-COMING SOON -Italian HIP-HOP History X PER CHI HA SEMPRE DESIDERATO AVERE TRA LE MANI UN PEZZO DELLA PROPRIA STORIA Il primo mixtape hip hop italiano dagli anni ‘90 ad oggi con i migliori mc‘s che hanno segnato una generazione. Prodotto da Trumen Records, distribuito Self. Selezionata da DJ FEDE Note interne di TORMENTO e PAOLO FERRARI
TRUMEN RECORDS e‘ fiera di presentare ITALIAN HIP-HOP HISTORY X, la prima compilation hip-hop, selezionata da dj Fede, un esperto e rodato intenditore del genere, con le note interne di Tormento, da sempre uno degli mc più rappresentativi nel panorama artistico hip hop italiano e Paolo Ferrari, una penna che sull’argomento può fare scuola. Si deve proprio al sodalizio tra l'etichetta e dj Fede l'uscita di questa bellissima compilation, una raccolta che ci dona un'ampia panoramica sulle svariate realtà rap che hanno popolato il nostro paese a partire dagli inizi degli anni ‘90, ponendo le basi di quello che negli anni andrà rappresentando una svolta culturale, un vero e proprio fenomeno di massa. Oltre che i nomi degli artisti più noti come Articolo 31, Fabri Fibra, Neffa, Piotta che dimostrano una forte identità senza perdere quel legame con ciò che è ed è stato l'hip-hop, questo lavoro e‘ valorizzato anche dalle collaborazioni di tanti mc‘s e gruppi di grande importanza. Insomma, ce n'è per tutti i gusti!! Ad introdurre l’uscita della compilation sta girando sul web l’intervista di Maurizio Cimmino all’ideatore, Dj Fede, che con la sua precisa e ironica esperienza c’introduce in questo viaggio nelle nostre memorie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arN5RL6siNs&feature=player_embedded) Una raccolta di brani che, al pari di una compita tela, mostra una nuance ben concepita e confezionata oltre che ben prodotta. Dj Fede sa come si fa ad emozionare.
