Marcelo D2 is the leader and vocalist from rap-rock
band ‘Planet Hemp’ that have sold over 900,000
units in Brazil. ‘A Procurada da Batida Perfeita’ is
the long waited second solo album from MD2, the
first album "Eu Tiro É Onda" has sold over 100,000
units.
As Marcelo says, the object was to make an album
for Posterity (‘Pra Posteridade’). In particualr the
track ‘Loadeando?’ which claims “Eu me desenvolvo
e evoluo com meu filho...” (I´m growing up with my
son...) is sung with his own son Stephan, already
fulfills this objective. Exciting. Beautiful. Emotive.
This is Marcelo. A dedicated father, a loyal friend.
In the music of ‘À Procura da Batida Perfeita’
(Looking For the Perfect Beat) Marcelo D2 goes
deeper than in his first album ‘Eu tiro Onda’. In his
search for the perfect mix of samba with hip hop, it
seems that in his first album D2 found the way and
wrote down how to get there. With his second
album ‘A Procura da Batida Perfeita’ he has really
arrived. Listening to the album, it seems that this
hip hop has come from the samba and not from the
DJs and the Reggaemen of Jamaica. Brazilian hip
hop is assuming a proper identity. Marcelo D2 is a
master of this genre, a real artist, born and created
in the Brazilian way.
