Rodrigo Cerqueira de Souza Machado Vieira (born 1981), better known by his stage name MC Marechal or simply Marechal, is a Brazilian rapper and composer. He is considered to be a pioneer in the Brazilian Underground Hip Hop genre, being a founding member of the group Quinto Andar.[1][2][3]
Marechal began his career in Rap battles in 1998, in which he stood out. Afterwards, he joined the now extinct group Quinto Andar in 1999, along with artists such as De Leve and Shawlin. However, he was the first to leave the group to pursue a solo career. He recorded with Marcelo D2 and Fernandinho Beatbox the song "Loadeando", which reached national prominence.
Marechal has several affiliations with MCs, such as MC Gutierrez, Marcelo D2, Rashid, among others.[citation needed]
Emicida released his EP "Sua Mina Ouve Meu Rap Tambem", which alludes to lyrics written by Marechal where he disses rapper Cabal.
Marechal is known for frequently using the phrase Um Só Caminho, which is one of his ideologies. Furthermore, Marechal is also a music producer.[4]
