What happens when a Swedish Indie Folk artist meets a Brazilian rapper/graffiti artist for some causal jamming? Magic is what happens and a unique groovy hip hop tune is what comes out of it in the end.
“Pensamentos Relevantes” (Portuguese for Relevant Thoughts) started with a few chords on Jon’s acoustic guitar and some rhymes that BRUNOSMOKY had come up with. And after just a few hours trying different stuff out both the beat and the rhymes where in place.
And with the arrangement in place the song were sent to the up and coming producer/sound engineer Toby Davis (Producedbytobi) who brought the sound to a new level and also made his own alternative remix making it a double a-side single release.
BRUNOSMOKY is mostly known for his work as a graffiti artist and his works can be seen all over the globe, from his birthplace Sao Paolo, Brazil to his hometown Toronto, Canada and also in such different places as Chile and Germany. Besides being a great street artist he is also a talented rapper making great use of the particular flow in the Portuguese language.
Jon Magnusson is an Indie Folk artist from Stockholm, Sweden who always wants to try new things out. His latest EP “Psalms for Sinners” ranges from acoustic jazzy folk to sentimental indie folk and punk influenced indie rock and has gotten a great reception in the independent music scene. Collaborating with BRUNOSMOKY he takes his first steps in the hip hop world and besides this project he has a new EP coming up in December.

hahaha! even by listening to this I could imagine the amount of fun you guys had playing this! interesting transition you had there at the start. you managed it in the post production?
Thanks. Yes it's mostly done in post production. The beat is built on samples I recorded. Then I've put in some ornaments here and there. And also @producedbytobi who mixed it did some great stuff with it!
