Ligali is a solo track from Asake's third studio album Lungu Boy, released August 9, 2024 under YBNL Nation and EMPIRE. Produced by Sarz — one of Nigeria's most celebrated producers whose credits span over a decade of the country's biggest records — Ligali sits in the album's more introspective lane. In Yoruba, ligali means to bond, to connect, or to become one with something. The title suggests intimacy and unity, which the production from Sarz frames in a warm, melodic Afropop setting that complements Asake's signature Fuji-flavoured delivery.

Asake ft. Stormzy – Suru (Lungu Boy Album)Sarz's involvement on Lungu Boy was notable — he and Asake have a chemistry that goes back to earlier collaborations and that familiarity shows in how naturally the production fits the vocal performance. Asake's biggest strength is his ability to maintain his distinctly Yoruba musical identity while making records that connect globally, and Ligali is a clear example of that balance. It does not reach for an international sound — it simply is what it is, and that is enough.
Rating: 8/10.
