Fabio B just pulled a masterpiece, put together two historical enemies, Sandro Vs. Sandro, aka J-ax against DJ Gruff.

After singing with Neffa, J-ax pushes himself to the limit with Gruff, singing a song that truly rocks, compared with the one done with Neffa. The base by Fabio B kicks, strong and beautiful , and the two legendary rappers rime over it with a bag of style, creating a very powerful song.

It seems that J-ax is trying somehow to get the respect that the “old school” has never given him, and I think that he’s succeeding in it . After a twenty years career with a lot a successes (including commercial) seems to me that J-ax, after quitting some years ago Articolo 31, is finding himself, and with all these featurings he’s doing nothing but confirming my theory . Well done.

Great job everybody and welcome to Giulia and Jonathan!

The video for Ultimamente, one of the most important songs on the new SUD SOUND SYSTEM LP, just came out.
This is the first single and it’s called Bisogno d’amore. The director of the video is Serafino Murri.

The eighth album of Sud Sound System, Ultimamente, just came out and it contains 16 tracks that talk about their land: Salento.

With this album the band has been exploring new sounds, going from reggae to hip hop, dancehall to calypso and inside you can enjoy notable featurings like Luciano, T.O.K., Voicemail and Miss Triniti, and the new voice from Salento, Ely. The CD is awesome, we just listened to it plenty while traveling from Milan to Rome for Marcin Memorial Day and everyone enjoyed it, even though Sud Sound System are best live where they always offer great shows.

Their tour started in mid-May and they’ll be around main Italian locations and European capitals throughout September.

We all went to see Nina at Magazzini Generali in Milan Tuesday night. A great show with the classic sold out at the ticket office and at least 60% of the crowd was singing every word to the songs!

Altought this adventure did not begin long ago, Nina is already everywhere, from the huge success at the Festival of San Remo to the soundtrack of the movie Mine Vaganti.

Next Saturday Nina will perform at the 21st edition Primo Maggio concert in Rome (live on rai tre around 4pm), along with many other artists, including Roy Paci & Aretuska. Great job Zilli, keep rockin’!

Daniele Galli is now a member of the Blast! Krew, riding for Almost. Check out his welcome video filmed and edited by Andreo Lopes.

Now there are two Lazy Riders riding for Blast!; Daniele joined Marco Lambertucci who is riding for Blind skateboards, also distributed by them. Watch him go out loud in the video report of the Blast meeting at the Seregno Skateplaza.

Blast! is also the italian distributor for Warriors Skateboards that realized the collaboration with the bastard Jammin’ Warriors clothing line.

Some time ago the producer of VBS TV Chris Gross came visit us, as he was collecting material to make a documentary on the history of skateboarding in Europe, and for the Italian chapter has asked us, among others, for some help.

Thanks to the support of Stefano Pomogranato and Vans Italy finally we can see all 5 episodes that narrate a part of our history, a part because clearly when the whole movement started, there were not only Milan and Rome, there was Turin with the Nelzi brothers, Zampa and Pantaleoni, Genoa with the Contati brothers, there was Verona with Ugolini and Tabacchi …
In these five episodes, very well done, we’re taken on a journey through the history and evolution of skateboarding in Italy from the origins to present times; from the first ollies to the golden years of Giorgio Zattoni, all the way to the bastard bowl, going through Milano Centrale.

In the first two episodes Papik Rossi, Ale Martoriati, Alessandro Gargiulo and Mirai Pulvirenti talk about Roma… Unmissable Mirai on the psycological bump.

• part 1 / 5
• part 2 / 5

The third episode is about the beginnings of the professional career of Giorgio Zattoni. Story told by Giorgio himself with a little bit of melancholy.

• part 3 / 5

The last two episodes deal with Milano with tales from the Giordano bros, Jep, Max Bonassi and Gros.

• part 4 / 5
• part 5 / 5
