Rodrigo Ogi steps away from the mic as beatmaker Loopcínio Rodrigo
Brazilian rapper Rodrigo Ogi released “Loopcínio Rodrigo, Vol. 1” on September 16, his first album credited entirely as a beatmaker, with 16 MCs from six Brazilian states rapping over his sample-based production. In an interview with Billboard Brasil he describes months of near-daily beatmaking, a habit that goes back to Fruity Loops in the early 2000s, and the cost of a sample that was exposed and claimed by a label. A second volume is due this year and a solo album produced by his new alias is planned for 2027.
