You should!” and the lights of the Forum come on. Soon after it arrives My namesong recorded together with his girlfriend Valentina Cabassi, who watches him from the private parterre under the stage. On this not exactly romantic song (“It’s not just you in my thoughts, leave me for a bit”), the actress and content creator told an anecdote: it seems that she didn’t know which track she was supposed to record and that she found out only after listening to the single. “In the end the song is a dissing to me but the fact that we recorded it together makes everything quite ironic» said Valentina Cabassi in a TikTok.

The first surprise guest of the evening is Nitrowhich arrives on the notes of Some days. The entire lineup is a tribute to his Milan, first of all 68, which retraces all the stops of the Milanese transport that passed near the singer’s house and took him to the centre.

The album tour has, in fact, been postponed several times due to Covid.

Before starting with the most successful pieces, Ernia pauses to tell his story: «Many ask me: “What is the secret?”. But I I don’t have a particular history in Italian rap: a normal guy with a path that has nothing phenomenal. In the end, however, in this way, I have affected people from all walks of life ». And he says that all this narrative started long ago: Snow.

The rapper has chosen a careful lineup, for enthusiasts, leaving the greatest hits for the finale and thus justifying his decision: «There are the pieces that make numbers and become hits and then there are the songs, which make sense even if listen to one person only. I’ve tried to write some.” Soon after they arrive The imposter And Good nighta letter to the son that the rapper and his partner have decided not to have.
