Marcelo D2, born Marcelo Maldonado Peixoto, started making music in Rio de Janeiro. He co-founded the hip-hop group Planet Hemp in 1993, and their debut album 'Usuário' mixed hip-hop with reggae and funk.
After leaving Planet Hemp around 2000, he went solo. His first solo album 'Eu Tiro é Onda' included the track 'Abre Coração,' which became popular in Brazil. Other songs like 'Estrela do meu clip' and 'Fogo No Corpo' show his style blending samba and rap.
He kept recording music, but the details of his later career aren't covered here.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
