MC Gury is the stage name of Leandro Gomes da Silva, a Brazilian funk artist from Rio de Janeiro. His music often addresses social issues in the favelas, with songs like 'Esquema Louco' touching on police brutality. That track, along with others such as 'Atividade' and 'Brisa Perfeita,' helped establish his presence in the genre.
He worked with collaborators including MC L da Vinte on 'Parado No Bailão' and MC Dede on 'Palpites.' The group's lineup at various points featured DJ MT and MC Jhowzinho alongside Gury himself. Their recordings include albums titled 'O Rei da Putaria' and 'O Som do Gueto.'
Gury's lyrics sometimes drew criticism for explicit content and social commentary, which led to occasional censorship attempts. The music blends funk with hip-hop and rap elements, maintaining a straightforward rhythmic approach that connects with local audiences.
