Asake will release Lungu Boy sometime in 2024 through Empire Distribution and YBNL Nation. The album will be the singer's first new album since 2023, Work of Art. Asake spoke about the new album in an exclusive interview with GQ magazine published on April 10, 2024:
“I’ll never limit myself on one thing. I might wake up tomorrow and tell you I want to do a reggae album. Maybe that’s where God just directs me to.For me to be able to do Mr. Money and people love it, that means it is inside me. It’s just for me to try to always bring it out, and be focused and always do it. It is inside you."
The singer continued:
"I always say any artist that makes a hit song – they can always make 40,000 hit songs. But it’s just like, if you forget yourself, then you can’t make the song again. The problem is not to forget who you are.But I feel like everybody’s going through the same thing in this place. People find it hard to be normal, to be original."
Asake ended the interview by stating he had a plan for his career five years past the new album.
"I’m just on my journey. If I tell you I know the things I’m planning or waiting for, I’m just lying. I can’t sit down and be telling you my five-year plan. But, I do have one. To be in this position, you have to have a plan."
Asake is best known for his second studio album, Mr Money with the Vibe, released on September 7, 2022. The album charted at number 1 on the Nigerian album chart.
