Brazil's jazz and rock legends transformed uniquely American sounds with a dose of fiercely local style. Keeping that spirit of homegrown experimentation alive, hip-hop crews like 3030 and Haikaiss kick their soulful rhymes over a distinctive blend of live-band jamming and computer-enhanced beats, bringing classic Brazilian sounds like samba and Tropicália into the hip-hop mix. And even when looking beyond their country's traditions, innovators like 1Kilo still want to push hip-hop into unexpected places, dropping trap's double-time bars over downcast emo riffing.
