Editor's note

Os Wilsos, Brazil's provocative rap-funk crew

A 1990s group that mixed faith, funk, and controversy in equal measure.

For their sound, try 'Eu Também Quero Beijar'. For the controversy that defined them, it's hard to look past 'Rap do Jesus'.

They weren't just making party music. 'Rap do Jesus' from 1998 depicted Christ as a hip-hop artist, which sparked blasphemy accusations and legal trouble in Brazil. Tracks like 'Estou Amando Armando' and 'Balada É Coisa de Bicha' kept pushing buttons with lyrics that challenged norms, making them a genuine cultural flashpoint.

They formed in the 1990s with Wilson Simonal Júnior and Dudu Nobre among the members. Albums like 'Do Coração para o Mundo' in 1995 and 'Rap do Jesus' in 1998 established their rap-funk-pop blend. They kept releasing music into the 2000s, including a live album in 2001 and 'Nova Fase' in 2009.

Other tracks like 'Estou Amando Armando' and 'Balada É Coisa de Bicha' show their provocative style, with lyrics that sparked debate about societal norms.

Despite the controversies, their music found an audience in Brazil.
