This article analyzes the album Novo Testamento (2025) by the rapper Ajuliacosta, aiming to understand how its lyrics articulate narratives about gender, sexuality, the body, and the experiences of Black women, contributing to the production of social memories. The study adopts a qualitative approach and is grounded in Discourse Analysis, drawing on the theoretical contributions of Orlandi, Foucault, Gonzalez, and Martins. As an analytical framework, the concept of oralitura is employed, understanding the body, voice, and performance as spaces for the inscription and transmission of knowledge. The findings show that the album functions as an infomemorial device, transforming individual and collective experiences into narratives of resistance, self-affirmation, and knowledge production. It is concluded that Novo Testamento expands the visibility of historically marginalized experiences, configuring itself as a space for the production, circulation, and preservation of information about the experiences of Black women in Brazilian rap.
