B. J. P. was a Brazilian rap trio formed in 1994, with members Pedro Henrique, Marinho, and Chico. Their music often dealt directly with social and political issues, particularly those affecting people in Brazil's favelas. In 1997, their song "O Rap" caused a significant public reaction for its criticism of police brutality and corruption, drawing a public denunciation from the country's First Lady at the time.
Their debut album, "B. J. P. em Concerto," came out in 1995. They followed it with other albums like "Samba, Rap, Funk" in 1996, "Nação Hip Hop" in 1998, and "100% Favela" in 2000. Their sound mixed rap with elements of funk and samba.
Pedro Henrique was the group's frontman, known for his lyrics. Marinho contributed as a rapper and producer, helping shape their musical blend. Chico worked as the DJ and turntablist, handling beats and samples for their performances.
