MC VN do B13 came up in the B13 neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, a place that shows up in his stage name. His track 'Crlh TÚ Conhece a Paola' features DJ LD de Nova Iguaçu and Jota, and it's the song people know him for. The music is Brazilian funk carioca, a style built on raw, direct lyrics and heavy beats.
He works as a solo artist but regularly teams up with other producers and MCs from the scene, like the collaborators on that track. The music doesn't shy away from explicit themes, which has been part of its appeal and its friction with mainstream outlets.
He's put out a number of singles and albums. Beyond the party anthems, some of his writing touches on the conditions in neighborhoods like the one he's from, though the music's energy usually comes first. It's a sound that's very much of its place, made for the streets and the parties there.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
