Throughout her career, Alhaja Batile Alake released approximately 50 records, including notable tracks like “Iwa,” “Ore,” and “Odun Titun Wole”. Her influence paved the way for future Waka artists, including Salawa Abeni, who was later crowned “Queen of Waka” by the Alaafin of Oyo in 1992.

Alake’s legacy extends beyond her recordings; she performed for dignitaries, including Queen Elizabeth II in 1956, and was honored with the title Iyalaje of Ijebu-Igbo. She passed away in 2013 at the age of 78.
