Rome, September 14 (LaPresse) – A dinner between two great friends, overlooking the sea, the occasion is special: Rocco Hunt and Clementino choose the evocative setting of the Amalfi Coast for the trailer with which they announce on social media ‘The Album’ (Epic Records / Sony Music Italy), their first album together, out November 6th. Rocco Hunt and Clementino truly embody the soul of an entire cultural movement, that of the urban underground: two absolute icons, ready to write the definitive chapter of rap made in Campania. On one side, the Urban Poet, capable of blending the rawness of the street with a melodic sensibility with an international reach and the first rapper to win a Sanremo Festival; on the other, Iena White, an absolute pioneer who popularized dialect rap, taking it to the top of the national charts with his overflowing energy and unrivaled technical flow. Their friendship is rooted in a visceral connection to their homeland, a bond of respect and brotherhood that has strengthened over the years, starting with the first freestyle battle Rocco entered, where he found Clementino on the judging panel, who, in effect, discovered his talent and chose to collaborate with him. A profound hip-hop attitude that has paved the way for entire generations of artists, recognized even by legend Pino Daniele, who called them his “scoundrels.” Together, they have already gifted audiences with collaborations that have marked the evolution of the genre in Italy, starting with “O’ mar ‘e o’ sole,” a true milestone and a prelude to an unparalleled artistic chemistry. Today, that natural partnership evolves into a joint album that celebrates not only a genuine friendship, but the true triumph of Neapolitan and Campanian hip-hop culture.
Music: Rocco Hunt and Clementino announce their first joint album: out on 6 November
