The musician who has worked with some of the top rappers in Portugal and Angola, including Sam The Kid, Valete, and Kalibrados, has joined forces with the Geobek Standard powered by George Beke who has worked with international Afrobeats artists like Burna Boy, Mr. Eazi etc in his quest to strategically project his music and his brand into the global and well-appreciated Afrobeats music genre. On an interview with Duas Caras, he said that he has spent most of his time in the studio, performing live as usual, and working with other Afrobeats artistes worldwide to solidify his understanding of the music form.
The New Era

He said: “After years of rapping and being consistently considered the best rapper by the masses I concluded that I have nothing more to offer in the rap game besides supporting other artistes coming up, it’s the right thing to do.
“Regarding my career, I’m in a new place now. Mentally, spiritually, emotionally, physically, and most importantly I’m very Honest with myself and I have no illusions. I believe in the power of good art supported by organization and team effort.
“I choose a new and pleasant way of expressing myself through music which demands much more from me and it’s unpredictable but fun enough for me to enjoy it.” Caras said.
“I can tell for sure that Mozambique has great artistes but the lack of proper structure and means to showcase internationally hinders the growth of the industry.” He said.

I believe in the saying: the real joy is in the journey, not the destination.” The musician noted.
