Not all musicians can blend socially impacting lyrics into club-ready tracks. But MC Carol does it admirably, using her raw delivery to discuss sex positivity, racism and poverty over rattling baile funk beats. The feminist rapper's breakthrough hit, "Bateu uma Onda Forte", is a vibrant, sample-heavy track perfect for Carnaval. Her debut album Bandida is just as energetic, featuring a collaboration with baile star Leo Justi and Brazilian female rapper Karol Conka on "100% Feminista", a call-to-action that encapsulates both her firm stance on social justice and her fiery, beat-driven sound.
