  • Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Asake announces third album ‘Lungu Boy’

    Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Asake unleashed the official track listing for his exciting third forthcoming album ‘Lungu Boy’, yesterday. If you do not speak Yoruba or Hausa (languages from Nigeria), you’re asking yourself, “What is a Lungu boy?” According to my research, it is “a Christian thief who steals under the guise of humility” or “A falsely humble person who wins public support by frequenting worshipping places.” And to top it off, the description ended off with a classic, “The lungu of African politicians is the major contributing factor to abject poverty.”

    The following artists are on the album: Wizkid, Travis Scott, Stormzy, Central Cee, and LUDMILLA. The fifteen-track album comes out this Friday, August 9, 2024. Check out the official artwork below and view the track listing yourselves.
