Originality is the third studio album by Nigerian R&B Superstar Faze released on October 6, 2008. The album gained the tag of being 'THE MOST ANTICIPATED ALBUM OF THE YEAR 2008' as well the most personal album by Faze.

Production

The production of the album is much different from his last two platinum albums as he dropped some his regular producers such as OJB JEZREEL, COHBAMS, I.D. CABASA & MR DAZ and embraced new producers for his chart bursting Originality album such as Waz Beat (he produced most of the songs in the album) and J.Sleek, while maintaining productions by Spankie (the producer of Kolomental one Nigeria's greatest hit ever) and Jah Mix (who produced the Remix to the hit Kpo Kpo Di Kpo).

The beats signal a clear change in producers as it features more Africanized beats than ever in any Faze album, thereby indicating true Originality as the album title denotes.

The mixing and mastering of the album were done by Foster Zeeno, Jah Mix, Indomix, Klem, Richie (from Ghana).
