Simply rap. In an increasingly crowded record industry, where everyone is looking for their own identity in the views and then surprising yourself in crisis, looking for the introspective disc and opening up to pop, Guè returns for the umpteenth time – between album and featuring now has a monstrous discography – with a handmade product, well -kept in the bases and writing, in pairs with the rapper Rasty Kilo, class underdog of the scene, the style of the surface. Romano, Noyz Narcos.
Kg It is a joint album, a street album, but it is above all the proof that in Italy there is a rap beyond fashions, a game without tricks made with passion and talent. Cosimo Fini's is a very American idea of making music, that someone here in the songwriter peninsula struggles to understand: doing good rap does not mean having things to say – the famous message as chased as trivialized then in practice – but to tell them well, in time, with a solid flow, of the spotlight, a little healthy braggart (most of the time ironic and non -rhetoric) Director of genre films. And almost always the genre is the policeman, guards and thieves, Hustler, Dealer, gangster, full of quotes-cinematographic and street-and self-cits, from the clubs to the classic Golden boy resumed in one of the best pieces of the disc, Kg Anthem. The rhymes seem almost a gymnastic movement and their scrolling on the base an athletic test, but it should not be fooled: it is not an exercise in style, but the exercise of the style.
In recent weeks Guè had ended up in one of the social controversies for having disappeared Elio, guilty of having said that rap is not music, reproaching him to make “the judge of a program that is a stupid” and in general that “we are the only country that does not know a fucking rap”. Here, this album – the second of 2025 later Tropic of Capricorn – It is the rhyming response to all the detractors of the genre, reactionary rockers and boomers incact that the hip hop culture in Italy is more alive and rooted than ever, far from fashion youth, indeed – as the featuring not demonstrate not up to those who host them, from Tony Boy and Tony Effe to a very black serpe – increasingly fruit of experience and mature attitude.
It is testimony to it Dedicateda classic tribute to its cultural pantheon, in which the presence of another veteran like Noyz Narcos adds quality and not just followers. The same happens for the host of Terron Fabio of the legendary South Sound System in You can't have it. Like wine, or rather the “Champo” to remain in the very pimparous theme of the disc revealed from the cover, the rappers also improve over time, refining the style and coloring their imagination with new nuances. Then there is the Perenna challenge with colleagues to those who do it better, as per rap instruction booklet, and Guè drags the partner Rasty Kilo, for too long in the shade, among the numbers one.
To those who have been asking him for some time when Mr. Fini will make the disc of maturity, he seems to respond by putting maturity in each bar, first, now and for the next records, who knows how many still in 2025.
