Since his stark rise in 2022, Lagosian street pop<\/a> savant Asake<\/a> has attracted massive crowds at historic venues like New York City\u2019s Madison Square Garden<\/a> and London\u2019s O2 Arena. Now, he\u2019s set to take on the nearly 100-year-old Kings Theatre in Brooklyn with a full-scale orchestra as a guest of the Red Bull Symphonic<\/a>. The one-night-only affair will take place on Nov. 8, with tickets for sale<\/a> beginning Sep. 24.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel blessed to be part of Red Bull Symphonic and amplify my sound in this unique way,\u201d Asake said in a statement. \u201cClassical music was influential in my childhood and love for music, and blending it with f\u00faj\u00ec, Afrobeats, and amapiano alongside a full orchestra is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I\u2019m excited for what it will do for the culture, and for my fans to rediscover my music in a new light.\u201d<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n To put a regal spin on hits like \u201cLonely at the Top<\/a>,\u201d \u201cTerminator,\u201d \u201cJoha,\u201d and more, Asake will be paired with conductor Glenn Alexander II, who has served as the music director for US tour of the popular play Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/em>. \u201cI\u2019m excited for the opportunity to work with Asake and blend two genres together in a unique way,\u201d Alexander II said in a statement. \u201cThis is something that will culturally bring people together which means more to me than anything.\u201d Asake will also collaborate with Anthony Parnther in the show\u2019s arrangement. In 2023 Parnther previously conducted Red Bull Symphonic\u2019s sold-out show with producer Metro Boomin in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n Asake\u2019s performance will mark the third Red Bull Symphonic in the states since making its US debut with Rick Ross in Atlanta in 2022. Ross performed with an orchestra of exclusively Black musicians. \u201cThis is the black caviar of hip-hop,\u201d Ross told Rolling Stone<\/em> ahead of the performance, which we broke down behind-the-scenes. \u201cThis is a great example of Black excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n Ahead of his Red Bull Symphonic, this summer, Asake announced a forthcoming fourth studio album, Money<\/em>, on his own new label<\/a>, Giran Republic. He\u2019s released three tracks this year, \u201cWhy Love,\u201d \u201cMilitary,\u201d and his latest, \u201cBadman Gangsta\u201d with French-Congolese rapper and singer Tiakola. Both artists appeared on Rolling Stone<\/em>\u2019s list of the 40 Best Afropop Songs of 2024<\/a>, with Asake feature on Sarz\u2019s \u201cHappiness\u201d alongside Gunna coming in at Number 14 and his link up with Travis Scott, \u201cActive,\u201d at Number 11. Tiakola\u2019s riotous smash \u201cPsychologique\u201d landed at Number Six. In 2023, Asake was a standout in Rolling Stone<\/em>\u2019s Future of Music <\/a>cohort.<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
