On Italian trap music. The article includes an interview to Italian trapper IZI.
PS: This article included a quote from the song Mafia by Dark Polo Gang, an Italian-drill band from Rome. The quote was: "Mangio sei xanax baby/Mi sveglio più ricco di prima - soldi, soldi, soldi" ("I eat 6 xanax's and I wake up richer than before (money, money, money)".
On Nov. 15th, 2017, some six weeks after my article had been published, emo-rapper Lil Peep allegedly overdosed and eventually died under circumstances that needed to be clarified although they seem to involve six xanax pills. He was 21 years old.
Needless to say all our love and blessings go to his soul and to the living soul of anybody unwilling to follow his example and - staying cool, calm and collected - choosing to fully face these particular times, no matter how hard they may look.
