 "'Il Disco del Sole' is a small trinket in a sea of uselessness."

This review condemns Jovanotti's 'Il Disco Del Sole' as a tired, outdated collection of previously released summer singles with sparse new content. While a few tracks recall his former flair, most songs suffer from banal lyrics and lack originality.

 Despite some merits, Canerandagio Part 1 is a project that, in terms of intensity and consistency, is not comparable to Neffa's earlier works.

 Seeing Neffa on the Ariston stage and listening to his rap album was nonetheless a pleasant experience, an event that took me back to when, as a kid, I saw the video for 'Non tradire mai' on MTV Italia.

Neffa's Canerandagio Part 1 marks his return to rap after 26 years, generating high expectations among fans. The album features numerous collaborations with both old and new artists but doesn't fully match the intensity of his previous works. Production quality shines with standout beats, though some tracks falter. Overall, it's a respectable but uneven effort reflecting an artist revisiting his roots with mixed results. Listen to Neffa's Canerandagio Part 1 and explore the artist's heartfelt return to hip-hop.
