A Brazilian group that mixed hardcore punk with rap to document urban life in the 1990s and 2000s.
For a sense of their approach, 'O Terror Dessa Cidade' and 'Vitória Meu Amor' frame it well, one about the city's harsh realities, the other a more personal dedication.
They came from what their own bio calls a marginalized neighborhood, and their music never pretended otherwise. Songs like 'O Terror Dessa Cidade' portrayed a city facing violence head-on, which drew criticism but also gave their work a raw, specific gravity. That directness is what makes their catalog, including tracks like 'To Nem Aí (Versão Os Imbatíveis)', feel like a document of a particular time and place.
They formed in the 1990s, releasing albums like 'Rua Proibida' in 2000 and 'Cidade Violenta' in 2006. The group was built around a core that included an MC known as Terr, and their sound pulled from hardcore punk and rap to tackle themes of urban life.
