Lagos-born artist Asake became the poster boy for the street-pop movement, and his blend of contemporary street culture, indigenous Fuji sounds, Yoruba lyrics, and infectious “crowd vocals” saw him top our charts with tracks like “Sungba” and “Peace Be Unto You (PBUY)”.
His debut album, Mr. Money With the Vibe, broke the record for the biggest opening day for an African album in Apple Music history, and Asake led a wave that saw artists like T.I Blaze, Lil Kesh, Zinoleesky and MohBad also claim their spots at the top of the charts as they integrated South Africa’s Amapiano sub-genre into their sound.
