Brazilian rap  Mikezin releases his first EP

 

One of the biggest revelations of the rhyme battles of recent years, Michael Barbosa Rodrigues, "Mikezin", 20, is the protagonist of the new release of the Aldeia Records label. Titled "O Escolhido", the MC's debut EP will consist of seven new tracks, two of them with video clips, and will mark a more authorial phase of the artist.

 

"I tried to convey the idea that, regardless of what you earn or have, what life gives you, you can never forget who ran with you. Being on top is very good, but being with those strengthens you is even better ", explained the rapper, who is known in battles for his charisma and talent.

 

The work features entries handpicked by "Mikezin" himself. In addition to longtime partners Alva, Jafari, Jaya Kawe and Veigh, the artist also bets on the renowned Duzz, Sueth and Tivityn. Of the seven tracks, five are produced by Greezy; the other two, in partnership with Ecologyk and Tibery.

 

The track chosen for the release is called "Groupies", with participation by Jafari and QTZ Tivityn. Produced by Greezy, the video for the single questions the superficiality of the relationships that exist in the world of fame.

Country Risk and Industry Research Round-Up Explore our research spanning supply chain shifts, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, geopolitical risks and the US election in our latest round-up below: Global Trade Shake-up A combination of factors including the global Covid-19 pandemic, US protectionism and new technologies will reshape global trade in the coming years. We published a raft of analysis on this topic over July, including an overarching webinar. We focused on US/China and US/EU relations and considered the extent to which the US’ November election could impact US and global trade policy. Finally we looked at shifting supply chains, highlighting how a greater embrace of ‘regionalisation’ will impact different parts of the supply chain and which countries stand to benefit.

Article: Shift In Global Manufacturing Supply Chains Will Offer Limited Benefit For SSA Article: MENA Textiles And Mid-Range Manufactured Exports To Benefit From Global Supply Chain Diversification Industry 4.0 Quietly Taking Shape Amidst the economic turmoil being wrought by the global Covid-19 pandemic, investments continue to be made in laying the groundwork for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or ‘Industry 4.0’. Most strikingly, China’s vast economic stimulus package to be implemented over the coming months includes major investments into new technologies such as 5G, Ultra-High Voltage (UHV) transmission and electric vehicle infrastructure. Outside of China, numerous smart ports, particularly in Asia and Europe, are leading the push towards increased automation and connectivity through the use of technologies such as AI, Blockchain and IoT.

The multi-decade trend of closer economic and political ties between the West and China is under threat. We published a raft of analysis on this topic in July, for instance examining why US-China tensions are on a path towards greater escalation in the coming years. As China charts a more unilateral path, other major emerging markets will face starker choices over their diplomatic relations with the country. For instance, in a world order increasingly bifurcated between China and the West, India will likely lean closer to the Western powers in a bid to counter China’s growing geopolitical influence in the Indo-Pacific region.

For instance, we see a rising possibility of a dispute over the results of the November US general election, due to the likely unprecedented use of mail-in balloting. Disputes over the logistics and results of the election could plunge the US into a political legitimacy crisis unprecedented in the modern era.
