Adamastor

Portuguese underground rapper from Lisbon. He began rapping in 1996 on the streets of Benfica, initially influenced by groups such as [a116823], Boot Camp Clik and Mobb Deep. Although at first a dilettante, without hopes of becoming professional, he began devoting more of his time to hip-hop, and in 1997 founded [a3232078] with childhood friend [a844233]. Between 1997 and 1999 he appeared live and on mixtapes, building a name for himself in the underground. Due to creative differences, he decided to leave [a3232078] and travel the solo route, using this time to further define his own style of hardcore rap, characterized by hard-hitting, raw lyrics delivered in a confrontational voice. He later rejoined the group with new member Bónus on Serviço Público.
