The original mix of Rap, Ska, Punk, Brazilian Music, Funk, Dub and Hardcore, with lyrics that portray the group's daily life and activism in the outskirts of South America's largest city - Säo Paulo - forms the unique identity of Asfixia Social, which brings all its strength mainly in poetry, street culture and a pulsating sound. Those who know the local underground scene probably have seen the guys arriving in an old bus full of graffitis and equipped with a truly independent Sound System, ready to deliver the message in public squares, nightclubs, schools, festivals, bars, cultural centers, occupations, favelas and at major events across all regions of the Brazil.

The sound and activism brought the group several awards in the area of music and culture, with highlight to the National Hip Hop Culture Award 2014 (Brazil's National Foundation of Arts) and the Special Jury Prize of the Xl Film Festival of Lorena 2015, with the film "The Sepulcher of the Black Cat". The band was also attraction of the 2015 Havana Biennial of Art (Cuba) and at the festivals River Rock 2017 (Indaial, Brazil), Rock na Estaqäo 2018 (Säo Carlos, Brazil), International Music Week 2018 of Säo Paulo (Brazil), Month of Hip Hop 2019 (Säo Paulo, Brazil), Paranapiacaba Winter Festival 2019 (Santo André, Brazil), Treibsand Freiland 2019 (Rochlitz, Germany), Rebellion Festival 2019 and 2022 (Blackpool, England), Punx Picnic 2022 (Brighton,
