Known for viral collaborations with Portuguese contemporary and idiosyncratic pop artist
PZ (with the singles "Cara de Chewbacca" and "Tu És A Minha Gaja") and with psychedelic
rap group Corona (with its two concept albums "Lo-Fi Hipster Sheat" and "Lo-Fi Hipster
Trip"), dB maintains his genesis: the beatmaking. It was his first three records of
instrumentals - "[Retro]Activo" (2012), "[Beat]erapia” (2012) and “Black Cobra” (2014) -
that put him on the radar of portuguese music.
The sampling is the main way that dB uses to pass messages, references and moods.
After 2 years since his last solo release, Portugal’s prominent artist is back with an
exploratory tribute album to his hometown: 4400 OG (4400 = Gaia’s ZIP code, OG =
Original Gangsta).
