## Resource

“Words were always my weapon,” says Genesis Owusu, talking about the love of creative writing he discovered as a child. “Also kind of ironically, conversation wasn’t always my weapon, so I always felt like the truest and rawest and most authentic of myself came out when I was writing stories or poetry. I’ve always loved world-building. Whether that be though a storyline or a soundtrack or a visual, I’ve kind of just managed to find myself in a path where I can create those worlds that I always wanted to create.” The Ghanian Australian artist’s new album, his third full-length, Redstar Wu & the Worldwide Scourge, is easily one of my favorite albums of 2026 — a powerful and genre defying collection of banger after banger. Although his previous records were more allegorical, for this one, he says there was no mincing words, no grand metaphors, nothing to distract from getting across his message that humanity is too divided, and that we need to come together as a community for the betterment of our common good. We also delve into how his love of science fiction and creative writing helped him connect with that world-building instinct, how his older brother - also an artist - inspired him to start making music, how his songs result from epic jam sessions followed by obsessive collating of sounds, and we talked about anime and André 3000 and Uno and much more.
