Sobrevivendo no Inferno

Sobrevivendo no Inferno (Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: [sobɾeviˈvẽdu nu ĩˈfɛʁnu], in English "Surviving in Hell") is the second studio album of the Brazilian hip-hop group Racionais MC's, released on 20 December 1997. The album was produced during a period of socio-political change in Brazil, as the country transitioned to neoliberal policies after decades of military dictatorship.

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