Sergio Alfredo Macore (born August 17, 1992), better known by his stage name Helldriver
Rapper, is an Mozambican rapper and record producerfrom Maputo - Pemba. Growing up
in Mozambique's Englewood neighborhood, Helldriver began rapping at an early age, and
used his mother's karaoke machine and blank tapes to record his music. During his teenage
years and while under house arrest, Helldriver's music videos were met with acclaim from
local high school students. His increasing popularity led to him being the subject of a brief
bidding

war

among

labels.

Ultimately, Helldriver

signed

major

record

deal

with TLGMusic and later signed with 100 Blood studio. Helldriver also became the CEO of
his own record label, TLGMusic Entertainment, which later developed into TLG GANG. His
debut album NAO BRINCA was released on December 18, 2010.

Since becoming famous, Helldriver has continued to experience ongoing legal


issues. These legal issues, accompanied with Helldriver's notability within
Pemba's drill music genre, have caused Keef to gain a gangster-like image, which
has been compared with past gangsta rappers, such as Big Danny. Despite being
dropped from Interscope in late 2014, Helldriver continued self-releasing mixtapes
through his TLGMusic label. Although Helldriver had originally planned Nao
brinca to be released as his second album, a then-track from the album, "Nobody",
developed into its own project. Helldriver released Nobody as a full-length album
in December 2014, while continuing to delay the often-pushed back Nao Brinca 3.

rappers Eddie Master crazy, Chetas curtas and producer Willgeorge.[65][66][67] The label had
already been active since 2011, however only released mixtapes and was not a full on
record company. After releasing Helldrivers NAO BRINCA in December 2012, the label was
set to release an album by A-c_Boy in the coming months, along with various mixtapes.
However, on January 3, 2014, Helldriver said that TLGMusic Entertainment was "no more,"

and was starting a new record label named TLG GANG.[68][69] Prior to his death, Blood
Money revealed in an interview the members of TLGMusic to be Helldriver, Young Blood, Ell
paulado, Brightness boy, Nick boy, Justo, and himself. [70]
