Fabri Fibra is an Italian rapper. His real name is Fabrizio Tarducci and he was born on October 17 1976 in Senigallia, Italy.

Biography

Interested in music from a young age, Fabrizio Tarducci wrote and performed his first piece at 17 years of age. The interchangeable tone in his voice (most noticeable in his album "Mr. Simpatia") in his music and freestyles has given him the recognition as one of the most popular and well known rappers in the Italian Hip-hop scene.

In 1995 he recorded his first demo and it was here that his innovative talent became apparent. With the help of DJ Lato, beatmaker and deejay, in 1996 they produced the underground CD "Del mare quest'el gruv". In 1999 Fabri and Lato produce and distribute the LP "Sindrome Di Fine Millennio" (End Of The Millennium Syndrome), with collaborations from El Presidente aka Esa, Inoki, Joe Cassano and his brother Nesli. Fibra's rap, filled with interwoven plots and allusions gave his raps a very introspective feel, and amongst the noted Italian hip-hop community his name soon became known and was considered as one to watch.

Following his underground success Fabri Fibra began performing his skill around Italy. In 2000 his label and group Teste Mobili Records (Bobbing Head Records) is established and he collaborates on various Italian rap groups, lending vocals as well as lyrics to the mixtape circuit.

olo career

In 2002 Fabri's first solo album titled "Turbe Giovanili" (Juvenile Troubles) in which he wrote and recorded his lyrics under the production and arrangement of Neffa. A year later Fabri distributes "Lato e Fabri Fibra" which brought a close to the partnership with Lato and the project Uomini Di Mare.The 1st September 2004 saw both Nesli's "Home" and Fabri Fibra's "Mr. Simpatia" go on sale simultaneously, and in between all the twisted and blasphemous lyrics, both rappers aimed their lyrical abilities at any and every topic. However, above all, the lyrics of Fabri Fibra are more than just sensationalism, they are rich with personal experiences, irony and a deep and constant self-criticism. A continuity in verses adds weight to his work, compared to the aggressive tone and prejudice of society that dominates other rappers music.

"Tradimento (Betrayal)"

After splitting from his recording company contract at "Vibrarecords", Fabri goes underground and unheard from for a year, until he resurfaced with a new deal at major recording company "Universal Music Italia" and under the production of Fish and brother Nesli Fabri created his most commercially and artistically successful album, "Tradimento" (Betrayal). His first single, released in Europe 4 April 2006 was Applausi Per Fibra.The single covers personal and life experiences overcome by Fabri himself, not without a certain emphasis on self-praise, a technique more akin to U.S rap style but slowly spreading into Italian rap. Only a week after the official launch (6th June 2006) the album achieved an astonishing commercial popularity and success that allowed it to reach the number one spot in album sales. However it did not escape the criticisms for its use of expletives, indifference in approaching provocative themes and its misgoynist views of women, all of which were found across the album. However on television, the popularity of Applausi Per Fibra with a music video gains Fabri fame and success from fans and throughout the album plays on these sensationalist themes. Following the success of club style single Applausi Per Fibra the second more urban themed single Su Le Mani was released and then followed with the release of Mal Di Stomaco on the 28th August. Mal Di Stomaco gains instant infamy, most notably for the originality of its music video (a fabricated broadcast of SKY TG24 - a Satellite news station) that reports on the death of Fabri Fibra in a car accident. The authenticity is sealed with "live coverage" reports, interviews from famous stars such as Fernanda Lessa, Eva Henger, Jimmy Ghione, and rappers/producer Fish and brother Nesli. The video ends with Fabri's body disappearing from the morgue. His latest single is Idee Stupide with a black and white video which whilst not as original as the former video, uses a Rocky style montage that compliments Fabri's underdog lyrics.

"Bugiardo (Liar)"

Fabri Fibra's return has been announced on the Internet. The new album, "Bugiardo", came out on November 9th 2007, after the release of the street-single "Questo è il nuovo singolo (This is the new single)", which came out on October 5th. The first official single, "Bugiardo", came out on October 15th.
