Mc Oz is a representative of the favela of Rocinha rap that I met on the outskirts of Lapa, as happened with Mr Break, the battle of knowledge in Progress served to bring us closer. We were exchanging idea on the Internet, and recorded the first sound in the same home scheme. Until we come to present it live in the Battle of Knowledge. Some time later feel the need to make a new song together, MAZE was born there.
This was a challenge. First time I decided to enter the studio with instruments under his arm. Rodrigo Martins was a great partner who took the guitar while I was with a small guitar that I borrowed. Tambourine and eggs, I had at home. The bass and drums continued in the scheme of synthesizers.
Ta guitar already tuned? Ok Cavaquinho too? Uhum. Microphone positioned? Ta yes, we can get.
Writes. Listen. Rewrite.
Multiply that by at least 10 times and have a day of studio.
As I sat at home to mix the recorded tracks I felt I had something out of place. But the guitar, the ukulele and other instruments were all good guys in time. Not take long to realize that what was bad in the parade was my own voice. I was too preoccupied with the whole scheme of recording and the hours in the studio to sing when I was already tired and unfocused. The first version that I usually write at home while I'm composing was even more interesting. And now?
I had to return to the studio to rerecord. But this time, instead of taking the instruments under his arm and a full head, I did take my inspiration.

Not everything that appears is not it?
When I first heard in the house of Mr. Break the instruments he produced from soils sampled trumpets, I freaked out. A lot of beautiful images popped into my head. I was super excited to write a song about Rio de Janeiro on Brazil. The melody of the instrumental conveyed a great energy and created the right climate. My mission would be a breeze.
Yeah, right.
I composed the first half and could not proceed further. I left it aside for over a year to receive an email from my father who was out of the river and full of nostalgia here, saying, "New York and Paris should be beautiful, but where in the world will hear a chorinho on the sidewalk? "
Ready. Just go to the studio was missing. This year I took care of that.

Much gratitude for the partner Mr. Break that produced this technique and gave me as a means of support.
There I was in Leblon. Greater Friaça, laziness and all. My friend telling me to stop grumbling that night would be good. Okay. I followed the advice given and decided to have fun, especially when I discovered that Jorge Ben Jor there would be sponsoring the event. A meeting for poetry reading and from what I remember, had never been in one before. At first I confess that I was getting kind of boring, but actually I was that I was boring that day. Until the time came when even the most pangas faces the city could have fun. A guy pulled a sax of nowhere, another picked up a guitar and a portion of chucalhos were also there. Jorge Ben Jor led to the vocals and invited anyone interested in the discourse around poetry in the middle of the instrumental music while eating loose. At that moment I was intrigued and nervous inside because I knew I wanted to join that mess too. The throat itching to tava. Gave no other, I was approaching little by little, I got in line, grabbed the microphone and sang the words of a song of mine. My poetry. It was good. Almost a relief. I think every independent artist is a little so right? Anyway. I was highly praised and still winning in the draw for a book. Then I was thinking, even though I have good friends.

The Progress Casting for many years to shake the cultural scene of Rio de Janeiro. In 2007 there by rolling monthly Battle of Knowledge, an event dedicated to Hip Hop hosted by rapper Marshal, in fact one of my musical references. In the Battle of Knowledge freestyle duels were different. Place in the event of harm proposed another option: to discuss current affairs and encourage intellectual spontaneous manifestation. The audience chose the themes freely writing on a blackboard. The words left over there served as a reference to improvised rhymes of MC's. It was one of those special nights I met a guy just as important, Mr. Break . Some months after this meeting came our musical partnership, with the instrumental produced by the unit and the recording made in RZN Records .

This photo was taken this year in the studio during the recording of the song was not in SLEEP ONLY. The funny this song is that even a short time I could not remember it existed. A while ago, my pc has "crash" in hd and so had to dig up old CDs to retrieve my stuff. Amid all this dust, just think of music when I started writing rap. Lot was bad! But it was also in this mess that I found this old song. Something about it captivated me, so I decided to rewrite it and save it.

At my grandmother came the inspiration to write a song with the family while listening to the CD that played on the radio. Going back to my corner my mind swarmed with ideas. The plan was to recycle the melody that moved me to bring the words he needed to say at this time. Produced using only the instrumental synthesizers, the vocal was recorded in 2008 in the studio Noise. The song also has the participation of an alternative heavy crown of the MPB.
Beginning the PROGRESSIVE, start posting the first song, listen aê:
