Rap Italian Style

Educate yourself on some Euro rap at this unique page which claims to be the only English-language dedicated to Italian Hip Hop. "Rap Italiano," as they call it, is an eclectic mix of styles, from reggae to dancehall to acid jazz, and like all hip-hop it speaks to local concerns and traditions. You can get a brief primer on the history of Italian rap, read about how the Italian language lends itself to rhyming, or view bios and discographies of such prominent Italian rappers as Sergio Messina and Fly Cat. It's great to see hip hop spreading around the globe and taking on new and exciting forms. I'm sure there'll soon be a website like this for just about every country.
