Lauro de Marinis (born 11 july 1990), known professionally as Achille Lauro, is an Italian rapper and singer.[1][2] He gained popularity in the Italian hip hop scene and he competed in at the Sanremo Music Festival 2019 with the song "Rolls Royce"[3] and at the 2020 edition with the song "Me ne frego".[4]
Musical style[]
On several occasions, Lauro has declared that he is not very close, in terms of tastes, to Italian rap, as he does not like to be homologated to the well-known stereotype of the street rapper.[5] In fact, he has always deviated from the canonical look of hip hop artists, causing a scandal for his eccentric aesthetics in terms of clothing.[6]
He said he was happy to follow his compatriot Ghali, but above all the Americans Travis Scott, 6lack and Young Thug.[7] Lauro said he is a huge fan of Vasco Rossi, Kurt Cobain, Elvis Presley and The Beatles.[8][9] Among her influences, he cites to have been inspired by singer-songwriters Lucio Battisti and Rino Gaetano in reference to his rock turning point.[10]
