"It’s hard to tell anymore if the young Milanese rapper is riding the wave and capitalizing masterfully on his persona, or if he’s genuinely driven by noble sentiments of redemption."

Everything can be experienced in terms of swing because it is a lifestyle, an approach... light, amused, carefree, and in some ways irresistible. How the heck can you imagine words written by someone like Kurt Cobain being sung by someone in tailcoat and bowtie, performing it in a theater in front of a bunch of old, fur-draped, and bejeweled folks applauding?!
