I am an MC, producer and top head of Tha Real G Records, a Portuguese independent label based in Manchester. I've been doing rap music for more than 12 years and I really love writing lyrics, building flows, skills, rapping and making samples or making my own sounds.
I used to be part of a group called "Profetas do Destino" (Prophets of Destiny) in Portugal for 5 years. I can describe my style as Hip Hop & R&B where I mix Hip Hop with R&B vibes and I jump on the language skills, having English, Spanish, French and obviously Portuguese which is my first language. Now I have my first solo album out under my label which is available at Fat City Records and HMV Manchester. My current album is mainstream music with good lyrics where I put all my rap, producer skills and its bilingual aspects together as I have used different languages to make something different which not many others rappers are doing. Also I invited UK artists, Portuguese artists, a French rapper and one African artist from Angola in order to make my album special. I have been living in Manchester for the past 3 years already and I am currently studying in my second year degree course in HRM at Huddersfield University. This will help me combine my manager skills with music to become a good C.E.O of my independent label Tha Real G Records.
My first video for this album is for the single Bebé which is about love for the person having your child. The inspiration I got for this track is from seeing people that I know in the industry who are having children or about to have them who do not show any responsibility to their partners and the child itself. Due to this issue which is not just in the music industry but also in society itself, I felt that I should make a track to portray this matter.
I have recently travelled to Angola and Portugal to promote my promo single and this experience was amazing as I went to a lot of TV shows and radio programmes. I also did quite a few shows on stage with big Portuguese and Angolan hip hop/RnB artists.
By making music I hope I can achieve not just great music but also become a recognised CEO like my role model Jay-Z.more info is available at www.tharealgrecords.blogspot.com.FEATURING...BIOGRAFIA: Keith-BKeith-B aka Iury Vigão aka Bomparnar o antigo militante do Hip Hop under ground do Barreiro (Portugal).
