Ghanaian rapper Essumann pulls “Second Chance” from his “Ghetto Therapy PT II” tape, and this one goes even deeper than “Pray For Me.”
Where that record was a straight-up plea, “Second Chance” sits in that harder zone – admitting you messed up while still asking for another shot. Essumann doesn’t dress it up. He’s talking about regret and what it takes to actually try to fix something after you’ve already broken it.
This kind of writing needs a specific kind of courage most rappers don’t bother with. Owning your mistakes on record – not vaguely, not with excuses baked in – is a different level of exposure than the usual street-life storytelling. Essumann keeps building his whole “Ghetto Therapy” run around exactly that kind of honesty, and “Second Chance” fits right into that pattern.
His delivery stays grounded throughout, no theatrics. That restraint actually makes it land harder – a record about wanting redemption doesn’t need to shout to make the point stick.
Sitting alongside “Pray For Me” and “Flight” on the same tape, “Second Chance” adds another layer to a project that’s clearly more about processing real life than chasing a hit. For Ghanaian hip-hop fans who want rappers saying something with actual weight behind it, “Ghetto Therapy PT II” keeps delivering.
Stream “Second Chance” and the rest of “Ghetto Therapy PT II” and tell us – does this one hit as hard as “Pray For Me”?
