Marracash
Marracash (* 22. May 1979 in Nicosia , Sicily , as Fabio Rizzo Bartolo ) is an Italian rapper and music producer .
Career
Born in Sicily, Rizzo grew up in Milan's Barona district, where his parents moved to work. At the age of 18 he made his first steps in the Milan hip-hop scene, choosing Marracash (referring to Marrakech ) as his stage name because of its southern appearance. Eventually he became part of the rap collective Dogo Gang . In this environment he also began to work with the three members of Club Dogo (like him part of the collective): In 2004 he was involved in the mixtape PMC Vs Club Dogo (with the Porzione Massiccia crew ), then onRegular (with Don Joe and Grand Agent ) as well as to Hashishinz Sound vol. 1 ( Guè Pequeno and Deleterio ).
In 2005 Marracash released his first single Popolare on the independent label Area , which was again produced by Don Joe. This was followed by the mixtape Roccia Music vol. 1 , on which he again worked with a number of rappers from his environment. In 2007 he was heard on Struggle Music by Frank Siciliano and DJ Shocca .
Marracash's breakthrough came in 2008 with a record deal with Universal . The self-titled debut album was preceded by the single Badabum Cha Cha . He remained loyal to the collective, Don Joe and Deleterio acted as producers and beatmakers. Both the single and the album reached the top 10 of the charts. In 2010 he submitted the second album Fino a qui tutto bene , for the song Rivincita contained on it , he worked with the singer Giusy Ferreri . For the third album, Marracash chose an unconventional way of publishing: every week he published a new song on YouTube , the album King del rap then consisted of exactly these (ten) songs. In response to the earthquake in northern Italy in 2012 , he recorded the charity single Se il mondo fosse together with Emis Killa , Club Dogo and J-Ax as a rapper per Emilia ; he also worked with Emis Killa on the song Giusto un giro .
True to its beginnings, Marracash was heard in 2013 on the solo albums Bravo ragazzo and Musica commerciale by Guè Pequeno and Jake La Furia (Club Dogo) respectively . He also founded the independent Roccia Music label with producer Shablo , which in turn functions as a collective, and released the single La tipa del tipo with Tayone . After a collaboration with Deleterio, Luchè and Jake La Furia in 2014, Marracash announced the single Status, his album of the same name, which was released in early 2015. Back together with Guè Pequeno, he then started a new project, which in 2016 resulted in the collaboration album Santeria with several successful singles.
