Power Of Stronda

Power of Stronda came together in Lisbon in the early 2000s, mixing hip-hop with African rhythms and Portuguese sounds. The group included Boss AC on lyrics, Golpe on production, and Ice rapping. Their songs like 'A Palavra Amor' and 'Garotos Coca-Cola' often carried social commentary, which sometimes led to accusations of promoting violence, though they kept at it.

In 2007, 'A Palavra Amor' became a breakout hit, resonating with listeners for its heartfelt tone. They put out albums such as 'Power of Stronda... No Coração' in 2004 and 'Pira' in 2010, building a discography that reflected their neighborhood roots and sharp observations.

Their music, including tracks like 'Sem Papas Na Lingua', blended beats with pointed lyrics, influencing Portuguese hip-hop without smoothing over the rough edges. They worked through the noise, leaving a straightforward catalog that speaks for itself.
