Mc Felipe Boladão

**MC Felipe Boladão** was a pioneering figure in Brazil's funk consciente movement, known for blending poetic lyricism with raw storytelling about life in the periphery. Born Felipe Wellington da Silva Cruz in 1989, he began his music career at 16 and quickly gained a following with tracks like *A Viagem* and *Voracidade*, which reflected his experiences in São Paulo's Baixada Santista region. His tragic death at 20 in 2010 cut short a rising career, but his legacy lives on through posthumous releases like *MUNDO MODERNO* and collaborations such as *BONDE DO TONY COUNTRY*. Fellow artists like MC Guimê and MC Daleste have paid tribute to his work, cementing his status as "O Poeta do Funk".

Though his catalog includes recent posthumous singles like *TOMA LÁ DÁ CÁ* (2022) and *MTG DOS RELIKIAS* (2024), Boladão’s music remains rooted in early 2000s funk, with themes of resilience and social commentary. His SoundCloud and Apple Music profiles continue to showcase tracks that resonate with fans of the genre.
