British-Gambian rap heavyweight J Hus and Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Asake have unleashed a genre-bending new anthem titled “Gold,” a bold, high-energy track that effortlessly blends UK rap, Afro-swing, and the percussive flair of Amapiano into one irresistible summer banger.
Produced by Grammy-winning hitmaker P2J, who previously helmed J Hus’ “Who Told You” featuring Drake, “Gold” is a celebration of hustle, status, and self-made glory.
J Hus opens the track with his trademark charisma, spitting slick bars like: “Every ring I’m wearing is gold, they’re calling me Gaddafi,” a declaration of power and perseverance rooted in swagger and street wisdom.
Asake, fresh off the launch of his Giran Republic label, slides in seamlessly with a hook laced in Yoruba rhythm and unapologetic flair: “It’s a badman party, all white, zero fugazzi.” His vocals add a spiritual bounce to the track, bridging Lagos street vibes with global swagger.

“Gold” arrives shortly after J Hus’s headline fifth anniversary concert for Big Conspiracy at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall, signalling a new chapter as he enters a fresh distribution deal with EMPIRE to unlock full creative autonomy.
With its infectious chorus, booming log drums, and cross-continental flavor, the track has quickly become a fan favourite, already buzzing across TikTok and radio stations from London to Lagos. Critics have hailed it as a perfect fusion of African and UK sounds, calling it one of the defining global collabs of 2025.
“Gold” is now streaming on all major platforms, cementing J Hus and Asake’s reputations as two of the most exciting forces in modern music and proving once again that when UK grit meets Nigerian rhythm, the result is pure gold.
