Wakai T is a Brazilian rap and trap duo from São Paulo, formed by Tatiane Inagaki and Luca Amato. Their music draws from the city's streets, with Inagaki handling vocals and lyrics while Amato produces the beats. They put out tracks like 'Dia de Vilão' featuring Young Black and 'Não Dá Mais' that caught attention in Brazil's hip-hop circles.
Their 2020 single 'Dia de Vilão' became a breakout moment, connecting with listeners through its direct lyrics and driving rhythm. The song's reception highlighted how their work speaks to experiences in urban Brazil, though some critics questioned its themes. They followed it with releases including 'Coração de Vilão' in 2021, 'Véu' in 2022, and 'Armagedom' in 2023.
Inagaki and Amato started making music in São Paulo's neighborhoods, where they found an outlet for expression. Their songs often reflect life in those areas, with Inagaki's delivery and Amato's production creating a stark, rhythmic sound. While their music has sparked discussion about social issues in Brazil, they keep recording and putting out material that stays close to their roots.
