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.

Ta matome nha vida ka meste palavra
Só k bo sorrise ja bo cativame ya
Encosta encosta e be dome bo bênção
Oh oh hoje mi ê di bo
No no maz ê só pa bo sabe
Um crê amabo oh má infelizmente nha coração já tem dono oh
Um crê amabo oh má infelizmente nha coração já tem dono oh
Amdjor no para cause is driving me crazy
Um ca crê larga má ê melhor pa noz dois
Pamod bo tem poder e bo ê tão convencida
Fazem má mim o que bo crê
Pom ta squa de cabeça se bo crê
Oh oh hoje mi ê di bo
No no maz é só pa bo sabe
Um crê amabo oh má infelizmente nha coração já tem dono oh oh
Boa tem poder
Um crê amabo oh má infelizmente nha coração já tem dono oh
Um crê amabo oh má infelizmente nha coração já tem dono oh
The lyrics in Nelson Freitas's song "Um Cre Amabo" speak about the dangers of falling in love with someone who has power over you. The first line, "Cosinha mais linda mas tão perigosa" means "you are the most beautiful thing but so dangerous." The singer is acknowledging how attractive the person is, but also the potential risks and consequences that come with loving them.
The line "Ta matome nha vida ka meste palavra" translates to "you are taking over my life, I don't need words." The person's presence alone is enough to consume the singer's life. The chorus, "Um crê amabo oh má infelizmente nha coração já tem dono oh," means "I want to love you, but unfortunately, my heart already belongs to someone else." The singer is conflicted between his desire for this person and his loyalty to his current partner.
The second verse, "Amdjor no para cause is driving me crazy, Um ca crê larga má ê melhor pa noz dois" means, "the cause for stopping is driving me crazy, but it's better for both of us if I don't let go." The singer knows that he should end things with this person, but he's unable to because of the power they hold over him.
In summary, "Um Cre Amabo" is a song about the dangers of falling in love with someone who holds power over you, the conflict between desire and loyalty, and the pressures to let go of a potentially harmful relationship.
