Sagacidade Stronda

Sagacidade Stronda formed in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro's Complexo do Alemão favela. The group includes MC 2Jhow, MC Menor MR, and MC Mastruz, though they keep their personal lives mostly private. They started out playing local block parties and recording with basic equipment.

In 2018, their track 'Ela Meche Comigo' caught on and spread quickly. That song, along with others like 'Caminhada' and 'Meu Bonde é Pesadão,' helped them reach a wider audience in Brazil and beyond. They've put out two albums, 'Melhor Que Nunca' in 2019 and 'O Mundo É Nosso' in 2021.

Some listeners have questioned the content in their lyrics, but the group has said they're writing about what they see around them. They've worked with artists like Anitta, J Balvin, and Karol G, though they still operate with a certain low-key approach.
