Background notes
Archive material and source history
BC João was a rap group from São Paulo that formed in the late 1990s. Their debut album 'O Rap do Frag Negativo' came out in 1998 and gave them a national audience. The title track became something of an anthem, with lyrics that addressed racial discrimination and police violence.
They released a few more albums over the next several years, including 'O Samba Poético' in 1999 and 'Nordeste Independente' in 2002. Their music often dealt with social issues, and they faced some criticism for their outspoken lyrics. The group's members included João Bispo do Nascimento on vocals, Cézar Rodrigues rapping, and Rogério Alves handling beats.
While their catalog isn't huge, 'O Rap do Frag Negativo' remains a notable early document in Brazilian hip-hop. It's the song people still mention when talking about the group.
