O The title of the album, which is also the name of the first of the 24 tracks that make it up, “is a play with intervention music, social, with divine intervention”, said ProfJam (Mário Cotrim) in an interview with Lusa.
“It is a bit my kind of musical intervention, because I think that much of what is missing from this discussion is this reminder that we are spiritual beings and we also need to feed the spirit”, he said, stressing that “Man does not live on bread alone “.
The song, which is “food for the spirit”, also serves as a “protest to warn that things where everything seems to be wrong are resolved more at the root, which is the heart of man”.
ProfJam gives the example of the problem of corruption, which “is not fought in laws, it is fought in people’s resistance to temptation”.
“Divine intervention music is putting the defibrillator together and trying to wake people up to that facet of life,” he theorized.
The spiritual side has been present in the rapper’s career, who in 2020 presented the audiovisual project ‘#000000|Contraste’, which consists of a monologue written and performed by himself, which “represents an open letter to the spiritual world, creating a discussion around good and evil, before God, the Devil and the Human Being”, as he explained at the time.
The album he edits today is “a bit more of an essay”. “It has a lot of theology basis, a lot of dialogue basis, and then there is also the fun side of things and I tried to strike that balance. It has a more profane side and a more sacred side”, she said.
“Music of divine intervention” also turns out to be “a frame” of everything ProfJam has already done, since “it ends up summarizing, encompassing and expanding the others (works) behind”.
The ‘rapper’ admits that it is a “dense album, because of the themes, because it has a lot of pen, many bars, it has a lot to decompose”.
Furthermore, “it’s long” and the sound “is heavy, so it’s a heavy album”.
“Music of divine intervention” is also an album “very focused on writing, on the message”.
ProfJam tries to make the art and music it creates “be a bit like a filter through which the head passes and organizes itself”.
“It has a very subjective and abstract side, but I also end up organizing what’s in my head. (For example), I wanted to talk about this subject, so I mixed things up. I went to absorb many Theology classes, read things, and then listen to a heavy ‘trap’, to create a very different ‘blend’, to communicate with a heavy aggressive aesthetic and make a different ‘blend'”, he said.
In September last year, at the Iminente festival, in Lisbon, the ‘rapper’ already performed live some of the themes of “Music of divine intervention” and felt “a lot of support” from the public.
“I feel that the guys are waiting for me, they know that I will always give my best. I have a good connection with my audience and I focused on making them receive this with the certainty that I am here”, he said.
On June 30, he will perform at the Summer Fest festival, in São João da Caparica, in the municipality of Almada, and there will be “some news”. It will be a new show, but ProfJam didn’t want to reveal what it will be.
ProfJam edited the debut album, ‘#FFFFFF’, which includes the theme ‘Água de Coco’, in 2019, but debuted, in 2014, with the ‘mixtape’ ‘The Big Banger Theory’.
