Album of the Week: Genesis Owusu, "Struggler"
by Jade

Charismatic, eclectic, and hyper energetic. Genesis Owusu is someone who loves to rally against expectations and garner appreciation for the underdog. His new album, Struggler, rattles cages and puffs out its chest from the shadows.
He compares his fortitude to that of a cockroach in “Leaving The Light,” he struggles to win with disadvantages at every turn in “Tied Up!” and he rushes through chaos while comparing himself to Kafka’s anti-hero in “The Roach.”
It’s a wild ride pushing up from the bottom on Struggler, our Album of the Week.
