In a music terrain hungry for innovation and meaning, Wale Currency’s latest single “Recompense” emerges as both a genre-bending anthem and a powerful sermon on life’s unbreakable law: what you sow, you reap.

Drawing from personal challenges, Wale Currency channels pain and revelation into this song.

“The things I went through, the things even my mother had to tolerate because of certain people there, were all things that encouraged me to record this song and expose the true behaviour of the human race,” he shared.

“Recompense is more than a melody, it’s a warning and a wake-up call. The song confronts the hypocrisy of those who commit cruel acts under the guise of innocence and piety.

“This world is full of lies and deceit, no matter the belief or religion, and our actions are always written down by the ancestors. No matter how long or how short, whatever you do will surely come back to you,” he said.

Wale Currency isn’t just delivering a message; he’s pioneering a new sound. Inspired by the global rise of Amapiano and the enduring legacy of Fuji music, he fuses the two into what he calls “Fujipiano.”

“Amapiano is a trending sound and the likes of Asake and Seyi Vibez have made use of this sound and also incorporated few elements of Fuji music. I think it is also my turn now to not only tap from the amapiano sound but turn it into a new branch of sound. Fujipiano. The combination of Amapiano with American Fuji being the foundation of the music,” he said.

Beyond the infectious rhythm, “Recompense” is layered with metaphor and wisdom.

“As far as the lyrics, it is something that will resonate deeply with wise Yoruba people, especially those who understand the metaphor I used, that of the horse and his master,” he said.

The journey to “Recompense” was one of careful creation, with recording beginning in late 2023, arrangements finalised in August 2024, and final vocals laid down in April 2025.

With “Recompense,” Wale Currency does more than entertain; he preaches a universal truth through the lens of Fujipiano, aiming to spark reflection and conversation both within the Yoruba community and beyond.

In his own words, “I see this song making a lot of impact not only in the Yoruba community but internationally as well.”
