Biography

Recayd Mob is a prominent Brazilian hip hop collective that emerged from São Paulo in 2016. Initially formed as a WhatsApp group for friends who shared a passion for music and attending parties, the collective evolved into a professional group comprising rappers, producers, and other artists. The name "Recayd" itself originated from a humorous incident where a friend was found drunk at a party, leading to a meme that stuck with the group.

Distinguished by their unique blend of trap music with Brazilian rhythms and slang, Recayd Mob has been instrumental in popularizing trap in Brazil. Their sound is characterized by hard-hitting beats, catchy melodies, and lyrics that often touch upon themes of daily life, aspirations, and the realities of their environment. They are known for "abrasileirar" the trap genre, infusing it with Brazilian funk elements and language, creating a distinct and relatable sound for their audience.

The collective has achieved significant success, with hits like "Plaqtudum" garnering over 100 million views on YouTube. Recayd Mob has not only influenced a new generation of Brazilian musicians to experiment with sounds but has also seen its members achieve individual success while maintaining the group's prominence.
