Asake – M$NEY (ALBUM)

Asake’s fourth studio album “M$NEY” is still very much part of the conversation, months after it dropped and shattered a major streaming record. Released on May 1 through Giran Republic and Empire, the project has kept its momentum through consistent chatter online and continued spins across playlists.

Asake has built his career on a sound rooted in fuji influences, high-energy percussion, and hooks big enough to fill a stadium. Since his debut album made history for the biggest opening day for an African project, he has steadily expanded his sound into more global territory without losing the indigenous grooves that made him a star. “M$NEY” continues that trajectory, positioning itself as his most internationally minded body of work to date.

Across its 13 tracks, “M$NEY” leans into Asake’s signature blend of fuji, amapiano, and street pop, layered with choral refrains and soulful melodic touches. Tracks like “Gratitude” and “Forgiveness” pair driving indigenous rhythms with stirring vocal arrangements, while “Worship,” featuring DJ Snake, brings in festival-ready electronic production alongside piano and horn textures. The amapiano-tinged “Why Love” and the Tiakola assisted “Badman Gangsta,” which reworks a well known 2005 R&B sample, round out an album that moves confidently between genres while staying anchored in Asake’s core sound.

Much of what’s kept “M$NEY” trending is the sheer scale of its numbers. Within six days of release, the album pulled in over 37 million streams in Nigeria alone, breaking the previous record for the biggest opening week for an album in the country, and it closed the week north of 42 million streams. That kind of reception has kept the project firmly in music conversations well beyond its initial rollout.

MusicPorta says: Asake continues to prove he can expand his sound without losing what makes it his own. “M$NEY” carries the same propulsive energy and vocal command that built his career, now stretched across bigger, more ambitious production choices that never once feel like a departure from who he is as an artist.
