Korsah Pays Tribute to Family and South African Inspirations on Daily Bread
With the release of his latest single, ‘Daily Bread’, Ghanaian rapper Korsah has created a profound connection with his fans. The song, produced by US-based producer from the collective Fourteen37sound Leeington, is a soulful anthem about the young Korsah’s life and honors his late parents. The single, released on July 21, illustrates powerful and emotive lyrics that connected him to his fans on a spiritual level. After signing to Los Angeles-based record label 610Music that same year, Korsah felt he had a lot to prove after years of work as an independent artist.
The inspiration behind ‘Daily Bread’ comes from Korsah’s heartfelt reminiscence of the struggles his parents endured to provide for their young family. This reflection struck a poignant chord, particularly after the loss of his parents. Korsah finds himself at a moment in life where he shoulders numerous responsibilities, leading him to acknowledge and appreciate the sacrifices made by his parents and the divine guidance that has brought him to this point. Through the song, Korsah acknowledges the love and support that shaped him into the person he is today.
Interestingly, the inception of ‘Daily Bread’ stems from a profound dream that Korsah had about his parents. It left him with a deep appreciation, and he knew he had to translate those emotions into a musical tribute to glorify his parents’ memory.
Korsah recants that ‘Daily Bread’ was recorded in his home studio in 2021 after finding inspiration despite years of frustrations within the Ghanaian music scene. The record distinguishes itself through the seamless fusion of Pop and Afropop musical elements. The upbeat production and Korsah’s strong vocals combine to make a catchy song that celebrates the strength of the human spirit in the face of difficulty.
Korsah’s connection to South Africa’s music scene plays a role in ‘Daily Bread’. He draws inspiration from prominent South African rapper Nasty C, whose touching tribute to his late mother in the song ‘UOK‘ left a lasting impact on Korsah. The emotions conveyed in Nasty C’s work inspired him to channel his gratitude into ‘Daily Bread’. When asked about his favorite South African artists, Korsah mentioned Nasty C, Emtee, and Casper Nyovest. Their music influences him, and he admires their artistry and lyrical prowess, he said.
Korsah’s ‘Daily Bread’ serves as a timely reminder of hope and divine love prevailing over life’s challenges. He encourages listeners to persevere and find contentment even amidst uncertainty.
As ‘Daily Bread’ continues to resonate with a diverse audience, Korsah’s fusion of musical styles and heartfelt lyrics will leave a lasting impression. The song stands as a testament to the power of music to express emotions, pay tribute to loved ones, and inspire hope in the hearts of listeners.
