Realidade Cruel is a prominent group in the Brazilian hip-hop scene, known for their raw and visceral portrayals of life in the favelas, the marginalized communities that are often the battlegrounds of socio-economic hardships, violence, and inequality. They first made waves in the mid-1990s, with a sound and lyrical content that boldly tackled issues of social justice, crime, and the everyday struggles of the poor. Through their music, Realidade Cruel offers listeners not just entertainment, but a stark commentary on the issues facing Brazilian society, especially the plight of those living on the fringes.

Their discography is a testament to their enduring relevance in the hip-hop community, with recent releases like "Franco Atirador" and "Reflexões Momentâneas" further cementing their legacy as the voice of the streets. With tracks like "Só Sangue Bom, Pt.3" and "Em Meio A Tudo Isso A História Continua," both studio and live versions, the group continues to connect with fans through tales of survival, resilience, and resistance. The consistent thread in Realidade Cruel's music is their unwavering commitment to truth-telling and their ability to channel the collective experience of the marginalized into a powerful and poetic form of social critique.
