(https://ditto.fm/the-footprint) With The Footprint, Kourage Beatz NSI doesn’t just make music—he leaves a mark you can’t erase. This is more than an album; it’s a battle cry. Across 11 tracks, he blends Afrobeats, Hip Hop, R&B, and Pop with razor-sharp precision, delivering a project that’s fearless, relentless, and impossible to ignore.
It opens with a bang—'The Footprint (Intro)'—where Tyla Jane’s haunting vocals collide with Kourage’s unshakable presence, setting the stage for a journey that’s as real as it gets. 'By Your Grace' with Veekee James doesn’t beg for blessings—it demands them, turning gospel into a war cry of survival. 'Strangers with Memories' brings miwa and Muyeez into the mix for a gut-wrenching dive into love, loss, and the ghosts that never leave.
When 'Fadeaway' hits, Ellen Haad’s voice cuts through like a blade—this isn’t a breakup song; it’s a warning shot. 'Shine,' with Lola Rae and Emmyblaq, flips the pain into power—an anthem for anyone who’s ever been doubted but still rose to the top. Then comes 'People Are So Cold' with Kaye Styles—a cold-blooded truth serum exposing the harsh reality that not everyone wants to see you win.
Kourage doesn’t slow down. 'Shadows in Bloom' with miwa and Muyeez pulls you into the darkness—where pain blooms but never dies. 'Disguise,' featuring Ayola and GoodGirl LA, strips everything fake away, leaving only raw honesty and battle scars. 'Blue Hydrangeas,' with St. Seii and Ellen Haad, is a slow burn—a reminder that even the most beautiful things can wither and fade.
Then comes the gut-punch—'Oh My Darling (Sad Song)'—where Vwillz and Tyla Jane pour their souls into a track that’s as beautiful as it is brutal. And just when you think it’s over, Kourage closes with 'People Are So Cold (Remake),' a stripped-down, no-holds-barred version that leaves no room for pretense—only truth.
