Career

In 2011, Froid founded the hip hop group Um Barril de Rap with two friends. Initially the group's members were Froid himself, Sampa and Yank. After a while, producer Disstinto also joined the group. In 2017, the group disbanded after Yank left, so Froid continued his solo career.[11] While he was a member of the group Um Barril de Rap, Froid also participated in freestyle rap battles, attending Batalha do Neuronio and Batalha do Museu, based at the National Museum of the Republic in Brasília, thus growing in the national rap scene and gaining his notoriety.[12]

In 2017, he aroused controversy by saying that the Earth was flat and NASA lied.[13] In early December 2017, he released a single, titled "Lamentável, pt. III", with Cynthia Luz.[14] He also featured on Cynthia Luz's song "Deixa Ela" from her debut album Do Caos ao Nirvana released on December 15 2017.[15][16] On December 22 2017, he released his first original solo album, titled O Pior Disco do Ano (lit. "The Worst Album of the Year"). In an interview with Redbull.com, he explained the title as an attempt to provoke people into listening to the album to check for themselves if it was really as bad as the title suggested.[17][18][14] In 2018, he released his second solo album, Teoria do Ciclo da Água.[19][20]

In May 2019, he released a collaboration mixtape with Santzu, titled O Homem Não Para Nunca Vol.1.[21] In early August 2019, Froid and Cynthia Luz released a single titled "Nosso Jeito".[22]

Later in the same month, Froid released another single with Cynthia Luz, "Lambada". Its music video was directed by Mark Vales.[23] The song was part of Froid and Luz's future collaboration album.[23][24] In the summer of 2022, Froid played at the João Rock festival.[25] His audiovisual project "Acústico: O Florista" resulted in a DVD of acoustic versions of Victor Xamã's hits. The DVD was released in 2023.[26][27]

In August 2023, Froid released a new album titled Mr. Ego[3] with the intention to "put himself back in the Trap scene".[27][28][29]
