Background notes
Archive material and source history
Young Squad formed in 2000 in the Grajaú neighborhood of São Paulo. They started by mixing funk carioca with bits of hip-hop and R&B, which gave them a sound that felt local and immediate. Their 2005 single "Sempre No Benz" caught on quickly, becoming something of an anthem in Brazil's funk scene.
Over the next several years, they put out albums like "Da Selva Pra Cidade" in 2006 and "Funk Real" in 2012. The group's lineup shifted at times, with core members Felipe de Andrade (MC Felipe) and Renan de Andrade (MC Renan) staying involved. Their music gradually absorbed touches of pop and trap, keeping pace with how the genre itself was changing.
Young Squad worked with artists like Ludmilla and Kevinho along the way, and they've faced some criticism for lyrics that some felt celebrated materialism. But for listeners in São Paulo's neighborhoods, their tracks often reflected the everyday pressures and aspirations around them.
