The Profile

99 Posse are a Naples-based political hip hop collective formed in 1991, fusing rap with reggae, dub and electronics, often in Neapolitan dialect. Notable releases include Curre curre guaglió, Cerco tiempo, Corto circuito, La vida que vendrà and the live/remix set NA 99 10°. They split in 2005 and returned to activity from 2009.

Core members include Luca “’O Zulù” Persico, Maria “Meg” Di Donna and producer Marco Messina. The group is closely linked to Naples’ social center culture and is openly left-wing.

Five reviews trace 99 Posse’s arc from the Bisca-era live snapshots to heavyweight studio peaks. Cerco tiempo and Corto circuito earn strong praise for sound design, Meg’s vocals and O’Zulù’s flow, while politics remain central and divisive. NA 99 10° is valued as a punchier live/remix comp. Overall tone: appreciative, with occasional criticism of coherence and persona.
