A few hours after the final, moreover, we had the opportunity to chat with the winner and with all three finalists of New scene 2between teachings brought home, expectations, the importance of the Calabrian dialect for Camilway And being original without being too attached to numbers and followers.

New scene 2, the first impressions of the finalists

We start immediately with the impressions regarding their path within the musical industry and how their participation in New scene 2 He changed their perspective on this.

Camilway He immediately underlines the importance that he had his participation in the show on the largest population – especially Calabrian – towards his music:

«Since the program ended The mentality of the people, especially over 50, has changed and I would never have expected it. When I went down to Crotone they told me thanks for what I did for my land, so maybe I'm doing something beautiful and positive in my life. This has given me new scene, I am still incredulous ».

Cut Instead it reflects more from an artistic point of view:

«The path for me is always the same because the music I made before new scene is the same. The program taught me, also for the methods, need and speed of reaching the first shot. It also helped me to simplify language, perhaps even too much, an added value compared to before ».

For Nax Instead it was a gym that helped him manage the stage anxiety and that allowed him for the first time to perform a large audience:

“For me it was one real gym in terms of live experience Because I, coming from the Aosta Valley, have never had the opportunity to perform live and get around “

«New scene gave me the opportunity to bring my music within a much wider context, to do above all Gavetta on an artistic and psychological levelhow to move on stage and how to manage anxiety, even if I have never had a stage anxiety because I have never tried it. I had to fight, it was a fight against myself. The fear of making mistakes is worse than anything else because if you can't fight expectations, the pressure throws you on the ground »

The teachings of new scene 2

All three finalists bring specific teachings to this experience, also thanks to the advice of the judges: Fabri Fibra, Geolier And Rose Villain.

Camilway: «COme advice I bring me behind that of bringing Italian to my pieces. Then I also discovered that I can sing, since I never tried, but I had the courage to do it in the final and in my opinion it went well. I can say I know how to sing and now I show it “

Cut: «More than a teaching or advice that has been given to me directly, it is a rear evaluation on everything: in the end doing what is competing is the best thing in any case. You don't have to think about television view just because you are on television, especially if you are a rapper. I did my music as I was doing it and this yielded it ».

Nax instead analyzes the advice received from Fabri Fibra:

«A advice that has been given to me is to not put so much fogue. I am a person who needs to vent his anger and I did it through music. I was so angry and I liked to get this thing to the listener, so somehow he identifies himself to me, I want that emotion that I am trying at that moment he also feels “

«Fabri Fibra had told me that I am charismatic, but that some words did not understand her because I ended up eating the words. This is a teaching that I will carry with me to be able to balance it well with my music. I go to a stage because I want to leave something, always, regardless of how it ends “

Camilway and the Calabrian dialect

Camilway The use of the Calabrian dialect in his texts and in his music has always been as a trademark. We ask him how he understood that he could be the right and winning way from a musical point of view to be able to express himself and if he could initially be a limit:

«I started writing in Calabrian as an ignorant person, not knowing how to write in Italian and also not knowing that people would then arrive in such a profound way. I didn't give up, I believed it so much. From me [in Calabria, ndr.] It's all a dream because we are not used to treading these stages and seeing all these things “

“Singing in Calabrian does not give me any problemIndeed, I see that people are likeding to people, I'm telling myself “Was the Neapolitan dialect understood, why can't the Calabrian one?”. This is my decision, always bringing the Calabrian, I will never leave him and as Fabri Fibra said, when I see that people lose me to resume Italian to make it clear what I am saying and then I come back with the dialect. I want to bring Calabria into people's heads“

«With Netflix I understood that There are no limitsalso because I arrived in the final. Even with people I spoke in dialect because there would be so much subtitles. My people appreciated why I was authenticI did not hide and brought the honor of my fellow villagers and the Calabrian ».

“He won rap”: Cuta's opinion

On social media and beyond, it can be read that a New scene 2 has “won rap”, as if Cut It really represented the new scene of the Italian hip hop. He is then asked how he feels to have such responsibility:

“I do this stuff because I like to rap. I am happy that all this has come and the reason why these things are given to me. In the end I am this and I will tell you more: in my opinion it is not only my way of approaching me to make music, but also my approach to television, which was a rap approach. I know almost just rapping and on this thing my friends often make fun of me because when I speak I always say nonsense, stuff on the f*ga or Christian claims »

«I am happy with everything, beyond how this thing has arrived: With a mentality from Underdog, I managed to take my space in a very different context than usual».

Nox and its artistic credibility

For Nax The time also comes to analyze the words of Fabri Fibra in the final, where he is told that he did not have to win because, unlike Cutthen winner of New scene 2did not represent rap.

Effectively, Nax It brings a mix of genres, whose matrix however always remains the rap one. He is therefore asked how much he does not actually have a rapper and how much rap he contributed to his artistic and personal training:

“I grew up listening to Eminem. Then we are talking about a context in which I am the only Moroccan who grew up in a village with all Italian and not open in Valle d'Aosta and Eminem represented me a lot: it was white in the middle of the black and I am black in the midst of whites. I had so much anger that I was pushed by the fact that he made people change the idea that he had made himself also thanks to music and I would also like to do this here to feel more accepted“

“Then in rap you have to bring a message and I bring that of pride. I come from poverty, I don't come here to act as a gangster but I go by seeking the credibility that in rap is important, I do not pretend victimism. However, when I carry credibility, you point my finger at me to take a situation of degradation. I brought mine, the emotions that at that moment I felt I brought, so in reality I am very happy with how it went, regardless of those who won because I am very grateful of the opportunity they gave me, I had no more hopes “

The most important value for a rapper

It closes with a question that has now become a worm in the head of all the aspiring emerging artists, in a now saturated musical market: what is the most important value for a rapper to survive, in fact, in this market.

Camilway opens up to a very intelligent and not obvious reflection:

“It is certainly not behind the followers because one day those followers may no longer be thereyou have to earn them. I make music because I like to let off steam, especially against people who do not calculate us, including politics and state. Then if people listen to me well, otherwise it does anything. I went to Netflix to make my voice listen to more people, otherwise it was no longer heard. I will always show off on my tracks, whether there are numbers or not, though I want to send positive messages Like those sent to Netflix ».

Closes Cutin line with the thought of his colleague:

«In my opinion, what is essential for an artist, however said by a person who essentially is not said that it will be, is the originality of style and in being. As Camilway says, being behind followers and numbers is one of the characteristics that you can ignore it, you make yourself original from the point of view of being. For an artist it is essential not to depend on the numbers To be quiet without depending on others to do their music “

“People think that the employer of the artists are the labels, but in reality it is the public. This thing if you do not manage it well, it can make you suffer a lot and that is why I speak of originality of style in telling and being. The market is saturated, it is no longer just a matter of skill and even when it is, there are a thousand artists as good as you, so you just have to be yourself».
