Genesis Owusu – Life Keeps Going: A Relentless Drum & Bass Inferno Fueled by Urgency and Self-Awareness

Genesis Owusu returns with the second single from his upcoming album REDSTAR WU & The Worldwide Scourge, due May 15. Following the explosive “STAMPEDE,” Owusu doubles down on intensity — pushing forward with a sound that feels urgent, kinetic, and deliberately uncontainable.

Since his 2021 landmark album Smiling With No Teeth, Owusu has built a reputation for genre-fluid innovation and razor-sharp lyricism. Blending punk, hip-hop, soul, and experimental production, his music thrives on tension — between vulnerability and bravado, chaos and clarity.

“LIFE KEEPS GOING” wastes no time. A relentless drum & bass backbone hits immediately and refuses to ease up, mirroring the song’s central thesis: life is constant, disobedient, and unstoppable.

The verses are braggadocious yet self-aware. Lines like:

“Pull the S off my chest, I’m just a man / If what you’re seeing is a God, well guess again.”

undercut any messianic reading of his persona, grounding the myth in humanity while paradoxically elevating it. Owusu sounds untouchable precisely because he refuses deification.

The hook spirals around the phrase “what is this,” looping in disoriented repetition, reinforcing the track’s sense of bewildered propulsion. Then, in the final third, the sonic palette shifts — atmospheric synths swell, the aggression sharpens, and the energy mutates into something almost spiritual.

The accompanying video, filmed in Ghana’s Black Star Square, amplifies that tension: Owusu shadowboxing in suit trousers and a white shirt, pacing and coiling before stripping down to a shirtless, defiant figure. It feels symbolic — vulnerability meeting power, composure meeting combustion.

Why it is trending

With anticipation building toward REDSTAR WU & The Worldwide Scourge, every single arrives under heightened scrutiny — and “LIFE KEEPS GOING” meets that moment head-on.

The fusion of drum & bass urgency with sharp lyrical introspection positions the track at the intersection of underground energy and mainstream momentum. As conversations around genre-fluid artistry continue to grow, Owusu remains ahead of the curve — fearless, precise, and impossible to pin down.

If Smiling With No Teeth was a cultural landmark, “LIFE KEEPS GOING” suggests the next chapter is built to move even faster — and hit even harder.
