Rapública is the first compilation of Portuguese rap music released in 1994. It features Black Company, Boss AC, Family, Funky D, Líderes da Nova Mensagem, New Tribe and Zona Dread. The album was a pivotal moment in Portuguese music, marking the transition of rap and hip hop from underground movements to mainstream recognition, particularly with the radio hit "Nadar" by Black Company. In 2022, the album was reissued in vinyl. The album reflects the cultural shifts in Portugal following the Carnation Revolution and decolonization, as well as the growing influence of African immigrant communities. With its diverse styles and bold social commentary, Rapública introduced the genre to a wider audience, helping to establish Portuguese rap as a legitimate cultural force.
