High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Racionais MC's is a hip hop group based in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Mano Brown (Pedro Paulo Soares Pereira), Ice Blue (Paulo Eduardo Salvador), Edy Rock (Edvaldo Pereira Alves) and DJ KL Jay (Kleber Geraldo Lelis Simoes) formed the group in 1988. Each member hails from the ring of favelas (slums) around Sao Paulo locally called the periferia. Their lyrics combine themes of social justice with gangster imagery, a far cry from the idyllic breeziness typically associated with Brazilian music. Racionias MC's first appeared on the Zimbabwe label compilation Consciencia Black (Black Conscience) in 1988. Their songs Panico na Zona Sul ("Panic on the Southside") and Tempos Dificeis ("Hard Times") offer a snapshot of favela life with lyrics vividly depicting rampant police brutality, racism, poverty, and crime. The group released their first album, Holocausto Urbano (Urban Holocaust) in 1990.
