Asake is stepping into his next era with full clarity and a globally positioned sound.

The Afrobeats star has officially unveiled the tracklist for his upcoming album M$NEY, confirming a lineup that blends local dominance with international reach.

Set for release on May 1, the project will feature 13 tracks, including already released singles and high-profile collaborations. ย 

The Key Features

The tracklist confirms appearances from:

  • DJ Snake โ€“ on โ€œWorshipโ€
  • Tiakola โ€“ on โ€œBadman Gangstaโ€
  • Kabza De Small โ€“ contributing to the albumโ€™s sonic direction

These names arenโ€™t random.

They represent three different markets:

  • Global electronic (DJ Snake)
  • European rap (Tiakola)
  • Amapiano dominance (Kabza De Small)

The rollout has already introduced three key records:

  • โ€œWhy Loveโ€
  • โ€œWorshipโ€ (feat. DJ Snake)
  • โ€œBadman Gangstaโ€ (feat. Tiakola) ย 

Each track hints at a broader direction:

Less strictly amapiano.
More global fusion.
Still rooted in Asakeโ€™s signature Fuji-infused delivery.

What stands out isnโ€™t just the features, itโ€™s the intent.

Asake isnโ€™t stacking names for hype.

Heโ€™s building a multi-market album:

  • Lagos โ†’ core identity
  • Paris โ†’ crossover rap audience
  • Global dance โ†’ festival reach
  • South Africa โ†’ rhythmic evolution

Itโ€™s Afrobeats but expanded.

M$NEY comes at a crucial point in Asakeโ€™s career.

After three back-to-back successful albums, the question isnโ€™t whether he can make hits, itโ€™s whether he can scale his sound globally without losing identity.

This tracklist suggests heโ€™s not choosing one over the other. Heโ€™s doing both.

13 tracks.

Multiple continents.
One clear direction.

With M$NEY, Asake isnโ€™t just dropping another album, Heโ€™s positioning himself as a global Afrobeats force operating on his own terms.
