Ever since his 2013 breakout single—the political, piano-driven “Si scrive schiavitù si legge libertà”—Milan rapper/singer Fedez has been a constant presence on Italy's pop charts with songs such as a popular remix of Ariana Grande's “One Last Time”. With a deep and distinctive voice and rapid, relentless flows, Fedez packs his songs with tangents and observations about modern Italian life. Though his sound is often glossy, with Auto-Tuned hooks and reggae grooves, the artist born Federico Leonardo Lucia has stayed true to the social commentary of his self-released early albums.
