Voilà pourquoi le rap napolitain explose en Italie | Tracks | ARTE

Geolier, the rapper topping the charts in Italy, sings in a language many Italians don't understand: Neapolitan. Like him, Luchè and Ntò have amassed millions of streams and form a unique rap scene that proudly displays its Southern Italian identity. How can this rise be explained when Neapolitan isn't recognized as an official language, and the culture of Naples and its surrounding areas still suffers from a negative image associated with organized crime? What does Neapolitan rap say about this region and its artists? Can it reconcile Northern and Southern Italy? Tracks traces the history of this rap scene. Featuring Gransta MSV, a historical witness to the arrival of hip-hop in Italy who has become a producer and mentor for Naples' emerging rap scene. Also featured are the rappers of the SLF collective, "Solo la Fam'", committed to giving a voice to working-class neighborhoods and telling their city's story beyond the clichés. And also Lina Simons, a rising star with Italian-Nigerian roots, whose powerful lyrics on racism and belonging stand out. 🔊 Gransta MSV:   / napl_king   / www.granstamsv.com 🎶 Mine:   / minemusiclabel   🎙️ SLF:   / slf_official   🎤 Lina Simons:   / linasimonsmusic   00:00 Introduction 02:10 The birth of the Neapolitan rap scene 06:31 A new generation denouncing violence 10:42 Neapolitan, the language of possibilities #napoli #rappers https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/119473-...
