That time Gué and Fibra rapped over a Verdena hit

It was 2013 when Gué, by publishing the album “Bravo ragazzo”, his second solo album, gave Italian rap a little gem: it is “In orbita”a song that contains a sample of “Rockets to“rpi hell and flames” by Verdena. It’s not finished: the base of the piece, and the work on the sample, was done by the Aucan with the added arrangements of Marco Zangirolami. With Guercio, for the first time on a track, also emerges Fabri Fiberthe two had collaborated on some projects up until that point posse track with other colleagues.

“I have always respected Verdena, we come from different worlds, but I like them. And I knew that Fibra also appreciated them, that’s why I asked him for a collaboration on this type of song.”, Gué said in a sort of vlog made at the time. A piece that, in addition to demonstrating the great Gué’s musical culturewho in his career he really rapped over a ton of different basesalso has powerful and evocative rhymes: “And if you kiss me when the dawn has risen, you’ll kiss me back to life. Then you’ll kiss me when the night falls, I am illuminated by crooked moons”.

The song, as he himself described it in a post on Facebook, it’s a real “journey”. The text of the original “Razzi arpia inferno e fiamme” was written four-handed by Alberto Ferrari and Roberto Longarettimember of the Bergamo band Spread. Alberto Ferrari said: “I had already written mine, and he wrote his without seeing what I had done, then we integrated the parts”. Although it was chosen as the first single, stylistically and also partly musically it was the piece that most distanced itself from the sound of the 2011 album “Wow”.but with his dreaminess he conquered the public. And even a devotee like Gué.
