BACKSTAGE Lyrics – Matuê | from “XTRANHO”

Matuê’s revving up the underground inferno with XTRANHO, his third studio blaze dropping December 10 via 30PRAUM, and BACKSTAGE crashes in like a red-light fever dream—where the crowd fades and the real show’s just getting filthy behind the curtain.

This track’s Matuê in full hedonist mode: a trap grenade lobbed by superproducer BNYX®, all slinky synths and pounding 808s that slither like a late-night hookup you shouldn’t remember but can’t forget. Recorded live in a raw September 8 session (starting with just that killer chorus), it’s Brazilian trap laced with hyper-sexual swagger—explicit bars flipping lust into lore, where he’s no savior but the plague (“Eu não sou a cura, eu sou a peste”). Thematically, it’s power play wrapped in peril: craving that de quatro surrender, calling shots as “mestre” while owning the chaos of a woman too sexy to resist. No features here; it’s pure Matuê alchemy, blending his melodic menace with that gritty Fortaleza edge, teased in Insta Lives where fans lost it over the “luz vermelha” hook syncing to strobe-lit thirst traps.

XTRANHO itself? It’s a 16-track trap odyssey, ditching the polish for raw, xtranho vibes—think “cuidado pra não perder o controle” etched in every drop, a farewell to his old skin and a dive into darker, collaborative depths. Opener “XCLEROSE” sets the shadowy tone, rolling into collabs like “AAAAAAAH” ft. HT (BRA), “ROCKSTAR VIDA” with DESSIIIK, “ADAGAS E MARTELOS” and “XBURGER” ft. luangelus & mavyrmldy, plus standouts “REAL Gs MOVE SILENT LIKE LASAGNA” and the fresh single “MEU CEMITÉRIO” (out December 8). Producers like Brandao, Neckklace, and Bvrdy lace it with underground grit, clocking around 50 minutes of boundary-pushing beats that scream evolution from his 333 era. It’s less album, more manifesto—vault raids and studio cyphers with rising Fortaleza talents like Phl Notunrboy and FAB GODAMN, all marketed with cryptic posts since August, building to this December detonation.

Matuê’s owning his villain arc at 28, post-333’s platinum storm and that sold-out Candiru tour turning arenas into mosh pits. The dude who flipped trap into Brazil’s mainstream monster (over 10M monthly listeners) is leaning weirder, trading viral hooks for introspective plagues—fresh off Latin Grammy whispers and a Ryu, the Runner link-up that’s got TikTok in a chokehold. XTRANHO’s his boldest swing yet: proof he’s not just surviving the scene, he’s rewriting its dark heart.
