In
2008, precisely four years after the foreseeable and what turned out to be the
final collapse of Plantashun Boy, a group
consisting 2face Idibia, BlackFace Naija and Faze himself, Chibuzor Oji, known
by his stage name Faze released his sensational and nationally endorsed album titled
Originality. And due to the gradual
and incredible improvement reflected in his previous albums, coupled with the
expressed optimism on more progressive shift towards perfection in the next one,
probably did Faze have the premonition that the album Originality, would make him one of the Nigeria’s best-selling
artistes, and thus put his name into the cannon of musical legendries by the
time he might have tailed behind epochal relevance.
But
releasing the album with all his passion and ruggedness, which later turned out
to be ‘the most anticipated album of the year’ seemed to be the wisest decision
ever taken for his musical carrier. This unarguably is due to the fact that the
album, through its most hit and eponymous track Originality puts Faze on the trajectory of casual remembrance by
the time he has irrecoverably lost his then powerfully flamboyant, though
lingering musical spirit in the contemporary Nigerian musical spotlight.
