Marracash

[6] After graduating as an electronical technician, Rizzo recorded his first verses under the pseudonym Yuza delle Nuvole, appearing in Prodigio's 1999 demo "The Royal Rumble", alongside Il Guercio, Fame, Aken and Corvo D'Argento.

[7] In 2005, under the Contagion Area label, Marracash published "Popolare", a single product by Don Joe made available for free download for network users.

[12] In 2009, he participated together with 55 other Italian singers in the realization of "Domani 21/04.2009", a musical track published in a charitable way to remember the victims affected by the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake.

[2][18] On 22 December, Marracash conducts the first episode of MTV Spit, a television program focused on the rap battle between artists of the underground scene.

[31] On 17 November 2021, Marracash surprisingly announced on Instagram his seventh studio album Noi, loro, gli altri (Us, Them, The Others), which was released two days later.

[34] He takes inspiration from American artists such as Jay-Z, Drake, Kanye West, DJ Khaled, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Wu-Tang Clan.

He then describes his feelings and the way he analyzes the situations he reports in the texts: "I exercise a constant self-consciousness that leads me to experience emotions very intensely.

[...] But each time I tend to pull the rope a bit to its extreme and it is perhaps also a way to feel alive, a search for adrenaline, because in the end I detach myself enough to find them stronger than before.

Marracash's response came in 2008 with the song "Dritto al punto", in which he reversed the quotations made by the opposing rapper, who replied with "Riot", closing the debate.

[37] On 14 January 2017, six months after the publication of Santeria, Marracash and Gué Pequeno gave an interview to Corriere della Sera, in which they commented on the musical style adopted by their colleagues Fedez and J-Ax, at the time close to the publication of Comunisti col Rolex, criticizing the artists and accusing them of masking their intent to make numbers and money with false intentions.
