A Portuguese hip-hop crew that writes about real problems they see around them.
For a good sense of their range, listen to 'Mãos Ao Alto' and 'Big Poppa.' One's social commentary, the other's more straightforward hip-hop.
They started playing underground shows in Lisbon in 2006 and put out their first album 'A Vida É Bela' in 2009. That record included 'Mãos Ao Alto,' a track that got attention for how it talked about social inequality and police violence. They've also been involved in activism offstage, organizing anti-racism protests and supporting homeless shelters.
They formed with Sam The Kid and Kruella on vocals, Dj Cruzfader on turntables, and Menezes handling production. Later albums like 'No Ar' from 2011 and 'Onde Andará?' from 2017 kept their sound going, and they put out 'Tudo Isto É Fado' in 2021.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
