Asake Cashes In: “M$NEY” Delivers Spiritual Depth, Global Collabs & Street Heat on Fourth Studio Album

 

Just four days after its release on May 1, 2026, Asake’s highly anticipated fourth studio album M$NEY is already making waves globally. The 13-track project, released via GIRAN Republic and EMPIRE, blends introspection, spirituality, and unapologetic street energy — proving once again why the “Mr. Money” himself remains one of Afrobeats’ most dominant forces.

A New Chapter for Asake

Following the success of previous projects like Mr. Money With The Vibe, Work of Art, and Lungu Boy, M$NEY sees Asake leaning deeper into spiritual and reflective themes without losing the vibrant, dancefloor-ready grooves that made him a superstar. The album opens with a choral “Intro” and flows through a mix of solo gems and international collaborations.
