Trailblazing Brazilian rapper Marcelo D2 announces the release of new direct-to-disc album via Night Dreamer on 2nd November 2024.

 

Recorded alongside electrifying live band Sambadrive, the album revisits some of Marcelo D2’s most important tracks, mining 25 years of ground-breaking music from the Brazilian legend and capturing his now timeless ‘samba hip-hop’ sound in full flow.

 

A generational voice in Brazil who emerged in the mid-‘90s as founder of hip-hop group Planet Hemp, Marcelo D2 has achieved the charmed status of both household name and musical innovator, collaborating with the likes of the late great Sergio Mendes and esteemed producer will.i.am. Since the release of his debut solo album Eu Tiro É Onda in 1998, he has developed an instantly recognisable sound that skips between classic Brazilian groove and contemporary rap, guided by the motto ‘looking for the perfect beat’ which graces his second album À Procura da Batida Perfeita.
