Review(s) observe Lazza's commercial success (Sirio was a top seller in 2022) and his background as a pianist. The writing notes maturation toward commercial rap and a stronger piano presence on the Concertos side. Criticisms focus on repetitive production and heavy use of auto-tune. Useful as a guide for older listeners confronting contemporary trap.

For:Listeners of contemporary Italian trap; older listeners curious about generational differences in music taste.
