Smiling With No Teeth

Genesis Owusu

2021

Smiling With No Teeth by Australian rapper Genesis Owusu is about pretending things are okay when they’re not. By making the album sound sexy and upbeat and fun and dancey “and then when you actually delve into, it’s a facade, a fake smile and you get into the core of what I’m actually talking about.” It tackles these topics of depression, racism, and oppression.
