Nigerian comedian and musician Josh2funny opens his album with “International,” bringing in Nigerian hip-hop veteran Ice Prince to set the tone for the entire project.
Ice Prince, real name Panshak Henry Zamani, arrives with real pedigree behind him. So “Josh2funny International” launches with a collaborator who already won BET’s Best International Act: Africa award back in 2013 and helped shape Nigeria’s hip-hop scene through Chocolate City. That kind of opening feature signals intent, positioning track one as a statement rather than a throwaway intro.
Josh2funny has built his profile primarily through comedy, but his music catalogue has steadily grown alongside that career, with records like “I Love You,” “The Way You Are” and collaborations featuring Falz, Vector and Magnito. Placing “International” as the opener suggests he wanted a track with wide crossover appeal, something that could pull in Ice Prince’s established rap audience while still fitting his own developing musical identity.
The pairing works because both artists come from different corners of Nigerian entertainment, comedy-driven music versus established hip-hop, converging on one record built to open an album with genuine weight behind it.
