MC Jordim – Funkeiro
« People will sing about us after this. I’ll make sure I’m one of them. »
Jordim’s tracks are banned from three radio stations and played at every baile in the North Zone of Rio. He grew up at those all-night parties, where the speaker stacks tower over the houses and the lights cut out whenever someone trips a cable, so fighting in the dark doesn’t bother him. He has never met a crowd he couldn’t get moving, and the dead are no exception. His next video was set to shoot the day after Carnaval, with a gold rifle as the centerpiece. The prop never arrived, so he found a real rifle and a can of gold spray paint. He calls his survival luck. His mom, whose tattoo sits over his heart, calls it her prayers.
