The book which was edited by his former publicist, Ayeni Adekunle, will include contributions from the artiste’s mother, his wife and closest friends, according to information.
Speaking on the new publication, Adekunle stated that “Apart from being a fantastic musician and a wonderful person, 2Face is also a personal friend and a source of inspiration; so few things give me as much joy as being able to give this gentleman some of the recognition he deserves on the occasion of his 40th birthday. These are important projects Nigeria must do for our cultural posterity. We must tell our stories and document our history.”
He also revealed that the book contains a detailed interview with 2face, his lyrics, discography, views from some of those who have shaped his life and career, as well as an insider’s journey through his life and times. It also includes a collection of some of the most important articles, reviews, features and news about him since 2004.
Also speaking about A Very Good Bad guy, 2Face described it as a really good feeling “knowing that all these years that I’ve been surviving in this industry, someone has been taking note…compiling my story so that on an occasion like this, they will release it for the world to see. I’m really feeling the love but importantly I hope those coming behind will read and learn from my story.”
The book launch is scheduled to coincide with the artiste’s 40th birthday which comes up on Friday, September 18.
