The present article aims to investigate the intersectionality between Law and Music, demonstrating how this relationship can be instrumentalized in denouncing the social ills that afflict the working class and, more importantly, in the formation of a collective consciousness that enables this class to perceive its struggles and possibilities of resistance against the dynamics imposed by capitalism. The analysis focuses on the precarization of labor relations, driven by the advance of neoliberalism and policies that, historically, serve the interests of capital, fragmenting the working class and hindering its ability to organize. To this end, an analytical methodology, based on literature review, is employed to examine how Music, especially the work of the group Racionais MC's, can become a means of raising awareness and fostering resistance against precarization. The results indicate that Music can transcend its role as entertainment and establish itself as an effective tool for mobilizing the working class, providing a sense-making process that challenges the logic of capital and its exploitative practices.
