Afrobeats superstar Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, is set to release his fourth studio album, “M$NEYâ€, on May 1.
The singer announced the release date for the much-anticipated album on his Instagram account, @mrmoney, posting a striking video that shows a stone carver crafting what appears to be the album’s cover art.
The project marks a significant moment in the artist’s career as it becomes his first full-length body of work under his independent imprint.
According to him, M$NEY features 13 tracks, with a line-up that includes previously released singles such as “Why Loveâ€; “Badman Gangsterâ€, featuring Tiakola; and his latest hit “Worshipâ€, alongside DJ Snake.
The 13-track album is expected to showcase Asake’s signature fusion of Fuji-inspired vocals, Amapiano rhythms, and contemporary Afrobeats, while also exploring new sonic directions.
Asake has released three major studio albums: Mr Money With The Vibe (2022), Work of Art (2023), and Lungu Boy (2024).
His hit song “Amapiano†was nominated for the “Best African Music Performance†category at the 2024 Grammy Awards, despite being sung mainly in Yoruba.
