Rico Dalasam: Gay, Black and Talented Rapper

Rico often incorporates social issues and self acceptance in his music.

‘Rap gave me the words’ he says, ‘words of strength, of resistance, of confrontation, of rebellion’.

His song ‘Fogo em Mim’ (Fire on Me) has over 3M views on YouTube. In the video clip, you can see the singer wearing long hair, makeup, jewelry and a tracksuit - and we’re loving it!

His song ‘Procure’ has also inspired a short film, ‘Chercher’, about a young man forced to live with regrets after betraying his lover. You can find the film, along with other songs from Rico, down below!
