History

edit

The supergroup was created in 2015 as a product of the rising rap collectives in Belo Horizonte, best exemplified by the Duelo de MCs, which was a huge hit in the city. Many of the collective's members came from poorer communities in the north and east of the city.[1] Many of DV TRIBO's members were close friends prior to forming the group. They released their first single, Geração Elevada, in 2016.[2]

On 3 April 2018, DV TRIBO released a statement on social media that they would be taking an indefinite hiatus.[3] On 25 September 2022, however, all of the original members, save for Hot of Hot e Oreia, gave a show in Belo Horizonte, signaling a possible return of the group.[4]
