MC Gvs came out of Manguinhos, a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. The group is led by two MCs, GV and Gvs, who started rapping at local dance parties. Their 2010 track "Fiz a Boa" became a breakout hit, celebrating life in the favelas.
Their music mixes funk with rap and samba. Other songs like "Saúde e Progresso" and "Várias Naves" show their style. The group has released several albums, including "Aquecimento no Centro do Brasil" in 2011 and "Sintonia" in 2019.
MC Gvs includes DJ Rogerinho and DJ Lorinho alongside the two lead MCs. Their lyrics sometimes address social issues, which has drawn criticism from some quarters. The music found listeners beyond their own community.
