Nerone

Massimiliano Figlia, born in 1991 and known as Nerone, is one of the most hardcore rappers of his generation. He only tangentially fits into the more generic trap movement, working from a solid foundation of fast flow, razor-sharp rhyme schemes, a roaring delivery and raw, unfiltered content. He hits his stride with his official debut "Max" (2017), produced with a trap sound but still clearly hardcore at its core, marked by a technique that can also turn elegant and a style more eclectic than in his earliest days.

Since then he has released further albums and numerous short releases, as well as a joint album with Ensi, "Brava gente" (2023).
