Inoki
Sentimento Reciproco

THE REVIEW

Rapper, writer, host of 2Thebeat, and finally a man, a man who has fought hard to reach these levels.

Inoki, also known as Fabiano Ballarin, after the successes of 5^ dan, newkingz, Fabiano detto Inoki, releases the new single "Sentimento reciproco" which definitely winks at the commercial side, a well-made video, nothing to complain about with the single except for the fact that the rhymes are certainly much more banal and at times don't fit at all; they are patches to cover gaps.

The beat composed by his DJs, Skizo-Shablo, isn't bad, dark and sad as in previous albums, same style… The technique and metrics used leave you puzzled, Inoki seems unable to keep up with the base tempo (I understand I'm being too technical, but forgive me). In fact, in certain parts, it sounds really off-key; it's the only bad thing, perhaps, because the rest of the single speaks, as always, about his life, making reference to his Crew "Newkingz", doesn't care about others, etc.… the usual street topics basically.

The chorus is beautiful, a good impact and also the voice is aggressive but never intrusive, he could have spared the phrase "here you won't find fake Rastas or clowns, and beat me up if I sing like Biagio Antonacci"… It reminds me of Fabri Fibra who mocks everyone… there's no reason to offend Biagio… oh well… Maybe the Major or maybe his desire to break through led him to say such nonsense..

All in all, apart from some banal rhymes, the single and the chorus are very beautiful, let's hope he doesn't become a joke over time!!!

Peace.
