Background notes
Archive material and source history
VH Rap came out of São Paulo's underground in 1989. Their music spoke directly to the realities of life in the favelas, with lyrics that didn't shy away from social issues. The song 'Realidade Alterada' from 1994 became particularly well-known for its stark portrayal of children living on the streets, which drew criticism from some conservative groups at the time.
They released several albums that built on this approach. 'Só as Cabeças' came out in 1993, followed by the 'Realidade Alterada' album the next year. Later records like 'Ensina Pra Mim' in 1997 and 'Voz Ativa' in 2002 continued in a similar vein, maintaining their focus on social commentary through Brazilian hip-hop.
