"I just have to say that I am totally in love with this album. I fell in love with "La Fidanzta" while it was number one on the Italian charts while I was there a couple of years ago. The song combines charleston ragtime music with rap....I don't think I've ever heard anything so original, pleasant, intriguing and catchy all at the same time!! I bought it at a little music store in Rome, and I haven't stopped listening to it since. I would recommend it highly. You don't need to be able to speak or understand Italian to know exactly what is going on, and really, Articolo 31 really proves that music is the universal language. I can't wait to get their other albums!"

J Ax and DJ Jad: do I need to say anything else?!?

"Forget about the stupid classic Italian songs, here we've got the best hip-hop bands in the World. You cannot understand what Articolo 31 did for the Italian music, they changed every rule and every way to think about Italian music. If you buy this album you will get their best album. Even J Ax and DJ Jad said that this is their best album. You don't need to understand italian to buy this CD, the only thing you need to do is listening. You can find amazing songs, for example "Non c'e' sveglia" (my favourite), "Nessuno", "Buon Sangue non Mente" and many others. The lyrics talk about the problems we have in this World. They hate people who are ready to sell themselves just to earn some extra money. They also hate who is ready to make compromises just to became famous. If you understand Italian, you can find all this things in the song "Nessuno". This is a great CD, where Italian sounds get together with american sounds. Maybe you don't know this, but they recorded this album in New York, with the help of american rappers. You can also find other authors in this album, for example Gemelli Diversi. And, by the way, J Ax and his brother (a member of Gemelli Diversi) sing togheter in "Buon Sangue Non Mente". They talk about the pride to come from their land and from their family, the Aleotti family. E PER FINIRE, SOLO UN ACCENNO PER DIRVI CHE SIETE I PIU' GRANDI, CONTINUATE COSI E FATE VEDERE CHE IL MIGLIOR HIP-HOP E' QUELLO ITALIANO, E NESSUNO PUO' METTERLO IN DUBBIO!!!"

Italian Rap 101

"An incredible album, for anyone interested in Italian Rap, this is the first album you should buy. Even better than their previous three albums, DJ Jad shows off his knack for innovative sampling with old notable Italian songs. J-Ax's flow (dope in general) is especially impressive on Il Mondo Dove Vivo. Tons of feel good tunes, especially Fidanzata and Venerdi. If you understand Italian, check Nessuno and Come uno su mille, they just make you think. However, regardless of whether you understand Italian or not, it is worth buying (I learned Italian through listening to music)."
