In “Ototo,” Asake takes a serious, introspective look at the concept of individuality and self-reliance. It is one of the best songs on his album, “Mr. Money with the Vibe.” The title itself means different or separate. Over a classic Amapiano beat, Asake speaks on the importance of facing life’s struggles alone, emphasizing that when the chips are down, you only have yourself. Nzaza is a more philosophical track that offers street wisdom rather than just party vibes.
