Italian hip-hop and rap (and Murubutu)

Bologna and Emilia are deep in Italian rap history: Isola Posse All Stars, Sangue Misto, Inoki, and especially Murubutu, the history-and-philosophy teacher who invented rap didattico (his Infernvm with Claver Gold retells Dante). Plus Caparezza, Marracash, Fabri Fibra, Salmo, Ghali, Lazza.

Why it matters for Matias

Murubutu turns history and literature into rap; for a philosophy student in Emilia, he is the perfect local hero.
