Editor's note

Valete, the Portuguese rapper who writes plainly about hard things

His lyrics tackle poverty, mental health, and social issues with a directness that has drawn both listeners and criticism.

If you want to hear Valete's voice at its clearest, try 'No Meio Das Labaredas (Homo Libero)' or 'Baile de Máscaras.' They frame what he does.

Valete matters because he says things other rappers might avoid. Songs like 'No Meio Das Labaredas (Homo Libero)' and 'Baile de Máscaras' show how he handles complex subjects without softening them. His 2010 album 'Plano B' won a Golden Globe in Portugal, which tells you his approach connects.

He started with a self-titled debut in 2005, then put out 'Em Contra Da Maré' in 2007 and 'Plano B' in 2010. Later records like 2014's 'Auto da Fé' and 2017's 'Ouro Sobre Azul' kept that same straightforward style going.
