Fabri Fibra: a letter to the “son” who does not have

“While Los Angeles Burn”, Fabri Fibra’s eleventh album (Read here our interview and here our review) has different tracks that have literally displaced the public by emotion and depth. One is undoubtedly “my father”, a very hard song-sfogo, dark and disturbing against the father. It is not the first time that the rapper faces his family’s ghosts. But at this tour there is an extra piece: Fibra decides to write also a letter-canzone to a son who does not have, widening the theme of the family question. And it does so by listing a series of advice, which he first wanted to feel given by his father. The two tracks therefore become connected.

“In a text I meant: ‘Take the girls well, remember karma is important‘. I had this sentence but I didn’t know how to use it. Then I get this basis of Bias And I started thinking that I could have made sure that someone told me, but then someone could have thought that I treat the girls badly and then it had to be advice to someone, but to whom? – tells the rapper – This is advice that a parent should give a child. Then connecting to the piece ‘my father’ I thought of doing a spin-off telling what I would say to a son. What matters for me is the end of the piece where I say that with all the problems I have for me you are a nice ending because for me this album is really like a son, it is my creature ”. Then fiber widens the lens:”There is a lot of talk about vulgar texts, on the other hand, I am convinced that you can say things with music without being vulgar and above all for me it is a step forward, saying something that I had never said before. This is my 11th disc, the second with Sony, and I wanted to make two really important records, records that are a point of reference, they give a shock. We live a period where censorship, the fear of saying things, public opinion, weighs on the artists who instead should always feel free to express themselves“.
