Editor's note

MC Cabelinho, the voice from Cidade de Deus

A Brazilian funk artist whose tracks like 'X1' and 'CABARÉ' speak directly to favela life.

If you want to hear him at his most direct, try 'X1'. For the collaborative side of his sound, 'CABARÉ' with Orochi works.

In 2017, 'X1' broke through with millions of views by portraying street life in a way that drew both criticism and recognition. His music, including tracks like 'CABARÉ' with Orochi, comes from Cidade de Deus and features other Brazilian funk artists in the genre's collaborative style. It's not polished pop, it's the sound of a specific place, with verses that feel lived-in.

He started making music as a teenager in Cidade de Deus, with early lyrics rooted in that environment. After 'X1' gained wider attention in 2017, he followed with tracks like 'Né Segredo' and appeared on projects like 'Poesia Acústica #13'.

Archive material and source history

MC Cabelinho, born Vinícius Felipe de Lima Dantas in 1996, started making music as a teenager in Cidade de Deus, a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. His early work came out of that environment, with lyrics that spoke directly to life in the favelas.

In 2017, his track 'X1' broke through online, gathering millions of views and pushing him into wider recognition. The song's direct portrayal of street life drew some criticism, but it also connected with listeners who recognized its perspective. He followed that with other tracks like 'Né Segredo' and 'OUTRA DIMENSÃO', and appeared on the collaborative 'Poesia Acústica #13'.

His music often features other artists from the Brazilian funk scene. One example is 'ESSÊNCIA DE CRIA', which includes verses from Bielzin, TZ da Coronel, and MC Poze do Rodo. These collaborations are a common part of how the genre operates, building tracks through featured voices rather than solo performances.
