In 2022, MD Chefe was one of the attractions at Rock in Rio, in the Favela Space. With tracks like Rei Lacoste and Tiffany, the artist won fans throughout the country, establishing himself as one of the leading names of the new generation of rap.
In 2024, MD Chefe released his third album, “Garbo e Elegância,” a collaborative project with renowned producer Papatinho. Available since April 10th, the album
