The NBA 2K25 season 2 soundtrack CD was created by the Nigerian superstar Asake and British rapper Central Cee.
‘Lungu Boy’ is one of the songs on the NBA 2K25 soundtrack season 2 album, which includes songs from American musicians including Key Glock and Lil Pete. ‘Wave’ is one of the tracks on Asake’s third album.
As the album’s only Afrobeats artist, Asake marks the genre’s second consecutive appearance after Adekunle Gold’s “Party No Dey Stop” with Zinoleesky, which was featured on the NBA 2K24 soundtrack album.
Asake is the latest Nigerian pop sensation to appear on the soundtrack album for the well-known game, whose 2024 edition has sold over 9 million copies, together with Adekunle Gold and Burna Boy.
Having established himself as one of Afrobeat’s most prolific hitmakers, Asake’s inclusion underscores his reputation as a worldwide superstar. Asake’s string of chart-topping and record-breaking hit songs has contributed to her commercial success since her 2022 mainstream debut.
Asake just finished his ‘Lungu Boy’ tour, when he sold out a number of prestigious locations, including Capital One Arena, Madison Square Garden, Toyota Arena, and TD Gardens. Additionally, he was only the third Nigerian performer to play the main act at the O2 Arena.
