The rapper is known for his impromptu rhymes, that made him one of the most respected MCs in Brazil. Regarded as one of the biggest revelations of underground hip hop in his country, Emicida accumulates thousands of hits on every battle in his YouTube page and about 900 thousand views on his MySpace page.[2]


Personal life


Leandro was born into a poor family. He composed rhymes and passed them to his friend to record and sell. His father died when Leandro was still a child, as told in the song "Ooorra ..." He is married to the presenter and podcaster of Um Milkshake Chamado Wanda - Marina Santa Helena.


Name


The name Emicida is a portmanteau of the words Emcee and homicide. Because of his frequent victories in the battles of improvisation, his friends began to say that Leandro was a "killer", who kills his opponents through rhymes. Later, the rapper turned it into an acronym for "Enquanto Minha Imaginação Compuser Insanidades, Domino a Arte" (rough translation, As long as my imagination composes insanities, I dominate the art).[3]


Career


Live performances are accompanied by the DJ instrumental in Nyack. The Emicida career began in the early 1990, where his parents organized black dances in the outskirts of São Paulo, and he began to use the equipment and write his first rhymes.[4]

Emicida is known for songs such as "Rua Augusta" and "Zica, Vai Lá". He composed tracks for the soundtrack of Rockstar Games' Max Payne 3[5]

His style is influenced by many Brazilian rappers as well as US names including Mos Def, Wu-Tang Clan and The Fugees [6]

His album AmarElo was considered one of the 25 best Brazilian albums of the second half of 2019 by the São Paulo Association of Art Critics.[7] His song "Levanta e Anda", featuring Rael, was featured in the FIFA 15 soundtrack, while "Bonjour", featuring Féfé was on the soundtrack of NBA 2K16.

His song "A Chapa É Quente!", also featuring Rael, was nominated for the 2017 Latin Grammy Award for Best Urban Song.[8] In 2021, his song with Ivete Sangalo "Mulheres Não Têm Que Chorar" was nominated for the same award in the Best Portuguese Language Song category.[9]

Leandro Roque de Oliveira (17 de agosto de 1985), más conocido con el nombre artístico Emicida, es un cantante y productor musical brasileño de rap y hip hop. Es considerado uno de los más grandes maestros de ceremonias de los últimos años.[1] El nombre "Emicida" es una fusión de las palabras "MC" y "homicida". Debido a sus frecuentes victorias en las batallas de improvisación, sus amigos empezaron a decir que Leandro era un "asesino" y que "mataba" a sus oponentes a través de las rimas.[2][3] Más tarde, el rapero también creó una connotación de la sigla para el nombre: E.M.I.C.I.D.A (Mientras Mi Imaginación Componga Locuras Dominaré el Arte).[3] Sus presentaciones en vivo son acompañados por DJ Nyack en los instrumentales.

Emicida, de son vrai nom Leandro Roque de Oliveira, né le 17 août 1985, à São Paulo, est un rappeur brésilien. Il est considéré par la presse de son pays comme l'un des meilleurs rappeurs de sa génération[2]. Son nom, Emicida, est un jeu de mots entre « MC » et du mot en portugais « homicida ». Constamment vainqueur lors de battles freestyle, ses amis considèrent Leandro comme un « meurtrier » qui « éradique » ses adversaires à coup de rimes[3],[4]. Plus tard, le rappeur se créera un acronyme de son nom, EMICIDA (Enquanto Minha Imaginação Compuser Insanidades Domino a Arte)[4]. Il est accompagné lors de ses performances par DJ Nyack pour l'instrumental.
