Rating: I will be brief. Frankie, as someone has already mentioned on the site, is cultured and refined, even in musical taste.
One eventually reaches an evolution of their sound, everyone goes through it, even in the Italian rap scene, it happens often: Articolo 31, Neffa, Caparezza, Flaminio Maphia, people who experiment, more or less well, and who in some cases abandon the mother sound. Frankie is among them.
He started as a protest rapper, not for nothing are his most famous songs "Fight Da Faida" and "Quelli Che Benpensano"; he attempted the path of cultured rap with "Ero Un Autarchico", according to some with success, according to others failing (I am among the latter), but with "Rapcital" Hi-Nrg he has outdone himself. He re-proposes the old tracks, with famous rock bases (example triumphantly presented by critics "I Trafficanti VS. Der Kommissar" on the base of "Der Kommissar" by Falko). Among the "experimented" tracks also the splendid (absolutely unmissable gem even in the old edition) "Tieni Giù Le Mani Da Caino", titled for Rapcital as "Tieni Giù Le Mani Da Lucignolo". Others to mention: "Quelli Che Ben Pensano", "Fight Da Seven Nation Army" (on the base of "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes, the original song is "Fight Da Faida"), "Potere Alla Parola", "Generazione Di Mostri" ("Vampiri"), "Accendimi" and others...
Despite the experiments, Frankie raps like when he started, making everything nostalgic and unique (TieniGiùLeManiDaCaino if you listen to it after reading "Caino&Abele" by Baudelaire, you cry). A sophisticated attempt by the rapper to make his message accessible to (almost) everyone: because I don't know if you're realizing it, but up there the "vampires" are seriously screwing us over, we've got to turn off the TV and give the right "Potere Alla Parola" back.
keep your hands off Cain, blood calls blood and you answer its call, you preach justice, then wallow in crime, sold-out referee who disposes of the life of his peer
"O race of Cain, climb to heaven and hurl God down to earth!"(Charles Baudelaire)
