at the Hip Hop World, received 3 nominations and won two plaques at the SMVA, three nods and a performance berth at the African Music Awards (UK) holding on the 17th of October in London, 2 at the Channel O Awards and four more nominations (the highest for any artiste) at the MAMAs holding in Kenya. 2face is also billed to grace the stage on each one of these shows.
