100% Sem Juízo formed in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro in 1999, with founding members MC Sapão and DJ Rogerinho DJ. Their music came from that specific place and time, with lyrics that addressed the realities of poverty and violence in their community. The song "Bolinho de Arroz" became their most recognizable track.
Their 2003 album "Funk Carioca" was a commercial success in Brazil. The group's explicit lyrics about social issues sometimes drew criticism and censorship attempts, but they kept recording. Other albums followed, including "Na Veia" in 2005 and "Nova Era" in 2017.
Beyond the core duo, other vocalists like Nego Binho and MC Micael have been part of the band, along with DJ Tatã on turntables. Their sound is rooted in Brazilian funk, and they found an audience that extended beyond their home country.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
