OS MELHORES Lyrics – Matuê | from “XTRANHO”

Matuê’s XTRANHO slammed into the scene like a supercar peeling out of the shadows on December 10 via 30PRAUM, his most unhinged trap odyssey yet, and “OS MELHORES” roars in as track 13—the ultimate mic-drop flex that shut down doubters and lit up the crowd at his Espaço Liv takeover last month.

This closer hits like a victory procession: booming 808s from producers Neckklace and Smokefusion (both Brazilian beat wizards) underpin Matuê’s slick, bilingual flows, blending gritty trap snares with those euphoric, arena-ready hooks that echo through São Paulo nights. It’s pure self-coronation—swaggering over themes of unbreakable hustle, from fleeing the scene in a STO (“tipo Furiosos e Velozes”) to stacking wins while haters peddle folklore.

That refrain? A relentless chant of supremacy (“Somos os melhores, mentiroso quem disser que é outro”), laced with real-life jabs at Stories-fakers and record-shattering runs. Performed live on November 23 at Espaço Liv—after a last-minute festival pivot that turned chaos into legend—it had fans screaming every bar, a raw preview that producer L. Abner hyped on X as the album’s “unstoppable heart.” No features here; it’s Matuê solo, spitting in Portuguese and English to claim global turf, his voice dripping that signature auto-tuned menace over bass that rattles your soul.

XTRANHO itself? A 13-track fever dream titled after the Portuguese for “strange,” it’s Matuê warping reality into a sonic funhouse—opener “REI TUË” sets the throne-grab vibe, while cuts like “TALKING BOUT,” “MEU CEMITÉRIO,” and “ÍCONE FASHION” (ft. kouth) dive into fame’s twisted underbelly with glitchy synths, reggaeton pulses, and orchestral swells. Clocking 34 minutes, it’s his boldest pivot: less party anthems, more cinematic confessions of the grind that forged a king. Recorded in piecemeal sessions amid tour madness, it nods to his Fortaleza roots but eyes the world, proving trap’s no longer regional—it’s Matuê’s empire.

He’s at peak untouchable right now, fresh off 333’s September chart domination and a decade of consecutive No. 1s that flipped Brazilian hip-hop’s script. The 30-year-old visionary—who ditched college for beats and built 30PRAUM from bedroom demos—is evolving into rap’s philosopher-king, trading raw aggression for polished poetry that still packs a punch. XTRANHO’s his manifesto: strange times demand strange kings, and he’s wearing the crown with a grin.
