About Racionais MC's

The most important hip-hop group in Brazilian history. Racionais MC's emerged from São Paulo's Zona Sul to deliver unflinching portraits of favela life, police violence, and racial inequality. Their 1997 album Sobrevivendo no Inferno is considered a masterpiece of Brazilian music.
