Rome, 2nd Apr. (LaPresse) – Rocco Hunt returns to the recording scene with ‘Ragazzo di giù’ (Epic Records / Sony Music Italy) out on 25th April and available for pre-order from today in CD, autographed CD, marbled vinyl, autographed marbled vinyl and transparent vinyl formats. An album that combines the realism of urban rap with a modern and versatile sound aesthetic. In the new songs, including ‘Mille vote ancora’ presented at the Sanremo Festival 2025, raw and authentic lyrics alternate with more melodic and reflective pieces, whose lyrics explore themes that are central to the artist: life in working-class neighbourhoods, personal redemption, love, the sense of belonging and the ambitions of those who grow up in an often marginalised context. Rocco combines the story of the social reality of Southern Italy with a direct writing style, capable of speaking to different generations. Between Italian and Neapolitan, the use of the Neapolitan language is not just a stylistic choice, but an act of identity that reinforces the evocative power of his songs, making them immediately recognisable and authentic. Rocco Hunt, born on 21 November 1994 in Salerno, is today an established voice on the Italian music scene. With his unique style as an ‘urban poet’ he is able to talk about life in the suburbs and the desire to make it, as in the best tradition of rap culture, but also to make audiences of all ages dance and sing along to his hits that have become international successes. His more than 40 platinum records collected in Italy, Spain and France, where he also achieved a Diamond record, his multiple collaborations with Italian and international artists, his 3 million monthly listeners on Spotify and a repertoire that boasts over 2.5 billion total streams make him one of the most appreciated Italian artists on the Italian music scene and beyond.
