STRUGGLER: Clear Vinyl LP

Label: Ourness
Release Date: 8th September

The Aussie Prince, the antipodean Andre 3000, Canberra's answer to the question 'could we make a future funk Death Grips?'... quite simply one of the most versatile and consistent hip hop, funk, rnb, trap and experimental voices in music with the follow-up to 2021 ROTY contender 'Smiling With No Teeth'. 

For those who dig: well Prince, Outkast, Death Grips for starters but also Young Fathers, Yves Tumor, Injury Reserve...

Genesis Owusu returns with the highly anticipated sophomore album, STRUGGLER, out on 18 August 2023. On the back of the critically acclaimed debut album, Smiling with No Teeth, that put Genesis Owusu on the global map, a new chapter begins on May 18 with the lead single Leaving the Light. A fervent anthem about survival and perseverance, Leaving the Light, sets an urgent tone for the new album. STRUGGLER explores the chaos and absurdity of life, and our ability to endure. Where Smiling With No Teeth was all about the battle (against depression and racism), STRUGGLER is about how to get through the struggle. The album was inspired by Owusu witnessing a close friend hitting the bring and coming through the other side. The experience, alongside reading Beckett's Waiting for Godot and Kafka's Metamorphosis, found Owusu questioning life and finding beauty in the struggle. The standard LP is featured on classic black vinyl.
