14G formed in São Paulo, Brazil, with core members Rica Amabis, DJ Caique, Du Bronks, Marco Mattoli, and Willian Magalhães. Their music pulls from hip-hop, rap, and funk, with lyrics that often touch on social inequality and police brutality. They released albums like A Arte de Fazer Fogo in 2006, Na Base do Concreto in 2008, and Tempestade in 2017.
Their song "Sem Medo" became an anthem for marginalized groups in Brazil, though it also drew criticism from conservative circles. Another track, "Disfarce," appears among their most recognized work. The band established the 14G Cultural Center, which runs workshops and programs for youth in their community.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
