Papatinho is a go-to producer for unexpected, rap-centric jams from Brazil and beyond. Early releases with his hip-hop crew ConeCrewDiretoria stand out with stuttering, pitch-bending bops that sample the likes of Nina Simone. Since then, his strutting grooves—juggling baile funk, samba and R&B—have propelled high-flying collabs with pop megastar Anitta and beat explorers the Black Eyed Peas.
