Since bursting into the mainstream in 2020 with his hit single “Lady,” Asake has maintained an unprecedented release schedule.
His debut Mr. Money With The Vibe (2022) and follow-up Work of Art (2023) redefined the Nigerian soundscape by blending Fuji-inspired vocals with infectious Amapiano rhythms.
His 2024 effort, Lungu Boy, further cemented his global status, featuring international heavyweights and breaking Spotify Nigeria records for first-day streams.
The upcoming M$NEY*album is expected to continue this sonic evolution. With 13 tracks, the project includes the already-popular single “Why Love.”
Fans are particularly eager to hear “Worship,” his collaboration with DJ Snake, which promises to lean into the global dance music scene while maintaining his signature street-hop essence.
Asake’s consistent output has not gone unnoticed by the global music industry. Following the massive success of “Lonely At The Top,” which remained a chart-topper for months, the singer earned a nomination for Best African Music Performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
With M$NEY arriving just as his previous work continues to dominate streaming charts, Asake is poised to further his reign as one of the most influential African artists of the decade.
