Nero, I do whatever I want.

Does the pen kill or does the pen cure? Nero reveals the soul of his latest album, “Penkiller.”.

In a chat with Rido that goes beyond music, Nero explores the concept of the record, which was born out of the anxiety of having nothing more to say and became a manifesto of artistic freedom. From the sound that ranges toward house to the choice of “monstrous” featuring (Salmo, Jake La Furia, Ensi, Gemitaiz, Jack the Smoker, and many others), the artist explains his urgency to do “what he wants,” even if it means clashing with the logic of the market. They talk about the difficulty of being in “generational limbo,” the frustration of seeing established artists perceived as “frozen” by a voracious music-consuming public, and the challenge of creating “Series A art with Series C budgets.”.
