Editor's note

Mano Ála Rapper, São Paulo's late-90s rap collective

A rap group from São Paulo's favelas whose lyrics spoke directly about police brutality and neighborhood life.

For their raw neighborhood perspective, start with 'Lixo Na Lixeira'. 'Anos 90' shows how they kept that voice alive.

Mano Ála Rapper gave voice to specific frustrations in São Paulo's favelas when few others were. Their song 'Lixo Na Lixeira' became a street anthem, capturing that feeling of neglect and corruption. They kept recording through pushback from authorities, staying grounded in their neighborhood perspective with tracks like 'Anos 90'.

The collective came up in the late 1990s, led by MCs Graveto and Negro Rico. Their debut album 'De Volta ao Lar' and songs like 'Politizado' dealt directly with police brutality and drug abuse. They kept putting out music that stayed true to their São Paulo roots.
