Asake is one of the few Nigerian artists to sequentially relive the glory of their fame at the start of their careers.
The Yahoo Boy No Laptop (YBNL) signee had his major breakout in the early days of 2022 with the release of "Omo Ope" (featuring the YBNL music executive) and has since topped charts and airplay with every one of his releases and features.

This made him one of the most sought-after artists last year for having bellowed the sizzling embers of Afrobeats with a distinctive sonic approach that explores the rhythm of the Yoruba language with Nigerian street lingo.
Every other day, conversations around Asake and his meteoric rise in the music industry keep coming up.

January 13 is the Champion’s birthday, and Legit.ng has carefully highlighted most of the outstanding features that make Asake’s songs readily available on everyone’s lips.
1. Informal rap lyrics
Asake delivers some of his fine-tuned lyrics using the rap technique. This is glaring in two of his hits: Sungba and Palazzo, which leave you mulling over the lyrics days later.
Asake raps in Pallazzo, an addictive rap hook on which he flexes his lyrical spontaneity, "Pallazzo, jiggy, gb'oja, k'ole reason/No sleepin', omo no dullin'/Gba updatin' kia kia, omo iyami." A feel-good line that wholly engraves its rhythm on your unconsciousness
2. Fusing Amapiano with Nigerian Street Pop
The 28-year-old genre-blending artist effortlessly blends the South African pop sound into Nigerian Street Pop and Afrobeats, which promotes his creativity and keeps his fans on the edge of their seats.
Some of South Africa's popular entertainers reacted to Asake’s dominance over Amapiano with his debut album, "Mr Money with the Vibe."
"The biggest Amapiano is Asake," Bandz, a popular South African DJ, had to say about Asake’s debut album.
3. Choral vocal effect
This is one of Asake’s unique features that steadily spotlight him on a different level.
His verses and chant-like choruses draw attention to the fact that he embodies craft unconformity and shows that he carries experienced inclinations as well as radio wave treasures.
4. Recognition of the average Nigerian struggle
Asake, like every other Nigerian street pop artist, uses his recent album to recount his struggles growing up in Lagos as a middle-class kid, making music, and finding his way to the top.
This time he employs upbeat party tunes with succinct melodies consisting of violins and saxophones that present his delivery as a break from the norm.
5. Use of flexible indigenous rhymes
To entice the melody of his music, Asake employs the spice of flexible indigenous rhymes and bouncy repetition.
We see the highlight of this on his groovy pop-hit Peace Be Unto You "PBUY", as his concrete vocals sing, "Before dem use me I go use my sense, my sense/Omo ba ton pashe/Anita nita nita go down se".
Another standout moment comes during Terminator, in which he displays an impressive bouncy repetition of words.
6. Exhibits a high degree of confidence
For an artist who has been underground for a long time, and finally made it into the beams of fame, it is understandable for the kind of guts Asake has.
His lyrics are riddled with idioms from the street. In ‘Ototo’ he begins with "Iya won, Iya won… ati baba won," which translates to "their mother, and their father." In Peace Be Unto You (PBUY), he sings, "Before dem use me, I go use my sense."
The audacity and bravery required to call oneself Mr Money with the vibe/Mr Money no dey waste time must be farfetched. Because who are you as a fast-rising artist to place such daring and weighty pseudonyms on your shoulders?
Of course, only an artist with a certain degree of confidence in their sound and craft will be able to pull it off. Asake’s confidence can also be seen in his bold sense of style and fashion, an OG in the game.
