Frankie Hi-NRG MC
La Morte dei Miracoli

THE REVIEW

Frankie in this album becomes commercial, meaning everyone hears him, everyone knows him, everyone will listen to him and remember him for "Quelli che Benpensano". Our friend today needs no further introduction, even though he has a glorious past with rap battles since 1990. This is indeed a great album where Frankie returns with his twisted, frictioned metric, simply full of words, intellectually superior to any pseudo-Italian rapper. If I had to compare him to someone really interesting, I would place him alongside Aesop Rock, firstly for his political commitment, especially in the early songs reminiscent of "Float"; secondly, for his unmistakable flow, you recognize him immediately once you hear him, just like his Def Jux colleague. "Giu Le Mani Da Caino" is a beautiful song, the skits are pleasant, but it is track number 8 that is the true masterpiece; "La Cattura" has a twisted beat full of scratches, a truly rare New York school masterpiece in Italian Rap.

Frankie is the best MC in everything but especially in lyrics, screw Bassi Maestro, step aside Fabri Fibra. Listen to it, it is a great snapshot of contemporary music created by one of the most creative minds in the circle. It is a splendid CD from start to finish. "Nudo, come un coleottero in cima a una forchetta aspetto ma il boia non ha fretta e intanto affila l'ascia, con l'angoscia che mi tiene sretto a se come una mantide gelosa del suo pasto...".
