Zuzuka Poderosa, the fearless queen of baile funk, unleashes explosive heat on the “Carioca Bass EP”, produced in collaboration with global bass innovator Kush Arora. Rooted in Rio de Janeiro’s favela funk and shaped by diasporic sounds from the West Indies to Brooklyn, this project is a bold fusion of funk carioca, Miami bass, dub, and futuristic club music—delivered with Zuzuka’s signature swagger, activism, and raw vocal fire.

Standout track “Seda” dives deep into cannabis culture, with Zuzuka declaring:
“Fumaça que sobe, cheiro que fica / Essa erva é medicina, não complica”—a potent lyrical statement wrapped in thundering low-end and riddim-inspired textures. The Jubilee & Burt Fox remix of “Seda” ramps the energy even higher, transforming Zuzuka’s verses into a high-octane, dancefloor-ready anthem.

Another standout, “Psicodelia,” layers Miami bass beats with the gritty pulse of Brazilian street life, as Zuzuka flows effortlessly between hypnotic repetition and lyrical force:
“Psicodelia tropical, batida fatal / Favela no toque, no baile geral.”

On every track, Zuzuka flips the script—mixing club energy with sharp political edge and cultural pride. Whether she's spitting fire in Portuguese or commanding bodies on the dancefloor, the Carioca Bass EP is a powerful declaration of Brazilian funk futurism, unapologetic femininity, and international bass culture.
