“Suru (feat. Stormzy)” is featured on Asake’s third studio album Lungu Boy, released in 2024. Asake is known for blending Afrobeats with street-hop, amapiano, and indigenous Yoruba musical influences—creating a sound that is both rooted and global
“Suru” incorporates Asake’s signature fusion of Afrobeats rhythm, Yoruba inflections, and an urban street-vibe, with Stormzy lending a UK-grime/rap edge that broadens the track’s sonic palette. The title “Suru” means “patience” in Yoruba, pointing to an underlying theme of endurance and faith amid hustle.
