“MISFITS T-SHIRT” carries the spirit of those who never fit in.
Just like the punk sound of the Misfits broke the rules of rock, trap was born from the same fire — turning pain, rage, and truth into style and power.

O MAGO (The Wizard) is the one who understands chaos and shapes it — turning difference into strength.
Between the scream of punk and the 808s of trap lies the same energy: authenticity with no permission needed.

This track is for the ones who live off the line but build their own path.
Punk once screamed against the system with dirty guitars; now trap does the same with distorted 808s and tired hearts.

It’s a sound for those who wear rebellion as armor and use music as a spell to stay free.

“MISFITS T-SHIRT” carrega o espírito dos que nunca se encaixaram.
Assim como o punk e o som sujo dos Misfits quebraram padrões no rock, o trap nasce do mesmo impulso: transformar dor, raiva e verdade em estilo e poder.

O MAGO é aquele que entende o caos e o molda — transforma o diferente em força.
Entre o grito do punk e o 808 do trap existe a mesma energia: autenticidade sem pedir permissão.

Esse som é pra quem vive fora da linha, mas cria o próprio caminho.
No começo, o punk gritou contra o sistema com guitarras sujas; hoje, o trap faz o mesmo com 808s distorcidos e corações cansados.

É o som pra quem veste a rebeldia como armadura e usa o som como feitiço pra continuar sendo livre.

A fantastic crowd, a full room of people dancing, the energy was unreal - the best way to start the new year.
