Rome, Apr. 24 (LaPresse) – Frankie Hi-Nrg Mc, one of the most authoritative voices and lyricists of Italian hip hop, returns with the new album 'Voce e batteria' (Materie Prime Circolari), out now everywhere. On the radio from today is the single 'Pedala e batteria' feat. Jovanotti. An essential and radical project that brings voice, rhythm and words back to the center, created together with some of the most important names in Italian music: Jovanotti, Fabri Fibra, Tiziano Ferro, Elisa, Emma, Diodato, Raiz and Lina Simons, with Donato Stolfi on drums and Dj Stile on scratches. For the occasion, Jovanotti in 'Pedala e batteria' and Fabri Fibra in 'Autodafé e batteria' deliver two unreleased verses, offering personal perspectives respectively on the theme of the bicycle and introspection, in perfect harmony with the narrative framework of the project. Conceived with the aim of putting lyrics and interpretation in the foreground, 'Voce e batteria' revisits some of the most representative tracks from Frankie Hi-Nrg Mc’s repertoire through arrangements reduced to the essentials, entrusted solely to drums. The result is a direct and powerful sound, which gives new depth to songs that have become classics of Italian rap, charging them with an energy that recalls the origins of hip hop. 'Voce e batteria' is also the title of the tour organized and produced by OTR Live which during spring and summer 2026 will bring Frankie Hi-Nrg Mc and Donato Stolfi to perform on stages across Italy, in an essential and unprecedented format that brings voice, rhythm and words back to the center, getting audiences at major festivals and outdoor venues dancing.
