Continuing his global ascension, Asake released his third album 'Lungu Boy'. The album was released on August 9, 2024, and it features several superstars including Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar Wizkid, British rappers Central Cee and Stormzy, American superstar Travis Scott, and Brazilian singer Ludmila.
Asake's third album reached NO. 2 on the Apple Music US chart hours after its release. With this feat, Asake equals the record for the highest-charting Nigerian album on the platform jointly held by Burna Boy's 'I Told Them' and Davido 'Timeless'.
'Lungu Boy' also reached NO. 1 on the Apple Music UK Chart thereby making it his third album to reach that milestone following his debut album 'Mr. Money With The Vibe' and his sophomore album 'Work of Art'.
The album comes ahead of Asake's upcoming 'Lungu Boy' tour which will include stops at the famous O2 Arena he previously headlined in 2023 and the iconic Madison Square Garden which will make him only the fourth Nigerian artist to headline the venue.
Asake's 'Lungu Boy' is his third in three years in a breathless run of hits that has made him an era-defining superstar.
Since breaking into the mainstream, Asake has been on a steady ascension. His debut album 'Mr. Money With The Vibe' won the Album of the Year prize at the 2023 Headies Awards. His second album 'Work of Art' had the hit single 'Lonely At The Top' which set the record for longest charting song on TurnTable Top 100.
