Fuse

Portuguese rapper and producer, born October 10, 1976 in Ramalde, Porto. He wrote his first rhymes in 1993, influenced by Public Enemy and [a13732], and in 1994 made his first demo and formed Fullashit with Expeão, writing songs with a humorous bent. In 1995 they met DJ Guze and Mundo (2), members of Factor X, and Maze (4), with whom they founded [a122972]. Apart from [a122972] he kept honing his talent on mixtapes by DJs such as DJ Cruzfader, Bomberjack and DJ Nel'Assassin and collaborated with Portuguese rappers [a844233], Mind Da Gap and Micro (3). After a self-released limited edition (only 300 units) in 2001, his solo debut was reedited in 2002 by Loop:Recordings with a new track and two remixes. He released his follow-up 7496081 in 2003, also on Loop:Recordings, having had the chance to work with international producers. He has also released an album of horrorcore instrumental hip-hop, [r502503], in 2004. After a 12-year hiatus, he finally released his third album, [r9502064], in December 2016. His lyrics and productions have both a strong horror element (they often incorporate samples from horror films, and feature references to the occult) as well as a socially conscious side. He is known for his complex writing made of intricate rhymes and rich, esoteric vocabulary, delivered in a confrontational style and voice.
