Barely a teenager, Freitas learned to entertain through the art of hip-hop and throughout the years the flexibility of his talent allowed him to flow with changing vibes of the music industry. Once a break-dancer, then the front man of the infamous group Quatro Plus, a producer, a writer, a singer, engineer and now he is the owner of GhettoZouk Music, a label created by Nelson Freitas with artists as Chelsy Shantel & William araujo. With his roots connected to the Cape Verde islands and his passion for the hip-hop culture inspired Freitas to take on a challenge to change the contemporary sound of the Cape Verdean music.
In 1997 the compilation CD of “MOBASS Presents” was released featuring the track, “Hoje em Dia” (Now a Days), which officially launched Quatro Plus (formally known as Quatro) in the market. As one of the lead singers of the group, Quatro Plus went on to release three successful albums “4-Voz” (Four Voices) in 1998, “Bem Conche” (Get to Know Us) in 2002 and “Ultima Viagem” (Last Voyage) in 2005.
In almost a decade, Freitas has earned what’s rightfully his as he is of the most admired and respected producers, singers and writers in the Cape Verdean as well as the zouk music industry. With a blend of Cape Verdean Kriol and English lyrics, a twist of R&B and hip-hop incorporated with zouk and traditional Cape Verdean music.With al these ingredients Nelson made his solo album called “ Magic “ In October 2006.The album sold over 25.000 copies world wide.
With new creative input and even more experience the second album “ My life “ is a fact. The album promises to bring yet another dose of creativity and talent as the 12 track album aims to live-up to his previous album “ magic “ or even surpass it. featuring artists on the album will be William Araujo, Mc Knowledje, Laisa Sanches & Anselmo Ralph.

The song "Chuva Pode Da" by Nelson Freitas is in Cape Verdean Creole, and it talks about personal struggles, perseverance, and hope. The lyrics imply that the singer has faced difficulties, possibly due to losing friends, but they've decided to remain strong and follow their own path. They express the belief that nobody else can bring them down and that they trust in themselves and in a higher power. The chorus of the song is "Chuva pode dá, nuvens no ar, n'ka ta importa, ma mi n'tem" which means "rain may fall, clouds in the air, it doesn't matter, but I have me." The rain may denote troubles, but the singer is not affected by them and has the strength and courage to move forward.
The verses talk about shaking off a bad mood, getting up with a clear mind and facing the day. The singer mentions that things have changed and they have lost some friends, but they have also gained some along the way. The lyrics seem to convey a message that the journey can be hard, but tough times are temporary, and personal strength can help overcome them. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the importance of self-love, confidence and resilience to face personal struggles.
