Jerry Smith first broke into Brazil’s consciousness in 2016 as half of the duo MC Zaac & Jerry, when their song “Bumbum Granada” hit No. 1 on iTunes Brazil, thanks to its darting breakbeats and the pair’s throaty freestyle vocals, which embody the hugely popular funk carioca of the Rio region. “Kikadinha” is also typical favela funk, with its rapid drumming and Smith’s dashing vocals hinting that it could be from any time in Rio’s funk history. Meanwhile, “Vai Descendo” is thoroughly modern, as frantic synths provide the breaks around a stabbing bassline at the song’s core.
