Asake drops third album, starts world tour

Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake or Mr Money, has consistently been dropping hits since 2022, the Sungbalaja crooner recently released yet another banger album.

The album, titled ‘Lungu Boy’ and Asake’s third, has been widely anticipated amongst fans and general Afrobeats lovers who have become familiar with the artist’s eccentric voice and signature style in mainstream Nigerian music, ever since he made the announcement on June 10, 2024.

Following the massive success of his previous two albums, Mr. Money With The Vibe and Work of Art, Asake has garnered praises for his eclectic approach to music and depth to songwriting, building a cult base of aficionados and critics alike.

Truly, Mr. Money wasted no time as the 13-track studio album poses to be a massive hit already. As he has always done, the playlist touches on important facets of human life such as fame, patience, hard work and pleasure, as well as a sneak peek into his thoughts with titles like Worldwide, Active, Suru and My Heart.

Apart from Asake teaching us life lessons, offering sassy takes, and riding us on a wave of culture and art, the album features a line-up of electrifying artistes such as Starboy Wizkid – a much-anticipated collaboration for many Asake fans, British rappers Central Cee and Own It crooner Stormzy, American rapper Travis Scott, and Brazilian singer, Ludmila.

To add some spice, he included a touch of his artistic Fuji fusion- a “bonus” Fuji vibe for listeners to jive to. With the album already generating a rave, this could be another defining moment not just for the musical sensation but for Afrobeats as a whole, breaking another ground on the world stage.

Dedicated to bringing his third studio album to a city near you, the Sungbalaja crooner is currently touring the world on his Lungu Boy World Tour.
