Retrô (feat. Derxan, LEALL, Btrem, Major RD e Big Bllakk)

The song 'Retrô' by Rock Danger, featuring Derxan, LEALL, Btrem, Major RD, and Big Bllakk, is a powerful narrative that delves into the harsh realities and resilient spirit of life in the favelas. Each verse is a testament to the struggles, aspirations, and defiance of individuals who navigate a world marked by violence, poverty, and systemic neglect.

Derxan opens the song with a stark contrast between the serene view of the beach and the menacing presence of the BOPE (Special Police Operations Battalion) in the favelas. His reference to God as a Black man and himself as the voice of the people underscores a deep connection to his community and a sense of divine justice. The imagery of crossing the Red Sea and being called Noah highlights the overwhelming challenges and the need for salvation amidst a sea of envy and greed.

LEALL's verse paints a vivid picture of his journey from walking barefoot in his neighborhood to riding in a silver SUV. He reflects on the violence and the legacy of survival passed down from his grandfather. The act of hiding money in a Bible he doesn't read symbolizes a complex relationship with faith and survival. His determination to leave a mark and rise above his circumstances, despite the skepticism and mockery of others, is palpable.

Btrem, Major RD, and Big Bllakk continue this narrative of resilience and defiance. Btrem's success is a direct challenge to those who doubted her, while Major RD emphasizes the seriousness of his craft and his role as a leader and motivator. Big Bllakk's verse is a testament to his journey from scarcity to self-sufficiency, highlighting the importance of perseverance and self-belief. Together, these artists create a rich tapestry of experiences that speak to the broader struggles and triumphs of marginalized communities.
