Racionais MCs are one of Brazil's first nationally popular rap groups. Emerging from the favelas of Sao Paulo's periphery their lyrics touch issues from the police's brutality to the Brazilian political system's racism. Their fan base comes primarily from Brazil's lower classes, in part because of the group's lyrical aggression towards the established elite.
Sabotagem was another Brazilian rapper from the favelas of Sao Paulo who passed away in 2003.
MV Bill is a Brazilian rapper from Rio de Janeiro. His
lyrics deal with many of the same social issues as Racionais MCs. In addition MV Bill has become a leading social
activist concerning urban violence in Brazil.
