Nigerian Afrobeats star Asake has released his new album titled “Lungu Boy.”
The project, which is his third solo album in three years, continues his prolific streak. He gained mainstream popularity in 2020.
Released through YBNL Nation/EMPIRE, “Lungu Boy” features 14 songs and includes guest appearances from renowned artists such as Wizkid, Central Cee, Stormzy, Travis Scott, and Ludmila.
The album was introduced by the singles “Active” and “Wave”.
“Lungu Boy explains my early beginnings in music and how it shaped me into the person I am becoming,” Asake said.
“The English word is ‘ghetto’. As you can tell from the choice of collaborations, Lungu Boy is my heritage and culture [spreading] to the rest of the world.”
With the new album, Asake is due on the road in North America and Europe, starting with a 10-date marathon kicking off on 16 August in Washington, DC, at the Capital One Arena, with stops in Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, Berlin, Amsterdam, and more before wrapping up on 1 October in Dublin, Ireland, at 3Arena.
On 6 October he is expected to perform at the Promiseland Festival in Gold Coast, Australia.
