Neffa

Musician

Italian singer, rapper and producer Giovanni Pellino, known as Neffa, emerged from the 1990s Italian hip‑hop scene and released influential records such as 107 Elementi and Neffa & I Messaggeri Della Dopa before moving into more melodic/pop and electronic phases.

Born Giovanni Pellino (1967). Former member of the hip‑hop group Sangue Misto.

DeBaser reviews praise Neffa's influential 1990s hip‑hop work (notably 107 Elementi and Neffa & I Messaggeri Della Dopa) and his production skills, while later pop/electronic records receive mixed to negative reactions. Critics highlight strong beats, funk/soul influences and standout tracks but often fault overproduced pop turns and uneven collaborations. The overall picture is of an artist revered for early contributions and producer skills, yet debated in his later melodic phase.

For:Fans of Italian hip‑hop and pop, music critics, listeners interested in artist evolution and production

 Twenty-six years. This is the interval of time that separates the release of Chicopisco, the last work by Neffa somewhat attributable to rap, from the publication of Canerandagio Part 1, the long-awaited return of Giovanni Pellino to the genre that made him famous in the nineties.

 A truly unique album, representing the pinnacle of evolution and the culmination of Rap produced in our country.

 The pinnacle of squalor, I believe, is reached with the insipid synth pop of "Per sognare ancora".
