Ghanaian recording artist Essumann is back on the musical fore with a bold, ambitious sequel, “Big Bricks II,” fast-rising. The new record also brings Medikal and Lalid along for the ride, so the guest list alone carries weight.
Essumann has already carved a firm niche with soul-stirring prayers of perseverance and declarations of unlimited luxury. On “Big Bricks II,” however, he doubles down on the hustle blueprint, so the narrative keeps expanding.
The production is where this one really earns its keep, though. The beat rides a snappy mid-tempo soundscape built on warm electric guitar plucks and slick synth melodies. Crisp percussive shakers sit underneath, while a steady Afro-pop drum kick glides over a deep, fluid sub-bassline. That combination keeps the bounce head-nodding without crowding the layout.
Clean engineering holds the canvas open and vast, so every textured voice intonation and layered background harmony cuts through with clarity.
What do you make of the beat on this one? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.
