Ghanaian rapper Essumann lifts “Pray For Me” from his tape “Ghetto Therapy PT II,” and the title alone signals the emotional territory he is stepping into.
The “Ghetto Therapy” series as a concept is worth noting before the song itself. Naming a project “therapy” and locating it inside the ghetto experience frames every track as a form of processing rather than pure performance. So “Pray For Me” arrives as part of that ongoing emotional release rather than a standalone commercial single. Essumann is using this tape to work through something, and the audience gets access to that process.
“Pray For Me” specifically carries the weight of vulnerability and spiritual dependence. Essumann does not approach prayer as a casual reference. So “Pray For Me” continues that tradition – rap bars that carry weight because they come from someone actually navigating difficult circumstances rather than performing hardship for an audience.
For Ghanaian hip-hop fans who appreciate rappers willing to show vulnerability alongside technical skill, Essumann’s “Ghetto Therapy PT II” is exactly the kind of project worth exploring completely.
Listen to the song “Pray For Me” and the full “Ghetto Therapy PT II” tape and tell us – does this record hit differently than his earlier work?
