This Monday (21), MC IG announced on his social networks the possible participants of the long-awaited "Let's Go 5" set. The big highlight was the confirmation of American rapper Travis Scott, marking his first collaboration with Brazilian funk. In addition to him, the project will feature the presence of important artists such as MC Ryan SP, MC PH, Manoel Gomes, DJ GBR, MC Hariel, Tuto and MC Poze do Rodo.
In an interview with Correio earlier this year, MC IG had already let Travis' name slip as a strong possibility for the set. “I think I can give a spoiler for Let's Go. Travis Scott is one of the most popular names for the project to grow in 2024”, revealed the MC.
ORIGIN OF THE "LET'S GO" PROJECT AND ITS SUCCESS IN BRAZIL< /b>
Created during the pandemic, the "Let's Go" project quickly stood out on the music scene. The idea came from the collaboration between MC IG, DJ GBR and MC Ryan SP, where each artist composed and recorded their part of the song separately, resulting in a unique montage with different melodies and styles. The fourth edition of the project reached the top of the charts on Spotify Brazil and remained in first place for consecutive weeks, consolidating its success.
With "Let's Go 5", MC IG seeks to repeat and expand this success, bringing for the first time an international star like Travis Scott, which promises to attract even more attention to Brazilian funk.
MC IG AND TRAVIS SCOTT: UNIÃO INTERNATIONAL FUNK AND RAP
MC IG is one of the main names in funk today, consolidating his career in 2023 with hits that took him to the top of the charts. The inclusion of Travis Scott, known worldwide for his innovative rap productions and striking performances, further raises the level of expectation surrounding "Let's Go 5".
Travis, by the way, has already shown sympathy for Brazil at other times. In August this year, during a closing show of his tour in the United States, the rapper took to the stage in Chicago wearing a Flamengo shirt from 1999, which generated great repercussion among Brazilian fans.

Samba lost one of its greatest references this Friday (8): Arlindo Cruz passed away at the age of 66 in Rio de Janeiro. Recognized for his vast work with 795 registered compositions, the samba singer marked generations with hits such as “Saudade Louca” and “Boto Meu Povo na Rua” . Born in Madureira, the birthplace of Rio samba, Arlindo was also a passionate Flamengo fan.
His retirement from the stage occurred after suffering a stroke in 2017, which impacted his career and health. Family members confirmed his death, without disclosing the official cause, but emphasized the artist's cultural legacy and his love for soccer, especially for the "Mais Querido" (Most Beloved). The wake will be open to the Rio de Janeiro community.
The son of Arlindão, who had meetings with samba artists like Candeia at home, Arlindo Cruz immersed himself in the musical world from an early age. At 17, he began his professional career as a cavaquinho player on Candeia's 1975 album "Roda de Samba." Over time, he became known for his mastery of the banjo, an instrument he helped popularize in samba and which became his trademark.
A central figure in the founding of the Cacique de Ramos samba circle, the musician rubbed shoulders with greats such as Zeca Pagodinho and Jorge Aragão. With Fundo de Quintal, a legendary samba group, he recorded 10 albums that helped cement the genre . From the 1990s onward, he developed a solo career with successful albums such as "Arlindinho" (1993) and important collaborations with producer Sombrinha.
Madureira, a neighborhood that forged its cultural and musical identity, was the setting for compositions that celebrated everyday life, street smarts, and the richness of Rio's samba. A strong connection to Flamengo was present in his daily life: Arlindo frequented the Maracanã stadium, participated in club events, and received tributes on special occasions , cementing his status as a Flamengo icon.

Singer Milton Nascimento and record label Sony Music filed a lawsuit against Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, alleging the improper use of the song "Clube da Esquina nº 2". The work, written by Milton, Lô Borges and Márcio Borges , was allegedly used without authorization in a video posted on the club's social media in January 2025, during the announcement of Gabigol's signing from Flamengo.
According to information published by the newspaper O Globo, the video was produced and released by Cruzeiro without the proper authorization of the artists involved in the song's creation . Sony Music , which represents the copyright of the work, is seeking compensation for material damages, while Milton Nascimento and the Borges brothers are seeking compensation for moral damages.
The court order stipulates a sum of R$50,000 for each of the songwriters involved . Despite the good relationship between the artist and the Minas Gerais club in the recent past, the lawsuit remains ongoing due to the dispute between the parties.
In 2022, after announcing his retirement from the stage at the age of 80, Milton Nascimento was honored by Cruzeiro at a concert held at the Mineirão stadium in Belo Horizonte. On the occasion, the singer received a personalized jersey from the team and a letter describing him as " Cruzeiro's international ambassador ."
The lawsuit highlights the importance of respecting copyright when using musical works, especially in advertising materials and highly visible social media content . Despite the history of tributes, the composers claim that the lack of formal consent for the use of the song violates their rights and compromises the recognition of the intellectual property involved.
