With one foot in Africa and the other in France, Marin (aka Cardozo) has been operating in Abidjan since 2020. There he shines as a producer on the Ivory Coast rap scene alongside local rappers such as Chinois l’Apocalypse, Oyoki Onanayo, Ken Gohan and Stelair, with whom he just\u00a0 made the latest banger for the Blanc Manioc<\/a> label. With beats geared for dancefloors, his music skirts between Afro-trap, kuduro and baile funk. Now Cardozo expands his scope to the Burkinabe and Nigerian hip hop scenes, also contributing to the huge “Momo,” by Aunty Razor. This sound engineer and arranger combines his twin senses for technique and party at the service of Blanc Manioc, the inescapable Portuguese house XXIII, and with Limbololo Soundsystem, the crew in which he works the turntables and regularly releases remixes. Despite a young career, the artist has already featured at coveted events and festivals, alongside the Maraboutage crew from Marseille, the Nyege Nyege team in Uganda and Africa Bass Culture in Ouagadougou. Cardozo is about to release an EPon which we\u2019ll find uptempo interpretations of tracks by Damso, Naza, Meryl and Laylow.

I took the opportunity to slip some of my latest productions in, such as a collaboration with the “Naija Thugress” Aunty Rayzor, from Lagos, featuring Asna from Abidjan, and the latest from Oyoki Onanayo and Stelair who hail the same capital in the Anoumabo neighborhood. Fasten your seatbelts!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
