about

This track was inspired by the times I played MHD's track A Kele Nta at some parties. I thought: this is fresh - a MC spittin on this type of beat. So when I cooked up the core of this track, I sent it over to Karlon and "challenged" him to drop some verses in his own style over a more dance beat. I knew he would kill it and he did. Baaaaam! Karlon used to be one half of legendary duo Nigga Poison - probably the best ever crioulo (from Cabo Verde) rapping hip-hop group ever. He just released a very nice album callep Passaporti, heavily influenced by music from Cabo Verde. Meu Kota means "My Old One" and is a reference by Karlon to myself - I am from the first generation of Portuguese MCs (in case you didn't know) while he is from the second.
Guitars liks by old-school guitarist Nelson da Costa (brother of Manecas da Costa and has played with most legendary bands from Cabo Verde in the 80s and 90s) and the percussion by Toni (of afro dance troop Batoto Yetu) were recorded during one big studio session back in January.
