When you hear Ololade mi Asake, you already know what’s coming. It’s the hottest sound on the block, and I’m not exaggerating. Some of the songs topping the charts now are either by Asake or feature him. His debut album, Mr Money with Vibe, recorded the biggest opening day from an African album in Apple Music’s history. And as if that is not enough, nine songs from the album got into the Global Daily Top 100 chart. Now that’s something hooge!
So who is Asake?
Ahmed Ololade Asake is a graduate of Theater and Performing Arts from the prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun state. While his musical career kicked off while on campus, he first came into the spotlight in 2020 when he released a freestyle titled Mr Money.
In Asake’s own words, his breakthrough came with that one phone call from Olamide, the Baddo himself. Prior to his newfound fame, Asake had some notable musical releases.
Asake’s style of music is neither gentle nor rough. What makes his music, particularly unique is his blend of Amapiano and Afrobeats with a mix of Fuji. His success has continued to generate mixed views from people. While some feel that it’s the Amapiano trend that has aided his success, some hold that he is a talented artist with or without the Amapiano effect.
He is currently signed to Olamide’s record label, YBNL and has continued to rock the airwaves with his Amapiano mixed with Afrobeats style of music. Here are a few of his hottest songs of the moment.
