Mauro Mateus dos Santos (April 3, 1973 – January 24, 2003), better known by his stage name Sabotage, was a Brazilian MC.
Early life
He grew up selling drugs in São Paulo’s South Zone. He gained fame in 2001 after the release of his first and only album titled Rap È Compromisso.[1][2] He was performed on other artists' recordings, such as Sepultura's Revolusongs EP, a cover of Public Enemy's "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos", which was released in 2002. That same year, he appeared as himself in the Brazilian film The Trespasser (O Invasor) and contributed to the soundtrack. This was followed soon after by an acting role, in the part of Fuinha in Carandiru.
In 2003, Sabotage died after being shot four times, in the head and chest. No arrest was made and, despite the nature of the attack, no connection was established between his drug peddling and his violent death.[1][3]
