The collaboration would give older fans a rush of nostalgia while a new generation of listeners an insight into the combination of talents that shaped Plantashun Boiz.
The history of Plantashun Boiz is a turbulent one filled with classic songs and interminable feuds.
The group was formed in the Institute of Management Technology in Enugu by the trio 2Baba FKA 2Face, BlackFace, and Faze. They later moved to Lagos in the late 1990s, where they steadily rose to the mainstream.
They parted ways in 2003 after 2Baba left to pursue a solo career, which would see him become one of Nigeria's greatest musicians.
Faze and BlackFace also enjoyed varying degrees of success in their solo career, with the former's albums 'Faze Alone' and 'Independent' enjoying commercial success.
They reconnected in 2008 for the album 'Plan B', which was their last release as a group. While Faze and 2Baba have maintained a relationship, BlackFace has been in a long feud with the Afrobeats icon 2Baba over his classic record 'African Queen'.
