Career

The group’s first album, Verdadeiro Brasileiro, was released under challenging conditions and low budget, but laid a foundational identity for the collective. In 2005 they released the track Carro de Malandro, which became a turning point for their national recognition.

From there, the duo released multiple albums and singles that became staples in Brazilian rap, such as Insônia, Imprevisível, Nosso Plano and Conspiração (with Marília Mendonça)

As a producer, DuckJay has taken a central role in crafting the group’s sound, overseeing arrangements, beats and studio decisions. His work has extended to associate projects and regional artists within Brasília’s hip hop ecosystem.

Over the years, Tribo da Periferia has accumulated significant streaming numbers: on Spotify, the group maintains millions of monthly listeners. Their catalog includes studio albums such as Verdadeiro Brasileiro, Tudo Nosso, 1º Último, 2º Último, 3º Último, 4º Último, Híbrido and more.
