2022 kicked with Veteran rapper and YBNL label boss Olamide announcing his latest signee Asake to the label. Following the announcement, Asake arrived with his debut EP ‘Ololade Asake’, a 4-track body of work in which the artist used to reshape and reinvent his sound on his way to meteoric superstardom.

The 4-song EP featured hit songs such as “Sungba” and the Olamide-assisted “Omo Ope,” a record which also emerged as one of the NATIVE’s best songs this year. Shortly after “Sungba” emerged as a hit record, the “Mr Money” crooner teamed up with Burna Boy for a remix for the record, only making the song an even more global record. Adding to his rapidly growing catalogue, Asake teamed up with ace Nigerian DJ and producer Spinall for the instant hit, “Palazzo,”  only a month ago. 

After releasing a snippet for an upcoming single a few weeks back, he has arrived with his most recent offering, “Peace Be Unto You”, an uptempo party bop set to take over the clubs this summer. The record sees Asake chanting appreciation lyrics to his maker. On the track, he chats standout lyrics: “I no dey send, I dey chop my life/Mo ta ka oshi danu, Oluwa shower me your blessings times two” which translates to “I don’t send, I’m enjoying my life/I reject any rubbish from my life, God shower your blessings on me two times.” 

Accompanied with the record is the TG Omori-directed video which sees Asake and his clan on power bikes, driving across the vibrant and colourful city of Lagos, having a good time as they sing the lyrics to the record. Asake is clearly not planning to keep his feet off the gas anytime soon, and just recently he announced his debut album, ‘Mr Money With The Vibe’, will be released sooner than expected.
