Keidje Torres Lima is a Portuguese language political hip hop artist, known professionally as Valete.

From a young age he developed strong politic opinions, influenced by his Philosophy teacher at school.

He continued with Canal 115 for 2 more years constantly performing in his country, but then decided to dedicate himself to his studies, getting a degree in Communication Sciences at the Universidade Independente.

Valete, who before this album was known for being a freestyle or battle MC, clearly showed his lyrical talent with elaborate rhymes, taking on anti-capitalist overtones.

[5] A prominent hip hop critic, Rui Miguel Abreu, has called him the only political rapper in Portugal.
