X HOMIE is a Brazilian funk band that started in Rio de Janeiro in the late 1990s. Their song "Vou Lé Dá" became a hit and brought them wider attention. The group released five studio albums between 2000 and 2010, including self-titled work and records named after songs like "Na Sua Cara" and "Sexto Sentido."
Early on, their lyrics about sexuality and social issues drew criticism from conservative groups and religious authorities. Performances sometimes faced protests or censorship attempts. The band's original lineup included MC Neguinho do Kaxeta and MC Marcinho on vocals, with DJ Felipe and DJ Batata handling turntables. Over time, members like MC Guimê, MC Koringa, and MC Lidoka joined at different points.
Their music found an audience in baile funk circles and beyond, with tracks like "Conquista" becoming popular. The sound shifted from rougher early recordings toward something more polished. While they've been a presence in Brazilian pop culture, appearing in films and TV, the band's story is mostly about making funk that connected despite the pushback.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
