Nigerian music sensation Asake has released his highly anticipated fourth studio album, titled "M$NEY," on May 1, 2026. This album marks a significant milestone in his career, following the monumental success of his 2022 debut, "Mr Money With The Vibe," which made history on Apple Music for having the biggest opening day for an African album. With "M$NEY," Asake is capitalizing on the international acclaim he has garnered, presenting his most globally-oriented body of work to date.

According to Apple Music, the album successfully maintains the signature elements that define Asake's sound: high-octane beats, distinct fuji influences, and incredibly catchy hooks. Tracks like "Gratitude" and "Forgiveness" masterfully blend propulsive indigenous grooves and choral refrains with soulful, introspective melodies. The album also features collaborations that enhance its global appeal, such as "Asambe" with amapiano titan Kabza De Small, a track noted for its relentless, momentum-building energy.

"M$NEY" further explores cross-genre moments, showcasing Asake's versatility while ensuring his unique sonic identity remains dominant. Examples include the R&B inflections of "Oba" and the festival-ready production brought by DJ Snake on "WORSHIP." A notable collaboration is "BADMAN GANGSTA" with Tiakola, which boldly samples Amerie’s 2005 hit "1 Thing." Apple Music praises this move, stating that Asake successfully subsumes the well-known beat and makes it entirely his own, demonstrating his skill in absorbing recognizable sounds and making them part of his unique expression.

Apple Music aptly summarizes the album's essence: it represents the "same carefully managed balance of authenticity and expansion Asake has bet on for his entire career." With "M$NEY," Asake once again hits the jackpot, solidifying his position as a prominent figure in the global music scene.
