Italian rapper Francesco Di Gesù, known as Frankie Hi-NRG MC, active since the early 1990s and recognized for politically engaged, literate lyrics and collaborations with artists across Italian music.

Debut album Verba Manent (1992) established Frankie as a protest/lyrical rapper. La morte dei miracoli (1997) sold over one hundred and fifty thousand copies (mentioned in reviews). He performed the song "Rivoluzione" at Sanremo (review mentions participation). Collaborators cited in reviews include Ice One, Paola Cortellesi, Riccardo Sinigallia, Roy Paci, Enrico Ruggeri, Ascanio Celestini, Giorgia and Samuele Bersani.

DeBaser reviews present Frankie Hi-NRG MC as an intellectually engaged Italian rapper, notable for political and socially aware lyrics. Critics praise several albums (Verba Manent, La morte dei miracoli, Ero un autarchico) and his lyricism. Reviewers highlight collaborations and occasional stylistic evolution toward broader audiences.

For:Fans of Italian hip-hop, listeners of political/lyrical rap, readers of DeBaser looking for thoughtful album reviews.

 La morte dei miracoli is indeed a disillusioned album, perhaps the most markedly hip-hop in the discography of Francesco Di Gesù (yes, that's his name).
