English, and the rapper widely known as Alaga Ibile, is naming his album that as his first daughter is the reason people started regarding him as a father.

The rapper, who is a proud father of two daughters with his baby mama, is widely known by friends, associates and in his hood as Baba Hafusa. His first daughter, Hafusa Safaru is a 4 year-old
while his second daughter, Fatimah Safaru is less than a year old. Reminisce, currently out of the country till sometime in November, left the shores Nigeria about a week ago and is currently in Baltimore, USA. Tthe first single from the album titled ‘Tesojue,’ was released in August 2014.
