Global Afrobeats icon Asake has unveiled the official music video for “Oba,” a standout track from his latest acclaimed body of work, M$NEY.
Directed by Director Buise, the new visual steps away from typical high-energy street setups, offering fans an intimate, fly-on-the-wall look directly inside a late-night recording session.
Translating to “King” in Yoruba, “Oba” is a high-steeze anthem centered on royal status, relentless hustle, and remaining grounded. Across the track, Asake leans into his “Mister Money” persona, blending Yoruba cultural references with reflections on his work ethic. He balances his dominant industry position with street wisdom and gratitude, emphasizing vigilance and humility even as global acclaim continues to rise.
Produced by long-time collaborator Magicsticks, the record fuses Asake’s signature log-drum rhythms with choir-backed harmonies. The video brings this craftsmanship to life—opening with a bass player laying down a rhythmic groove in a dimly lit studio before focusing on Asake in the vocal booth, surrounded by producers, engineers, and backing vocalists. Rather than relying on large dance ensembles, the visual focuses on pure musicality and creative synergy.
