MT das Ruas

**MT das Ruas** (born Marcelo Tavares) is a São Paulo-based rapper and pillar of Brazil’s underground hip-hop scene. Known for his raw lyricism and unflinching social commentary, he’s spent decades amplifying the voices of marginalized communities through tracks like "Pena Que as Grades Não Podem Falar" and "Capital Sujeira." His music blends boom-bap beats with funk carioca influences, tackling themes like systemic inequality, street life, and resilience. Recent releases like "Dança do Malandro" and "Entre o Ódio e o Amor" showcase his knack for storytelling, balancing sharp critiques of Brazil’s political landscape with reflections on personal struggle. A collaborator with legends like Racionais MC’s, MT remains a gritty, grassroots icon who keeps hip-hop’s rebellious spirit alive in every bar.
