Mc Duda Avlis

Mc Duda Avlis came up in Brazil's funk ostentação scene, a style that mixes funk rhythms with lyrics about luxury and street life. Their track "Esse Novinho É Louco" caught on in 2018, becoming one of those songs that just seemed to be everywhere for a while. It's got that simple, repetitive hook that works on dance floors and in cars.

They work as a trio with Duda Avlis out front, Adriano Boladão, and Tais Bonfim. Their music tends to be direct, tracks like "Iate" follow a similar template of beats and boasts. The lyrics have drawn criticism at times for how they depict certain aspects of life, though the group has generally shrugged that off as just telling it like it is where they're from.

They've put out a few albums since that first hit, including "Tô Ligado" in 2019 and "Do Meu Jeito" a couple years later. The sound doesn't wander too far from what worked initially, it's still that blend of funk, rap, and electronic production, aimed straight at the moment.
