Verge Records founder Emmanuel Zunz has pulled together a sizzling compilation here, highlighting several of the label artists garnering buzz in the Rio scene. One of the best is Movimento Na Rua, led by lyricist and MC Samuca. The act's three tunes ("Soldados Nunca Mais," "Periferia de Jah" and "Realidade") dabble in everything from rock to reggae to drum'n'bass and hip-hop. Elsewhere, Gabriel Moura offers samba-jazz on "Brasis," A Filial crafts Riocentric rap on "Camila" and "Tremenda Calorera," and B'Negao and Os Seletores de Frequencia rap to a sambafunk beat on "V.V."  -PVV 07/21/07
