Abuh

Abuh formed in São Paulo in 2014, with MC Rodolfinho, MC 2K, MC Paulin da Capital, and producer Batekoo. Their name stands for 'A Banda União do Hip-Hop,' which hints at their mix of funk, hip-hop, and electronic beats. They put out albums like 'Nois É Abuh' in 2015, 'Alfazema' in 2017, and 'Proibidão' in 2019.

That kind of buzz helped them build a following, though the industry was slow to warm to their sound at first. Other songs like 'Entre Umas Fitas' and 'Bate e Estaca' kept things moving.

Abuh's music often touches on social inequality, police brutality, and life in marginalized communities. They helped popularize an electro-funk style that became associated with São Paulo's favelas, working with a straightforward, rhythmic approach that doesn't smooth over the edges.
