Album of the Year Nomination #2 - Genesis Owusu - Struggler

Following the fabulous SZA taking out the 2022 Album of the Year, G Flip being nomination number one for 2023, it's time for Album of the Year Nomination #2.

Please welcome Genesis Owusu, with his second studio album, Struggler. Debuting at number four on the ARIA album charts this past Saturday. Struggler, released on 18 August 2023, Owusu said, "The struggler runs through an absurd world with no 'where' or 'why' at hand. Just an instinctual inner rhythm, yelling at them to survive the pestilence and lightning bolts coming from above. A roach just keeps roaching."

Struggler will be supported with a world tour, across North America, Europe and Australia between October and December 2023.

You would be familiar by now with Tied Up and Leaving the Light. Clocking in at just under 38 minutes, the tracks come thick and fast. It's all killer NO filler. I loved The Roach, The Old Man and Freak Boy. Third single Stay Blessed is also damn fine!

This record is the ultimate hype up album!

Stay tuned for more Album of the Year Nomination in coming months. For now stream the entire record below.
