Italian hip-hop heavyweight thasup is the quintessential Gen Z rapper-cum-producer. Real name Davide Mattei, thasup started blending trap-affected EDM beats with pitch-shifted vocals in his teens. He then gathered the rap scene’s who’s-who for tracks like the jazzy “sw1n6o” with Salmo and the lyrically haunting "Dilemme" with his sister Mara Sattei and Lous and the Yakuza. Ever since his first hit as well as relentlessly paced numbers like “blun7 a swishland”, this enigmatic artist known for his trademark purple hoodie-wearing avatar has been putting the ‘it’ into Italian hip-hop.
