Keidje Torres Lima, known professionally as Valete, is a Portuguese rapper and activist. In the duration of his career, he has become a staple of Portuguese hip-hop, being praised for the political message of his music.
==Life & music career== Valete was born in Lisbon to São Toméan parents, where he was raised in the Benfica neighborhood. He traveled to Arroja, returned to Benfica, then moved to Amadora and finally settled in Damaia. From a young age he developed strong political opinions, influenced by his philosophy teacher at school. During his youth he maintained relations with the Portuguese Communist Youth and the Portuguese Communist Party. However, in the same interview he admitted that despite being a party in which he identifies himself ideologically, he has issues its structure and social agendas. Thus, he prefers to embrace the Bloco de Esquerda, because it's closer to his political references. He began listening to rap music in 1991, later encountering such artists like Nas, Krs-one and Racionais MC's.
