MC Rafa Louis was a Brazilian funk artist from Rio de Janeiro's favelas. His music often reflected life in those communities, with songs like 'Criminosa' and 'Motel No Carro' becoming popular in the genre. He released several albums including 'Criminosa' in 2012, 'Tudo Passa' in 2014, and 'Só Pra Você' in 2017.
His lyrics sometimes drew criticism for their explicit content and depictions of favela life, though supporters saw them as honest portrayals of real experiences. He performed with a group that included DJ Naldo, MC Paulinho, and Bonde do Sapo, creating energetic live shows.
Rafa Louis died in 2019.
