Marcelo D2

Marcelo D2: Rio rapper, Planet Hemp co-founder, who fused samba and hip hop. À Procura da Batida Perfeita (2003), “Qual É?,” “Loadeando.”

Planet Hemp

Marcelo Maldonado Peixoto was born in Rio de Janeiro on November 5, 1967. In 1993 he co-founded Planet Hemp, whose mix of rap, hardcore and weed politics made them one of the most controversial bands of 90s Brazil.

Samba and hip hop

His solo debut Eu Tiro É Onda (1998) began folding samba into rap. À Procura da Batida Perfeita (2003), made with producer Mario Caldato Jr., finished the job: samba breaks, cuíca and pandeiro under boom bap drums, with “Qual É?” and “Loadeando” as the hits.

Later

An Acústico MTV (2004) and later albums kept that formula moving, and his son Stephan Peixoto, known as Stephan, raps as well.
