He claims to be 26? I guess that is his showbiz age LOL…He is pretty talented though….
Faze is one of Nigeria's finest vocalists of all time,but I think he will only keep playing second fiddle with these hip-hop stuff :The personality factor is weak.I advise he tries a more afro-oriented stuff like Sunny Neji did and P Square also in their current album.But I agree that he is one for the future.
