Fuse

Portuguese rapper and producer, born October 10, 1976 in Ramalde, Porto. He wrote his first rhymes in 1993, influenced by [a28209] and [a13732], and in 1994 made his first demo and formed Fullashit with [a3678060], writing songs with a humorous bent. In 1995 they met [a122971] and [a101257], members of Factor X, and [a213596], with whom they founded [a122972]. Apart from [a122972] he kept honing his talent on mixtapes by DJs such as [a844232], [a282695] and [a153099] and collaborated with Portuguese rappers [a844233], [a122966] and [a153101]. After a self-released limited edition (only 300 units) in 2001, his solo debut [m=894719] was reedited in 2002 by [l296975] with a new track and two remixes. He released his follow-up [r=7496081] in 2003, also on [l296975], 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.
