KooKusi’s ‘Greetings From Abroad’ EP – The murky road to ‘japa’

March 10, 2023

How do you feel having all these talents dropping gems, yet none of these names conveniently come to mind when ambassadors are requested to name iconic fast-risers in Ghana’s industry?

Music enthusiasts predicted a stellar career for this chap after he released his #5Foot3 EP in February 2022.

What they did not expect is by how many miles KooKusi would outdo himself, and it manifested on his sophomore EP.

Greetings From Abroad EP dropped on Friday, March 10, 2023.

The cinematic bop transcribes the nitty gritties of the process and even touches on culture shocks and unanticipated hits that take shape when one embarks on the ‘japa‘ expedition.

While KooKusi delivers the blueprint to the elusive ‘greener pasture’, allow me to walk you through a timeline of the researcher-cum-rapper arrived at the thought-provoking tape.
