Rodrigo Ogi isn't just an MC, he's a documentarian. On albums like 2009's punchy Crônicas da Cidade Cinza—its title a nod to the São Paulo rapper's chronicling of life in the "grey city" he calls home—he weaves social commentary into his playful boom-bap experiments. "A Vaga" finds him job-hunting and drinking coffee over a driving soul groove, and he operates around scorching samba guitars on "Faro de Gol". Meanwhile, "Hahaha" is a squelchy funk jam on which he punctuates machine-gun flows with good-natured laughter.
