“Money Makes the World Go Round”: Asake Breaks Down His New Album
Asake is offering a clearer look into the mindset behind his latest album M$NEY, describing it as a natural continuation of his personal journey and current state of mind.
Speaking to Flaunt Magazine, Asake explained that the project is rooted in experience rather than overthinking or forced conceptual depth. According to him, the title “M$NEY” reflects a straightforward truth about the world: the central role money plays in everyday life.
“My new album’s just a continuation of me and my journey and where my mind’s at right now,” he shared. “Money makes the world go round, so the title is really self-explanatory [chuckles]. I didn’t want to overthink it, I just wanted it to be all about the experience.”
That perspective aligns with what listeners are hearing on the project itself—music driven by feeling, lifestyle, and momentum rather than rigid structure. Across M$NEY, Asake leans into his signature blend of street energy, melody, and rhythm, while allowing space for reflection and lived experience to shape the sound.
The result is an album that feels intentional in its simplicity. Rather than trying to redefine himself, Asake focuses on capturing where he is right now—artistically, mentally, and personally.
