Filipe Ret’s Estilo Livre feels like an open-air diary, shouted from the rooftops of Rio. Over a gritty boom-bap beat, the rapper toasts to friends, family, and home city pride while admitting the flaws and vices that color his everyday life. He celebrates 27 years of mistakes, ice-cold beers in hand, and joints that spark both creativity and controversy. By putting “black on white” truth in his lyrics, Ret asserts total authenticity: he is immune to past pain, loyal to his crew, and forever ready to spit bars that mix street wisdom with philosophical jabs at shallow thinking.
Beneath the bravado, the song carries a rebellious manifesto: question easy answers, think beyond limits, and keep ambition wider than the world itself. Ret mocks weak rap and “cheap victories,” insisting that real art comes from instinct and fearless intelligence. When he shouts “Estilo livre vivaz” (lively free style), it is both a rallying cry and a personal motto, urging listeners to raise their hands, embrace risk, and live with raw, unapologetic freedom.
