ASAKE DECLARES SUPREMACY IN NEW SINGLE “MILITARY”

Nigerian street-hop sensation Asake is back with another audacious anthem, Military, a track that doubles as both a personal victory lap and a warning shot to his critics. Known for his distinct blend of fuji, Afrobeat, and amapiano influences, the YBNL signee once again proves why he remains at the pinnacle of the game.

From the very first beat, Military carries an air of dominance. Asake isn’t just making music–he’s making statements. He opens with a shoutout to Olamide, his mentor and the architect of his meteoric rise, before diving into bold self-affirmations.

Among the song’s standout lines is his declaration; “Oyinbo koro lenu mi” which roughly translates to “English is not sweet in my mouth”, a reaffirmation of his deep connection to his indigenous roots. Asake’s unwavering commitment to his Yoruba-infused sound has been a key ingredient in his success, setting him apart in an industry that often leans toward Western influences. Lyrically, Military is a mix of self-praise and subtle jabs. Asake doesn’t mince words when he claims to be the richest among his peers, a testament to the financial success he has amassed in a short span. The message is clear: while others talk, he counts his wins.

But this track isn’t just about celebrating victories–it’s also a clapback to naysayers. Asake warns that reckless talk comes with consequences, a possible reference to industry drama or the constant scrutiny that comes with fame. Yet, instead of engaging in distractions, he asserts his focus on making money while others keep chasing him. The title Military isn’t just symbolic–it reflects Asake’s strategic approach to his career. His rise has been nothing short of a well-executed campaign, marching through obstacles and expanding his reach globally. With the phrase, “achievement all over the world”, he highlights his international success, a feat that includes sold-out shows, high-charting singles, and growing global influence.

Military isn’t just a song; it’s a power move. With its bold lyrics, infectious rhythm, and Asake’s signature streetwise delivery, the track cements his reputation as a fearless hitmaker. In an industry where staying relevant is a battle, Asake isn’t just surviving–he’s leading the charge. Truly, he’s in his military regime and we can certainly already see the amazing things he has in store for us in this new era.
