DJs who are also producers. That’s a rarer lineage than one might think in hip hop, both inside and outside the doors. Jazzy Jeff will be one of the first serious references. And then there’s the unbeatable DJ Premier. Or DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist.
But most of it is dedicated exclusively to one art or another. Kanye is seen above all as a producer, just as Mixmaster Mike is seen first and foremost as a DJ. The Beastie Boys can tell you that. GI Joe is a DJ and Sickonce is a producer. Only, unlike the other examples cited, G.I. Joe and Sickonce are equally one and the same person.
Rafael Correia is the name behind alter-egos, an architect by profession and arch-enemy of music without groove, without punch and without sharp drums and snares. This Portimão native has been an active member of the Algarve hip hop scene since his early days – late 90s!, with a resume that extends from Twism to Tribruto, and this is to name just projects from the southernmost region of the country.
