Welcome to Obrigado!: a brazilian inspired beat “mixtape”, full of released and unreleased beats of mine that fit in the category of beats coming from minha alma (my soul, for the natively english speaking folks).
This mixtape is my prequel to a long awaited, much anticipated, thoroughly contemplated KC.93/Midnight Kids released beat tape, which, still untitled, should be released early spring next year. Until then, take your soul (alma) on a ride and let this be your early reminder that another summer soon comes, and that this is one of many soundtracks to that summer madness…

“I’ve been making beats for the better part of 4 years, but I’ve been musically involved since I was 9, so about 13 years now….There are a lot of influences in my life, but the biggest ones were my father’s music collection, my classical music background, The Roots (my favorite hip hop band, period), Dilla and Madlib, and jazz music in general. These days, though, cats like Dibia$e, Freddie Joachim and FlyLo are my biggest inspirations…Sankofa means “to return from whence you came”, but to me it also means to re-complete the cycle, the same cycle you’ve been completing since your soul has inhabited this existance; to basically go back to your roots again, renewed and evolved from the last time you progressed, to reflect and be one with yourself again, as you always have been…”
