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
