MC Roginho

MC Roginho, born Rogério Cordeiro de Oliveira, came up in Rio de Janeiro's Complexo do Alemão neighborhood. He put out his first single, 'Vai Menina,' in 2014, but it was the 2016 track 'Preta do Cabelo Cacheado' with TH CDM that really broke through.

That song, which celebrated a dark-skinned woman with curly hair, became a major hit in Brazil. It also sparked debate, with some praising its positive portrayal and others criticizing it for objectification. The track's success was undeniable, but the conversation around it stuck with him.

His music, like 'Dei Fuga' and 'Bebendo Pra Te Esquecer,' tends to ride on energetic funk beats and catchy melodies. He's worked with other artists in the scene, including TH CDM and Ludmilla, often touching on themes from the neighborhoods he knows.
