25 Mar 2022

Description

Nana Kofi Kusi-Boadum is a Ghanaian rapper, pharmacist and researcher known by the moniker KooKusi. Kusi-Boadum narrates how his multidisciplinary interests led him to pursue a wide range of seemingly unconnected interests ranging from pharmacology, addiction research, rap to photography. Although he had no specific career goals, he would eventually tie all his different interests together to pursue a conjoining life goal toward impact.He unfolds his creative journey and the utilization of his personal stories to share life lessons that speak to others and himself through his rap music. In his new EP, KooKusi introspects on how his experiences and that of the society intersect with themes like inferiority complex, which he brilliantly dissects in his song “5 foot 3”, a reference to his height, a historical source of his insecurities. He takes us on a journey on the underlying thoughts and meanings behind his tracks and how our individual “5 foot 3s” shape our views and can be a building block of societal problems.L.isten to his EP here: 5foot3 by KooKusi - DistroKid Hosted on Acast.
