New song - Xeque-mate

Hey,
Long overdue, this was recorded years ago, featuring my two friends, and former Pedra Papel Tesoura bandmates.
This is a Portuguese hip-hop track, so I don't ever expect a big appeal here, I only have like 15 monthly Portuguese listeners. Still, feels good to finally be finishing projects left in the drawer for so many years.
This is my last song before September, when I'll be making quite some big changes to everything. If you want to know more, just read below.Meanwhile, this track will be out on October, 2. And until then, you can pre-save with the link below.

Mind D Gossip

Hey everyone,It's been a while since I last updated, and I apologize for that. Life has thrown some curveballs my way, and I wanted to share what's been going on and where I'm headed with my music.I've had a challenging year. I've been a chronic kidney patient my whole life due to a birth defect in my ureters. Despite this, I managed to lead a relatively normal life with some special care. However, things took a turn for the worse last year. I started having pain daily, making it impossible for me to exercise, go out, walk, meet people, work, or even pick up items. Every movement risked a trip to the hospital with renal colic and excruciating pain. This isolation was tough, and accepting my new limitations led me to battle depression.Next month, I'm going to have surgery. Hopefully, this will lead to some improvement, or at least finding what is wrong and how it can be improved.This all happened as I moved out of my parents' house to start a new life with my partner. I can't thank my family and partner enough for their incredible support during this time. I truly couldn't have managed without them.To add to the mix of emotions, I found out I'm going to be a father. Around the same time, my company let me go, which also meant losing my private healthcare. It felt like Murphy's Law was in full effect.But I'm not one to stay down for long. I recently decided to take a leap of faith and go all-in on Mind D Ark. I’ve always dreamed about dedicating myself fully to my music. What could I achieve with those eight daily hours? How many of my unfinished songs could I finally bring to life?So, I've decided to follow this path. I'm fortunate that my passion is something I can pursue from home, despite my physical limitations. I've never made money from my music before, so this is a new adventure. Whether I'll succeed or need to find another job in a year, I'm determined to give it my all.What does this mean for you? Starting in September, I'll be releasing at least two new songs every month. I'll be focusing on improving my composition, mixing, and mastering skills. I'll also work on my social media presence, keeping you updated and engaged. As an introvert, social media isn't my forte, but I'm committed to learning and sharing more with you all. Expect regular updates and some cool content along the way.Thank you for sticking with me on this journey. Let's see where this new chapter takes us.Stay tuned,
Mind D Ark (a.k.a. Nuno)
