After the sold-out hat-trick at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, Emanuele Palumbo, aka Geolier (the pseudonym derives from the French word «geôlier» or «secondino», commonly used to define those born and living in the Secondigliano neighborhood) temporarily leaves his Naples to perform in the rest of Italy. There are many events around the country, including the highly anticipated one of yesterday, july 6thin the new concert space of Fiera Milano, where the Neapolitan rapper celebrated his record-breaking 2024.
The year, in fact, opened with the artist's first participation in the Sanremo Festival, where he presented the song «I p' me, tu p' te». The piece, written by Geolier himself together with Paolo Antonacci and Davide Simonetta, ended its run in second place thanks to the many votes received from fans, which made it become triple platinum in just over three months.
After the Ligurian interlude, the singer returned to the recording studio and created his third studio album: «Dio lo sa», released at the beginning of June. Composed of 21 tracks, which see the presence of several important guests (from Lazza to Sfera Ebbasta, passing through Guè, Ultimo and Shiva), the album debuted at the top of the FIMI charts, tripling the number of physical copies sold of the previous «Il coraggio dei bambini». Here Geolier wanted to raise the bar of production, involving – in addition to the faithful Dat Boi Dee and Poison Beatz – also international names and young professionals who are making their way in Italy and abroad.
