LA RECENSIONE

So, folks, after 2 and a half years of hibernation [reason: work], I return with the new gem from the Salvemini Rap aka Capa-Rezza.

I take back the hypothetical compositional end and impetus I had, indeed, because it was hypocritical.

Prisoner79 [or 709 or 079 or however you prefer... without the number] is a true resurrection of the dear "old friend from the past," but with grit and lacking in the use of fake/toy/cartoon/manga voices that were on the brink of the Teen-Bimbo orbit.

Hard verses alternating with pure self-irony like we haven't seen in Molfetta for 10 years, with a driving rock-blues background that's frightening [in a good way] and wonderful earthy choirs enlivening the bridge and more.

In three words, we regain dignity.

 "If you decide to try this work, I invite you to listen while reading the lyrics and keeping a dictionary and encyclopedia nearby."

 "The album is an autobiographical concept linked to the 'prison' that struck Caparezza in 2015, namely tinnitus, a decidedly annoying condition for a professional musician."
