Câmbio Negro

Câmbio Negro is a Brazilian rap collective hailing from Ceilândia, a working-class suburb of Brasília, known for their unflinching social commentary and gritty portrayal of life in marginalized communities. Emerging in the late '90s/early 2000s as part of Brazil’s hip-hop resistance movement, they’ve built a reputation for raw, politically charged lyrics addressing racism, police violence, and systemic inequality. Tracks like "Sub-raça" and "Ceilândia Revanche do Guetto 2024" double as survival anthems and protest art, blending boom-bap beats with razor-sharp storytelling rooted in their hometown’s realities. Their 2024 releases show they’re still firing on all cylinders, using music as a weapon against oppression while staying deeply connected to their grassroots origins.
