Essumann released Ghetto Therapy P.T. II on 25 September 2026, two days before his 27th birthday. It has 11 tracks, runs for 29 minutes and came out with no label behind it. The copyright line is his own name, and the distribution went through DistroKid. He had put a trailer for it on YouTube a week earlier.
We covered who he is in an earlier piece. This one is about the album itself: what is on it, who made it, and how it has done in its first week.
Where the title comes from
The first Ghetto Therapy was not an album. It was a two-track single released on 30 April 2023, back when he was still putting out one or two songs at a time. Three years later the sequel is his longest project by some distance. The only EP in his catalogue, In My Head Alone But Not Alone from 2024, has five songs.
It is a sequel that contains sequels. Two of the 11 tracks are part twos in their own right: “Big Bricks II” and “Too Many Nights II”.
Five producers
Five producers are credited across the album. Swatybeatz has the most work on it, with “Big Bricks II”, “Push To Start” and “Get Rich” to his name and a co-producer credit on “Pray For Me”. Kwaku Dee produced three: “Pray For Me”, “Too Many Nights II” and “Second Chance”. Juicy made “Too Many Riches” and “Flight”. Fortune Dane handled both versions of “On Ma Mind”, and DNA produced the “Intro”.
Track by track
The album opens with four solo songs. “Intro” is exactly two minutes long. “Pray For Me” follows at just under three, then “Too Many Riches” and “Flight”, which at 1:57 is the shortest thing here.
Track five is the one most people already know. “Big Bricks II”, with Medikal and Lalid, came out as a single on 20 February 2026 and is the reason many listeners found him in the first place. Its video has now passed 1.6 million views on YouTube. At 3:27 it is also the longest song on the album.
“Too Many Nights II” comes straight after. The original “Too Many Nights” was a 2025 song with Kojo Trap, released that April on a three-track single called From The Archives. Kojo Trap is back for the sequel, and AratheJay joins them.
Then come three more solo tracks in a row: “Push To Start”, “Second Chance” and “Get Rich”. Going by the titles, the subject is the one “Big Bricks” dealt with: money, and the climb towards it.
The album closes with “On Ma Mind” twice. The first version features Quamina MP and Kofi Mole. The second is marked as a bonus, has no guests and is half a minute shorter.
Six guests on three songs
The guest list is the strongest he has had: Medikal, Lalid, AratheJay, Kojo Trap, Quamina MP and Kofi Mole. They are concentrated on three songs, though. The other eight tracks are Essumann alone, so this is very much his album. For an artist whose biggest record is a remix with Medikal on it, that balance looks deliberate.
All 11 tracks carry an explicit tag.
How it is doing after a week
These are the numbers as of 1 October 2026.
On Spotify, his monthly listeners have risen to 111,500, from 104,200 when we profiled him the week before. Six of the ten songs in his Spotify top tracks now come from the album: “Big Bricks II”, “Too Many Riches”, “Pray For Me”, “Push To Start”, “Too Many Nights II” and “Intro”.
On YouTube, the new songs are being played more than the old hit, at least in their album audio versions. “Too Many Nights II” leads with about 15,300 plays, then “Push To Start” with 12,100 and “Pray For Me” with 10,600.
Audiomack is where his audience is largest. He has around 296,000 monthly listeners there, more than two and a half times his Spotify figure, and the album page shows 2.98 million plays.
Apple Music is the weak spot. None of the album’s songs is in the top 50 of the Apple Music Ghana songs chart as of 1 October, a chart where Kweku Smoke currently holds the first five places. That fits the pattern. Essumann built his following on Audiomack and YouTube, and that is still where the album is being heard.
