Brasília hip-hop

Furthermore, the current generation, from the year 2000 onwards, has many groups and MCs who are releasing their projects and creating new events to expand the hip-hop scene in Brazil's capital.

DJ Jamaika is one of the main pioneers responsible for elevating and spreading the hip-hop scene in the Distrito Federal (DF) area since 1993.

He demonstrated interest in hip-hop music when he participated in GOG's song "A quem possa interessar" from the Aviso às gerações album.

In 2007, she recorded a remix of the song "Véu da Noite", from the singer Céu, produced by KL Jay (Racionais MCs’ DJ and beatmaker).

Various events were created in Brasília to enhance the hip-hop culture, from the DaBomb parties to the 2010 battles called "Calango Pensante".

Calango Pensante [14] was created by MC Ahoto [15] (Jorge Pinho) to motivate the various MCs to battle in Conic [16] (a mall located in the center of Brasília).

There are prizes for the runner up and winner of the battle, such as the sum of the money given by each competing MC in the beginning of the event or concert tickets to a Brazilian hip-hop show.

He has a tagging crew called "Kaligrafia Mardita" and was nominated in the Graffiti best prize category in 2011 (Prêmio Hip Hop Zumbi – Edição Dandara).

Currently, he is one of the main representatives of Samambaia (neighborhood from Brasília) and has had several collaborations with other MCs, three of the most famous are: "Flowgados", the group "Movimento Plano Crew", and "Coletivação."

Prêmio Hip Hop Zumbi [18][19] was an event created in 2010 by ArtSam to make the hip-hop culture in Brasília even more powerful.

This event recognizes and values the many local talents of the DF state, which just happens to be the second biggest hip-hop scene in Brazil.

[20] New rappers and groups such as: Froid, TheGust MCs, Yuri Pleno, and ZKAR have shown some great potential in their songs.

This battle was created because of the need for MC gatherings to bring people together and help teach Brazilian kids about the hip-hop culture in general.

MC Zen, with the help of other rappers from the Distrito Federal (DF) region, created the Batalha do Museu (Battle of the Museum) event, held every Sunday at 4 pm, next to Brazil's National Library.

[27] Usually, the general themes used in battles vary and range from everyday topics to political and philosophical discussions, for instance: soccer or films.

The collective responsible for the project, which consists of around ten people, also carries out other activities, such as: workshops, lectures at schools and events, interventions of various types and other initiatives provided by the multidisciplinary nature of the relationships between those involved.

Battles usually take place outside the Northern Central Institute of Sciences (ICC Norte), with the promise of combining hip-hop culture with the university's academic area.
