GROGNation was a Portuguese hip-hop collective known for its sharp lyrical prowess, social awareness, and dedication to authentic storytelling. Formed in 2011, GROGNation emerged from the streets of Mem Martins, a suburb of Lisbon, and quickly gained a devoted fan base in Portugal’s hip-hop scene. The group’s name, inspired by the Portuguese slang word “grog” (which loosely translates to “crazy” or “intense”), captured the members’ passion and fearless approach to their music.

Throughout their career, GROGNation was praised for their energetic performances and commitment to addressing real-life struggles and the challenges of young adulthood. While the group eventually disbanded, their influence in Portuguese hip-hop endures, as “Sem Censura” continues to be celebrated by fans of the genre.

GROGNation’s 2014 EP, “Sem Censura,” marked a significant milestone in Portuguese hip-hop. It showcased the group’s lyrical prowess and collaborative spirit. The project features notable collaborations with artists such as Sir Scratch, NBC, Landim, and Vinil and includes production contributions from CHARLIE BEATS, Factor, Intakto, KID, REIS, Sam The Kid, Solidmovement, and Tushimitsu.

“Sem Censura” is a raw and dynamic album that explores themes of personal struggles, societal issues, and resilience. With collaborations featuring several notable artists in Portuguese hip-hop, this album remains a powerful showcase of GROGNation’s unique style. Essential tracks include “Buzz,” “Shot’s de GROG,” and “Não Posso Ficar (feat. Sir Scratch),” which highlight the group’s lyrical strength and rhythmic intensity.
