Sobrevivendo no Inferno

Sobrevivendo no Inferno is the second studio album of the Brazilian hip-hop group Racionais MC's, released on 20 December 1997.

Its musical style blends influences from funk, Black music, and Brazilian traditions, with production incorporating samples from various genres. The album centers on the experiences of systemic issues like institutional racism, police violence, and social inequality faced by Black and marginalized communities in the country's favelas. Sobrevivendo no Inferno received critical acclaim and achieved commercial success, becoming the best-selling rap album in Brazil.
