A rapper whose work from the early 2000s onward stayed direct about police violence and street life.
For his sound, start with 'Diretoria' and 'Espada No Dragão'. They frame that direct, rhythmic style he never really left behind.
His debut album 'Diretoria' in 2002 gave São Paulo's rap scene a blunt anthem about police violence. Songs like 'Espada No Dragão' and 'Desde Pivete' kept that unvarnished approach alive for years. Even his 2005 arrest after a show became part of a public debate on censorship, which he kept recording through.
He came up in São Paulo's rap scene in the early 2000s with 'Diretoria'. Records like 'Sintonia dos Sentidos' in 2006 and 'O Cinto' in 2010 followed, with lyrics that didn't soften. He was still putting out tracks like 'Pânico na Zona Sul' in 2014.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
