Built from a foundation of beats, samples, and spoken word, the record unfolds like a sonic journal — a stream of consciousness where Diaphra documents his visions, political stance, and cultural roots. Rather than fitting into a single genre, it navigates the crossroads of experimental hip-hop, African rhythm, and abstract electronic textures, marked by a strong sense of independence and identity.

"Diaphra's Blackbook Of The Beats" is both personal and universal, blurring lines between narrative and sound sculpture. It stands as an uncompromising statement from one of Lisbon’s most innovative voices, tying together tradition, rebellion, and futurist sound into a singular listening experience.
