300 Faveladxs formed in 2017 as a collective of rappers from Paraisópolis, a favela in São Paulo. The group includes MCs like Preta Rara and Nego Bala, and their music addresses the realities of their community with direct, confrontational lyrics. Their track 'Brutality #DISS' became known for its commentary on police violence and social inequality.
Their sound pulls from classic hip-hop influences but stays grounded in the specific experiences of Brazil's marginalized neighborhoods. Songs like 'Fazer o Que?' and 'PARTICULARMENTE' continue this approach, with aggressive flows and hard beats that match the urgency of their messages. The group has faced criticism from authorities for their outspoken content, but they've maintained their focus on giving voice to these perspectives without softening their delivery.
They released an EP called 'Nós por Nós' in 2018 and an album titled 'Febre Amarela' in 2020. The collective includes several MCs and DJs, working together to keep their music rooted in the community it comes from.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
