Background notes
Archive material and source history
Yuppie Hip Hop formed in Rio de Janeiro's favelas in the early 1990s, with MV Bill and DJ Hum using hip-hop to talk about what they saw around them. Their debut album 'Vida Bandida' came out in 1999, and its track 'Dama da Noite' became a point of recognition for the duo.
Their lyrics often addressed police violence and poverty, which sometimes brought them into conflict with authorities. The song 'Soldado da Paz' specifically criticized police actions and led to threats against the group.
Beyond music, they've worked with organizations like Amnesty International and the United Nations on social justice issues. Their albums include 'Filosofia de Rua,' 'Contra Corrente,' and 'Cálice.'
