Falz has celebrated the release of his sophomore album at Industry Nite.
The popular rapper who in 2014 released his debut LP, “Wazup Guy”, has doubled that tally by scoring another album titled“Stories That Touch.”
Falz celebrated the release in grand fashion, as Industry Nite, the weekly concert created a conceptual ‘album release’ version, dedicated to his new body of work.
A huge turnout of guests was recorded, as stars, media men, industry players, friends, and colleagues were on hand to join in the celebration. This was the night when Falz’s new work needed support, and it received it aplenty.
The night kicked off lightly with a number of acts opening for the rapper and preparing the crowd for the headliner. They included Capital Hill Music/The Goretti Company act Mz Kiss, Baseline Music reformer Saeon Moruda. Skales and Cameroonian rap star Stanley Enow also came through with special performances.

These were all needed for the performance of his opening track, ‘Kabiyesi’. The song featured the singer Oyinkansola, who switched on her uber-indigenous element to combine live with Falz.
