This is the picture of a long-awaited record that we had already foreshadowed through some of the most beautiful participations of the past year ( Dj Enzo's album and that of Chief and Associates). An imaginary journey traveling along an ideal geographical straight line, the forty-first parallel precisely, which connects Naples to New York; a journey that \u201cretraces\u201d the roads so dear to American Hip Hop not depriving them of their \u201coriginal\u201d matrix but giving them a new soul and renewed interest. Thickness, therefore to be sold, a global dimension that while clinging with all its nails to the \u201cmuch-named, and sometimes unknown, Neapolitan tradition manages to overcome every barrier, nullify every goegraphic boundary while remaining enclosed in a \u201csimple\u201d core as<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Is that of every Family. Love, peace, unity and brotherhood at the base of every family as at the base of a culture: Hip Hop. So don't be frightened by such extreme use of Neapolitan dialect and some, hopefully ironic, invective of the protagonists, Polo and Sha-One, know that the CD's internal booklet contains all the lyrics \u201ctranslated\u201d into Italian. The nonetheless overwhelming \u201cflow\u201d of the two mc's will captivate you from the very beginning and with careful listening you will easily understand...be tempted. Beginning with \u201cMast,\u201d a \u201cclassic\u201d introductory track \u201c...we split money and earnings\/we fled to the countryside with guards on our heels for four designs...\u201d through \u201cLa Famiglia\u201d and \u201cC.N.E.F.\u201d (the latter you may have already heard on some Network) until you get to two \u201csuperior\u201d pieces like \u201cOdyssey\u201d and \u201cHunger\u201d; you will find different atmospheres, some never too cumbersome singing, good \u201cscrappy\u201d parts but above all two really smart Mc's often able to amaze you. Personally I wasn't very convinced by some productions, in my opinion a bit too \u2019glossy\u201c (I had the impression there were a lot of played parts); I prefer when the whole thing has a rougher and more ignorant sound even if I have to admit that a song like \u201dOdyssey\u201c turns out perfect maybe also for its \u201dpeculiarity\u201c. As the holidays are approaching and as I recommend giving Music as a gift...all good things come to few words.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>By <strong>Vez<br \/>\nDecember 1998<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La recensione dell&#8217;esordio del gruppo napoletano La Famiglia nel dicembre 1998.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29170,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_nectar_blocks_hide_post_title":false,"_nectar_blocks_transparent_header_effect":false,"_nectar_blocks_transparent_header_effect_color":"light","_nectar_blocks_header_animation":false,"_nectar_blocks_header_animation_delay":0,"_nectar_blocks_header_animation_effect":"fade","_nectar_blocks_page_css":"","_nectar_blocks_page_js":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8,181],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-recensioni-archivio","category-archivio"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aelle.hiphop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aelle.hiphop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aelle.hiphop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aelle.hiphop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aelle.hiphop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29166"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/aelle.hiphop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29166\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32141,"href":"https:\/\/aelle.hiphop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29166\/revisions\/32141"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aelle.hiphop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aelle.hiphop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aelle.hiphop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aelle.hiphop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
