![]() It’s messy and frustrating, and it’s also just something you’ll have to get used to if you live in Portugal – well, to varying degrees. And, it’s quite rare that anyone ever tells you: you will need to figure these things out for yourself and hope that when you speak to a different person they’re looking for the same form. The hardest part is that you never know which form you need to fill in or which person you need to speak to. Most people know that bureaucracy exists in Portugal, and aren’t surprised when they come up against it. The hardest part of bureaucracy isn’t the bureaucracy itself. Try to get anything done in Portugal, whether it’s starting a business or applying for planning permission, and you’ll run into a little thing called bureaucracy. Instead, weigh up the pros against the cons and then, being honest with yourself, decide if Portugal is right for you. Portugal is Portugal, and you shouldn’t come here hoping for change or expecting change. It’s also not a list of things that Portuguese should change, and it’s definitely not a list of things that Portugal will change – no matter how sensible that change might seem to you. It’s also important to point out that this is a list of the downsides of Portugal primarily from the point of view of an outsider (although Portuguese people often agree with some of the things on this list). As mentioned, there are lots of upsides to living in Portugal, but this website wouldn’t be doing its job if it didn’t give you appropriate expectations. But it’s important to get the full picture before you move somewhere new.

The entire roster, including Indonesian singer NIKI, South Korean rapper Keith Ape, and guests LAFF TRAXX, Yung Bans, Yung Pinch, and Zion.T, are expected to perform. While Japanese-Australian singer Joji handles hook duties, August 08, Rich Brian, and Chinese hip-hop group Higher Brothers provide the verses in both English and in Sichuanese Mandarin.Ĩ8rising intends to introduce their unique blend of Asian youth culture and hip-hop to a wider audience later this summer with its first music festival, also titled Head In The Clouds, at Los Angeles State Historic Park on September 22. The video does what it says on the tin, featuring grainy, home movie-style footage of the label’s artists hanging out during typical summertime activities like pool parties and beach days. After convincing the young Indonesian rapper to change his name, it looks like the label is shifting into high gear promoting Brian and its other artists, Joji, Higher Brothers, and August 08, with a music video for “Summertime Sadness,” the first single from the label’s upcoming compilation album, Head In The Clouds. The “hybrid management, record label, video production and marketing company” came under fire due to its controversial artist Rich Brian’s original moniker, Rich Chigga, which many condemned as a racist troll for attention. 88rising, the LA-based hip-hop label focused on tapping the burgeoning market for rappers of Asian descent, has seen its share of ups and downs since its inception in 2015.
