STRUGGLER by Genesis Owusu
STRUGGLER is an album by Genesis Owusu, released in 2023. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 17 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Leaving The Light”, on 15 lists with a best position of #2.
Struggler, the second album from Canberra rapper and singer Genesis Owusu, came out through Ourness on 18 August 2023, following Smiling with No Teeth, the debut that had swept four ARIA Awards. The Ghanaian-Australian artist moves between rapping and singing as easily as breathing, and this one runs on nerves and adrenaline.
"Leaving the Light" is the one that caught, a taut, twitchy thing that stuck around on countdowns, with "Stay Blessed" also getting a spin. A world tour across North America, Europe and Australia carried it through the end of 2023, and on 1 December "Survivor" was added to the tracklist. Critics loved it, and at the 2023 ARIA Awards it took Album of the Year, Best Independent Release and Best Hip Hop/Rap Release.
