Detentos do Rap is a significant name in the Brazilian hip-hop scene, known for their raw and authentic portrayal of life in São Paulo's marginalized communities. The group emerged in the early 1990s and has since carved a niche for themselves with their gritty narratives and hard-hitting beats. Their music often delves into the harsh realities of life within the Brazilian penal system—hence their name, which translates to 'Prisoners of Rap'—and the social and economic struggles faced by those in the favelas.

With tracks like "Seu Pesadelo Continua" and "Das Margens," Detentos do Rap unflinchingly depict the cycles of violence and desperation that are commonplace in society's underbelly. Songs such as "Eternamente" showcase their ability to bring an emotional depth to their music, touching on themes of resilience and hope amidst adversity. Over the years, the group has remained an influential voice in Brazilian music, utilizing their platform to advocate for social justice and reform while fostering a strong connection with their fanbase through authentic storytelling and an undeniably passionate performance style, exemplified in live recordings like "Ao Vivo."
