Archive material and source history
C12 Rap formed in 1992 in São Paulo's Capão Redondo neighborhood, with Negão, DJ Hum, and MC Primo as founding members. Their debut album 'Sob o Asfalto tem Terra' came out in 1995, featuring tracks like 'Paulistanos' and 'Rap da Abolição.' The group's music often addressed social issues affecting urban communities in Brazil.
One of their most recognized songs is 'És Habib,' which became popular in Brazilian rap circles. Other tracks like 'Mal Estar' and 'Zion' also appeared in their catalog. Their sound incorporated Brazilian rhythms alongside hip-hop production handled by DJ Hum.
They released several albums including 'Nação Hip Hop' in 1997, 'Manifesto' in 2000, and 'Conexão Internacional' in 2005. The 2002 release '10 Anos de Estilo' marked a decade since their formation. Negão provided lead vocals and wrote lyrics that frequently engaged with social commentary.
