History

Dealema was formed in 1996, the result of a merger between Factor X and Fullashit. [6] [2] [5] They self-published their first album, O Expresso do Submundo, in 1996 and reissued the cassette in 2018. [3] [7] Their self-titled album was produced by Norte Sul and released in 2003. [7] V Império (Banzé, 2008) [3] [8] is considered the album that solidified Porto as the capital of the country's hip-hop scene.[ citation needed ] In 2010, they were on-boarded to Optimus Discos by Antena 3 presenter Henrique Amaro, who was the artistic director of the label's project focusing on Portuguese talent. [9] Their EP Arte de Vivier was released in 2010, followed by A Grande Tribulação in 2011. [9] Their sixth album, Alvorada da Alma (2013) featured 12 guest musicians including Ace from Mind Da Gap ("Bom Dia"), Emicida ("Comportamentos bizarros"), Nach, and Angolan rapper Kid MC ("Plara É A Alma"). [10] [11] [12] [13] [3] [9] [14]

In 2015, the band started filming for what was initially going to be a documentary but later morphed into a multi-episode documentary series. [15] It was directed by Rui Miguel Abreu and released onto YouTube. [16] In 2017, the band shared that they were primarily focusing on their solo work but that "[t]hese breaks are nothing new." [15] They appeared in the docuseries Implementation of Rapública in 2019; in series 2, episode 5 of the A Arte Elétrica in Portugal in 2020; and No Ar in 2021. [17] [18] [19]
