After more than a decade building his career within hip-hop culture, ANEZZI presents “SONHOS SÃO À PROVA DE BALAS” (Dreams Are Bulletproof), his debut album. Released via ONErpm on all digital platforms, the project emerges as an autobiographical portrait revisiting different phases of his life, transforming personal experiences into a narrative about persistence and survival. Featuring collaborations with Alee, MC Maneirinho, KL, Maru2D, and Caio Luccas, the album also highlights the connections built throughout ANEZZI's journey within the urban scene.
Throughout the tracks, the artist explores themes such as marginalized origins, loneliness, loyalty, ambition, faith, and overcoming adversity. "The album exposes some of the main challenges I faced on my journey, presenting an honest look at who I am and how I got here," says ANEZZI.
The sound design follows this narrative. The album begins with denser, more introspective atmospheres, reflecting the environment that shaped the artist, before making room for moments of reflection, maturation, and gratitude. Tracks like "Lobo Solitário" (Lone Wolf) present the conflicts and scars that drive the project, while later songs reveal a more mature perspective on his own journey.
The album cover reinforces this concept by paying homage to an important figure in his first contact with hip-hop culture. The choice symbolizes the importance of memory and the references that helped build his worldview, directly connecting the visual aesthetic to the project's central message: not forgetting where he came from.
The launch will also feature audiovisual content and a mini-documentary that delve deeper into the stories behind the songs. The aim is to bring the audience closer to the real experiences that inspired the project, strengthening the connection between the work and the audience.
Finally, ANEZZI uses “DREAMS ARE BULLETPROOF” to engage with those who continue to believe in their dreams even in the face of difficulties. The album positions itself as a story about resilience and the ability to keep going when giving up seems like the easiest option.
