AJ Tracey has shared ‘Quaresma’, inspired by footballer Ricardo Quaresma
West London rapper teams up with producer GLIDEZ on the football-inspired new track.
Independent UK rapper AJ Tracey is back with 'Quaresma', a GLIDEZ-produced cut that arrives hot on the heels of his Blade Brown collaboration 'Ibiza'.
Named after Portuguese footballer Ricardo Quaresma, the track doubles as a nod to the rapper's lifelong passion for the sport, while the title's connotations of flair and precision sit alongside late-night, bass-driven production.
'Quaresma' marks another shift in gears following his third studio album 'Don't Die Before You're Dead'. That record, released through his own Revenge Records, leaned into vulnerability and introspection, weaving grime, garage and R&B together across collaborations with Jorja Smith, Aitch, Headie One and the MTP collective, and tackling subjects from family and faith to fame and resilience.
Beyond his solo output, AJ Tracey can also currently be heard guesting on Unknown T's 'Hear Dat Styl' and Pozer's 'Hulk Hogan'.
