Archive material and source history
MC Tokão is the stage name of William Ribeiro dos Santos, a Brazilian funk artist from Rio de Janeiro. He first gained attention in 2012 with the song "Hoje Eu Vou Acelerar," which became popular at local parties and gatherings in the city's favelas.
His music typically combines funk carioca rhythms with hip-hop and pop elements, resulting in an energetic sound meant for dancing. Beyond "Hoje Eu Vou Acelerar," he has released other singles like "Tapa na Racha," "Vai Embrazando," and "Chama as Amigas." He has worked with artists such as Anitta, KondZilla, and Ludmilla.
Some of his lyrics have drawn criticism for explicit content and references to violence, which Tokão has said reflect life in Brazilian favelas. In 2016, he faced legal charges related to his music, but the case was later dismissed.
