A favela-raised MC whose aggressive flow and explicit lyrics document life in Brazil's impoverished communities.
For the unvarnished version, start with 'Mercenaria Quer Dinheiro.' If you want the later work, 'Decepção Ensina a Viver' shows how he's kept that same energy.
In 2017, 'Mercenaria Quer Dinheiro' brought him national recognition by resonating with listeners who recognized his unfiltered portrayal of favela realities. His music operates in that same space - tracks like 'Decepção Ensina a Viver' and 'Distancia de Deus' continue with catchy melodies wrapped around raw storytelling. Some praise the authenticity, others criticize the vulgarity, but he's maintained a following within the funk carioca scene.
He started performing at local parties in Rio's favelas as a teenager, his aggressive flow catching attention. The 2017 release of 'Mercenaria Quer Dinheiro' marked a shift to national recognition. Since then, he's faced arrests and criticism while continuing to release music that documents his environment.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
