Nigerian singer/songwriter Asake is back in full force with his 4th studio album M$NEY, and this time, he is not just building on momentum; he is stretching his sound across borders while still keeping his roots firmly intact. Coming off the historic impact of Mr. Money With The Vibe, this album feels like a confident step into a bigger, more global arena without losing the essence that made him stand out in the first place.
From the jump, M$NEY carries that signature Asake energy. The drums hit hard, the hooks land effortlessly, and those unmistakable fújì-inspired textures weave through the project like a constant thread. Songs like Gratitude and Forgiveness lean into rich, emotional territory, blending traditional rhythms with choral elements that give them a reflective, almost spiritual feel. It is the kind of balance Asake has mastered, where depth and groove live side by side.
At the same time, the album is clearly designed to travel. Collaborations and genre shifts open things up in exciting ways. Asambe brings in Kabza De Small for a smooth yet infectious moment that taps into amapiano’s global wave, while WORSHIP sees DJ Snake inject a festival-ready energy into the mix. Then there is BADMAN GANGSTA with Tiakola, which cleverly flips a nostalgic sample into something that still feels very much like Asake’s world.
Even when he experiments, he never disappears into the production. Whether it is the R&B-leaning Oba or the high-energy crossover moments, his identity remains front and center. That is what makes M$NEY work so well. It expands outward without losing its core.
This album feels like an artist fully aware of his global position but still grounded in his original sound. It is polished, ambitious, and intentional, showing that Asake is not just riding a wave, he is shaping it.
With M$NEY, Asake sharpens his global sound while staying rooted
