Rapper • Cantora • Compositora
The spicy verses coming from a female voice caught general attention on the the song “Mandume”, released by Emicida in 2015. That was Drik Barbosa, young rapper who developed her freestyling signature at Batalha do Santa Cruz, a famous rap battle held in Sao Paulo, the lair of contemporary brazilian rap (from where names like Rashid, Projota and Emicida came from).
Born in São Paulo, Drik (pronounces as Drika) writes since she was 14. By going beyond just rhymes, she was invited to feature and sing in a couple different rap choruses. On doing that, she has collaborated with artists like Flow MC, Amiri, Marcello Gugu, Projota and DJ Caique. In 2013, with Emicida, she was featured in the song “Aos Olhos de uma Criança”, from “O Menino e o Mundo” movie soundtrack – an animated feature movie by Alê Abreu.
In 2019, Drik just released her album called "Drik Barbosa".
In 2020, Drik reflected on how she could put her art at the service of the community. Then came the project "NÓS", which had as its starting point the release of the single "Sobre Nós" (with the participation of rapper Rashid). In addition to more songs, she prepares a fictional audionovela inspired by real stories.
