With a title that translates to Pain of The People, Dor Do Povo finds Maglera casually contemplating the value of life whilst existing within the wearing reality found within youth from the ghetto. Dor Do Povo is a bleak listening experience that is bolstered by a meditative Mashbeatz production invoking Western outback imagery. Maglera’s energy is wistful, bordering on despondent, with verses that feel more like unfiltered streams of consciousness as opposed to the more pointed performances his bombastic persona is known to curate for. Dor Do Povo is an unrestrained cry for attention from people who don’t feel valued by society and are hyperaware of that lack of care. Ason Leaux shines with his rallying call of a chorus, pained as he asks if you hopeless or even chosen in his acknowledgement of this despair. Dor Do Povo is a mounful wallow to very valid and ever-growing realities from one of South African hip-hop more theatrical and poetic voices.
