Mc Tevez

Mc Tevez works in the Brazilian funk proibidão style, which tends toward explicit lyrics and driving beats. He came up in Rio de Janeiro's favelas in the late 2000s, and his 2012 single 'Chuva de Piroca' became a breakout track. Other songs like 'Pam Pam' and 'Agora Eu Tô De Chelsea' followed a similar pattern of raw, provocative delivery over heavy percussion.

He records and performs as a solo act, and his music has found an audience despite drawing criticism from authorities who've called his lyrics offensive. The sound is straightforward funk proibidão, fast, blunt, and built for the baile. There's not much polish or crossover ambition in tracks like 'Bonde De Kenner' or 'Calcinha de Lã'; they're made for the neighborhoods that first heard him.
