Straight outta favela: Brazil's new rap rhythm makes stars of 'gun-wielding gangsters' from Rio's slums who are now being targeted by police (even though their weapons and bling are fake)
Trap de cria is a new kind of hip hop, evoking gang life in Rio de Janeiro's sprawling, crime ridden favelas
Translated to 'homegrown trap', the music is largely unknown outside of Rio, but videos get millions of views
Featuring a lyrical flow over synthesised drums, it is an offshoot of Atlanta-style trap and speaks to the day-to-day struggles of hardscrabble hoods in Rio de Janeiro's Rocinha, one of Latin America's largest slums
