New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Born in the favelas of Brazil - the suburban, tightly packed areas in which some of the poorest members of society live - Jailson N. Rodrigues aka Kaos MC had to make a choice: to follow his passion for music or live the street life. He chose music. The conditions of some parts of the favelas may be almost slum-like but it has never dented the spirit of the people living there.
With his latest single, What's Wrong, Kaos MC is giving back to the people who have supported him through his unlikely rise from the depths of poverty to the recording studio and working with legendary musicians Tito Jackson and Alex Boye.
"A pioneering new rap star from Brazil. Get ready for Kaos MC."
- Hype Magazine
Having founded the Lokos da Favela, a family movement that focuses on positivity in the favela, bringing the community together with rap music, Kaos has attracted the attention of Generation Hip Hop who have endorsed his work. Chaired by Ndaba Mandela (grandson of
Nelson Mandela), they have been quick to highlight the work Kaos MC have done for his underprivileged country-folk.
Terrence Barry Executive
Director of GHH Global said:
"Generation Hip-Hop supports the efforts of Kaos MC and Tito Jackson and are happy that head of Global Hip-Hop in Brazil, Miwa Kozuma, was involved in the forthcoming single video 'What's Wrong' collaborating with fellow Brazilian Kaos MC in this international project that will highlight how Rap music is benefiting the people, the favela and the artists of Brazil.
Highlighting the bigger picture of how Global Hip-Hop, like Kaos MC, uses Hip-Hop to help those in favelas all over the world live a better life, as well as empowering the artist through music and dance."
Working with international producer
Peter Doc B, who's considered something of a folk hero, producer Doc B is one of the few people from outside the country to live in the favelas where he made the choice to live amongst the locals and grow the rap scene in Brazil. Introducing Kaos to international artists, this has led to their new album titled "O Final Coence Bem", from which 'What's Wrong' is taken.
The single is a grinding RnB track with rap and soul elements, showcasing each of the collaborators' talents. With remixes from Princes personal DJ, Larry Peace, the top-selling Spin Sistas, Victor Lowdown, Stevie Eagle E, Lavonz and many more, the Brazilian rap scene is finally being given a long-overdue international stage...
