Underground hip-hop has a lot to fight against here in Brazil. There are a few places around Sao Paulo that put on weekly parties, but it’s just not the same experience listening to Madvillain in the same super-club that will host electro dance-punk parties for the rest of the week. Without something like Radio BoomShot, heads like me can get their fix anytime on locally produced tracks in the comfort of my own room, homemade caipirinha in hand. The online radio station has been streaming hip-hop shows since 2003 and is celebrating its hard-earned five year anniversary of bringing beats to Brazil. It’s a fruition that has resulted in what will become their most classic program to date, a 10-song look (take your pick on how you want your tracks: “ouca aqui” means “listen here” and “baixe aqui” means “download here”) at the guest sessions they’ve featured since the beginning, plus a free party in Sao Paulo this Sunday. Don’t sleep on the archive though—it features shows with guest DJs who are renowned names in the underground hip-hop scene. Use this inimitable resource to discover Brazilian MCs and more.
