Leone Rap Maromba formed in São Paulo in 2008 around rappers Leo Maromba and Nego Neguin. Their songs like 'O Treino É Bruto' and 'Treino Pesado' became anthems in Brazil's hip-hop scene, with lyrics that spoke directly about social inequality and police violence.
They've released albums including 'O Mundo É Nosso' in 2011, 'Rap na Veia' in 2013, and 'Orgulho da Periferia' in 2015.
The group's lineup has included MC Cavalo and DJ PM alongside the founding members. Their 2017 album 'Não Vamos Parar' and 2019's 'Batalha dos Fortes' continued their pattern of hard-hitting tracks like 'Abre Espaço Amador' that resonate with listeners who recognize the realities they describe.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
