Preto no Branco (literally "black on white") was Boss AC's fourth album released on 16 March 2009 in Portugal. It celebrates fifteen years of his career from his first album Rapública (or Rapublic). The album features appearances by Olavo Bilac and TC and the duet by the fado singer Mariza who made the first disco single UPA - Undiso Para Ajudar, a disc with the original duets of Portuguese artists and serves with a company of social actions which had heard on the radio in late 2008, promoted by Associação Encontrar-se. Samples by Vitorino and the Cape Verdean singer Ildo Lobo are used in the album. The video of the single Estou Vivo was recorded in Macau.
