Maglie strette – new HH track out

ITA – Questa canzone si chiama Maglie strette perché letteralmente parla di questo: di quei vestiti scomodi perché il corpo é scomodo; di quel non essere mai a posto con se stess3 perché non si é a posto nel posto dato; iniziando appunto dal posto piú intimo, quello “dentro a questa cosa / di ossa di pelle di acqua / effimera”.

Non é di per sé una canzone allegra, Maglie strette, ma va bene cosí perché cosí é sempre stato, tra me e quelle maglie, e forse cosí sará ancora e forse no, perché ora “ho perso la pazienza / e vorrei nelle pieghe della stanza / un riflesso che m’inganna”.

Video e testo qui sotto – ascolta qui: https://linktr.ee/magliestrette

ENG – This song is called Maglie strette (tight-knit sweaters) because that’s literally what it’s about: those uncomfortable clothes because the body is uncomfortable; that feeling of never being at ease with oneself because one isn’t at ease in the space assigned to them; starting, in fact, from the most intimate space, the one “inside this thing / of bones, skin, and water / ephemeral.”

Maglie strette isn’t a cheerful song in and of itself, but that’s okay because that’s how it’s always been between me and those sweaters—perhaps it will be still, perhaps not anymore because now “I’ve lost my patience / and I’d like, in the folds of the room, / a reflection that does deceive me.”

Maglie strette

Voguemc

Tra le spalle tra le gambe nella mente
Tra gli sguardi le parole della gente
Solo maglie strette, maglie strette
Non c’è niente se mi chiami non c’è niente
Solo il mondo sulla pelle che mi stringe
Solo maglie strette, maglie strette
Tutta la vita ad allargarle col gomito
Tutta la vita a sentirmi scomodo
Solo maglie strette, maglie strette
Tutta la vita a sperare in uno specchio
Tutta la vita a volerlo già morto
Solo maglie strette, maglie strette
Sono solo maglie strette

Col rotolo a venire fuori, come parte di me
Strange things – eccedenze del mio corpo mobile
Fine things – eccedenze del mio corpo instabile
Ecce bombo – sono, un soprammobile
Di me stesso, delle mie gambe delle mia mente
Maglie strette intorno a questo corpo che non è me
Voglio liberarmene – dammi le tue vene
Le userò per tracciare
Una via di fuga importante

Tra le spalle tra le gambe nella mente
Tra gli sguardi le parole della gente
Solo maglie strette, maglie strette
Non c’è niente se mi chiami non c’è niente
Solo il mondo sulla pelle che mi stringe
Solo maglie strette, maglie strette
Tutta la vita ad allargarle col gomito
Tutta la vita a sentirmi scomodo
Solo maglie strette, maglie strette
Tutta la vita a sperare in uno specchio
Tutta la vita a volerlo già morto
Solo maglie strette, maglie strette
Sono solo maglie strette

Le dita in gola frate – non mi vergogno di cosa
E l’alcool solo per sentirsi bene in posa, ma non
Per una foto, in posa dentro a questa cosa
Di ossa di pelle di acqua –
effimera, ridotta a una camicia scomoda
Stretta – e ora ho fretta sai
Ora che gli anni vanno al di là –
Ho perso la pazienza
E vorrei nelle pieghe della stanza
Un riflesso che m’inganna.

Piante e Dosi: new anti-securitisation and anti-policing HH track out now

I have released a new track, titled Piante e Dosi, produced by Stoic and arranged by Stefano Ribaudo. The name evokes the surname of our Ministry of the Interior, to denounce the securitisation and militarisation of Italian cities, including Turin (the case of Askatasuna is just one amongst many). The track also speaks of police violence, racial profiling and the tragedy of the migration detention centres in the country.

The track is available on all platforms: https://linktr.ee/pianteedosi

Here is a short clip by rocconlebonbe.

Boycott Spotify

Goodbye, Spotify! Not only are your practices with independent artists criminal, but your CEO also has a billion-pound investment in Helsing, a German company specialising in drones and the development of artificial intelligence systems for military use. Now you’ve also posted recruitment ads for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and who knows what else. Music is art, lad, not commerce and certainly not military!

For listening, I’m going with Tidal, trying Qobuz, and continuing with SoundCloud. For the distribution of my music, including the new album coming out in December, you can find Vogue on any other platform. It’s a simple, easy gesture. Necessary.

Stanco! Out now.

“Stanco”, tired, is my refuge word. But tired of what, of whom? My new piece is about this. About being exhausted, but charged with liberating and affirmative power.

“Tired! Of left-wing flags | Of the gender I have, violated in a mass | Tired! Of your violent head, fascist | Tired! Of your patriarchy, racist”

I don’t like macho rap songs. Here are six minutes of love, ending with a beautiful keynote speech by bell hooks. Peace!

Out everywhere.

Millemila, new rap boombap for Palestine, out now

Millemila, voguemc

Tomorrow, May 15, we remember the Nakba of 1948 and that of today.

In the streets, in classrooms, and in workplaces, we will continue to fight the genocide that the State of Israel is committing against the Palestinian people, its history, and territory.

For our Palestinian sisters and brothers, we are in “Millemila”/a thousand thousand.
