Wave is the lead single from Asake's third studio album Lungu Boy, released June 21, 2024 under YBNL Nation and Empire Distribution, featuring Central Cee. Produced by Magicsticks, the song blends Afrobeats, Afro-fusion and UK drill — a genre combination that mirrors the collaboration itself. Central Cee is one of the most commercially significant UK drill artists of his generation, with chart success spanning multiple continents, and his presence on a Yoruba-language Afrobeats record signals exactly how far that genre crossover has come.

The official music video released the same day as the audio. Wave became one of Lungu Boy's signature live moments, regularly closing out shows on the tour alongside Active. Central Cee's verse and Asake's melodic Fuji-influenced delivery sit comfortably together, each artist staying in their own lane while the production from Magicsticks ties everything together.
Lungu Boy's tracklist reads like a who's who of contemporary global music — Wizkid, Travis Scott, Stormzy, Central Cee and Ludmilla all appear across the project's 15 tracks. Wave is the song that opened the door for all of it. Rating: 8.5/10.
