Review by Youri van de Konijnenberg

HOPEDOPE is a collaborative album between the Portuguese DJ and producer Moullinex and the Angolan poet, performer, and visual artist Nástio Mosquito. The album, released in 2017, is a fusion of electronic music, spoken word, and political commentary.

The album features ten tracks, each with its own unique flavor and message. From the opening track "The Grid" to the closing track "Camo," HOPEDOPE takes the listener on a journey through themes of oppression, resistance, and hope.

Moullinex's production skills shine through on every track, creating a sonic landscape that is both rich and dynamic. Mosquito's spoken word performances are equally impressive, delivering powerful messages with a mix of humor and intensity.

The standout track on the album is "Barefoot," a pulsating dance track that features Mosquito's vocals layered over a catchy beat. The track is both uplifting and thought-provoking, with Mosquito's lyrics touching on themes of identity and self-discovery.
