MC Doguinha is the stage name of Marcelo Costa de Souza, a Brazilian funk artist from Rio de Janeiro. His breakout track 'Vem e Brota Aqui Na Base' came out in 2018 and helped establish his sound, which pulls from funk carioca, hip-hop, and trap. Other songs like 'Viciei Na Sua Sentada' and 'Ô Pretinha' show his focus on raw, energetic production and lyrics that touch on love and life in the favelas.
Despite that, his straightforward approach to writing about inequality and everyday struggles has connected with a wide audience in Brazil.
Doguinha has worked with collaborators including DJ Guga, MC Davi, MC Kevinho, and MC Menor MR, and has recorded with bigger names like Anitta, Ludmilla, and Thiaguinho. He keeps putting out tracks that stick to the gritty, percussive style that first got people's attention.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
