Editor's note

Jack Boris, Rio's funk-rap-samba collision

A Rio de Janeiro crew that mixed funk, rap, and samba into early-2000s street anthems.

For the hit, it's 'A Cera (Me Pirou o Cabeção) (part. Bolo).' For the vibe they sustained, try 'Vícios' or 'Por Onde Passa o Trem.'

They caught that specific moment when Rio's sounds were colliding in the early 2000s. The track 'A Cera (Me Pirou o Cabeção) (part. Bolo)' was the breakout, but songs like 'Vícios' and 'Por Onde Passa o Trem' show how they kept that energy going. It's a snapshot of a crew, Cera on vocals, Bolo on rap, Monkey Jim on bass, making something that felt both local and immediate.

They came out of Rio in the early 2000s with 'A Cera (Me Pirou o Cabeção) (part. Bolo)' as the hit. The albums 'A Cera,' 'A Revolta,' and 'O Baile da Cera' followed through the decade, with tracks like 'Bicho Doido' and 'Eu e Você' keeping their sound in rotation.

Jack Boris came out of Rio de Janeiro in the early 2000s, led by a singer who went by Cera. Their sound mixed funk, rap, and samba in a way that caught on quickly. The track 'A Cera (Me Pirou o Cabeção) (part. Bolo)' became a breakout hit for them.

The band didn't really back down from that. They put out albums like 'A Cera' in 2003, followed by 'A Revolta' and 'O Baile da Cera' later in the decade.

Other songs like 'Bicho Doido,' 'Eu e Você,' and 'Vícios' kept their presence going. The group included Bolo on rap and production, along with Monkey Jim on bass, Julio on drums, and DJ Pitu on turntables.
