PRETUE Lyrics – Matuê | from “XTRANHO”

Matuê is dropping XTRANHO tomorrow, December 10, on his own 30PRAUM label, and PRETUE hits as the closer—a hazy trap whisper that lingers like smoke after the party’s over, pulling you into his unfiltered headspace.

This one’s a slow-burn trap cut, all muffled 808s and echoing ad-libs that stretch over three minutes of introspective haze. Matuê’s voice floats in that signature auto-tuned drawl, blending Portuguese bars with a shadowy vibe that’s pure late-night vulnerability. The sound nods to his underground roots, with production from Neckklace layering sparse hi-hats and distant synths that build tension without rushing. Lyrically, it’s got that raw edge of self-doubt and desire: snippets tease lines about chasing illusions in the glow of city lights, flipping between bravado and quiet ache, like admitting the hustle’s wearing you thin. No features here—it’s Matuê solo, letting the beat breathe space for those personal gut-punches that make trap feel less like flexing and more like therapy.

XTRANHO marks his third full project, a 16-track plunge into darker trap territory that’s all about losing grip on reality. The concept spins around paranoia and street surrealism, inspired by drifts through Brazil’s underbelly and nods to Playboi Carti’s eerie flows—think knife emojis in the promo, clown makeup in the previews, and a farewell to his brighter “333” era. It kicks off with “XCLEROSE” and ramps through collabs like “AAAAAH” with HT (BRA), “ROCKSTAR VIDA” ft. DESSIIIK, and “XBURGER” with luangelus and mavyrmldy, before easing into standouts such as “BACKSTAGE” and “TENHO QUE LIDAR COM PARANOIA.” The first single, “MEU CEMITÉRIO,” dropped yesterday to set the tone with its grave-digging metaphors.

Right now, Matuê’s at a turning point, fresh off the reflective vibes of 333 and leaning hard into this trap evolution that’s got fans dissecting every teaser. The Fortaleza native, who’s built his lane blending rap grit with psychedelic twists, is channeling his radio days and label grind into something bolder—global collabs with producers like BNYX, underground sessions that feel like secrets shared over blunts. XTRANHO’s his statement: no more half-measures, just pure, unpolished pulse.
