This month's Next to Blow features a young duo that have a big following in Italy of all places. Indie Planet faithful: we present to you Young Italy:
Young Italy's Bilingual Brothers Offer Groundbreaking Music
Young Italy is a rap duo unlike any other. Young Italy's two members, Anthony Daniele aka Lil' A, age 11, and Francesco Daniele aka Lil' Frank, age 14, are hip-hop siblings. The fresh faced Memphis-based rappers may look cute, but when they begin rap, their skills take over and cuteness isn't the focus anymore. Lil' A and Lil' Frank are serious, flow-laced rappers/lyricists. Bi-lingual in Italian and English, Young Italy already has a loud buzz going over in Italy; they're ready now to show America what they're about.
Young Italy's energetic music comes laced with thumping swag, heart and a rhythmic vibe. Their first single, “Beat N My Trunk,” featuring Jay Mullinz, is a catchy crunk tune. Their debut CD, “Young, Fly & Flashy,” will be released later in 2008 by Trendsetters Entertainment.
The brothers rap about young, contemporary subjects without cursing; their music is enjoyed by both parents and kids alike. Their subject matter ranges from dance moves, as in “Snap Once,” to a tribute to their late uncle, with the thoughtful tune, “Uncle Frank.”
With the full support of their parents, Lil' A and Lil' Frank are home schooled so that they can have a schedule that allows for their music career. They are, nevertheless, well-rounded young fellas who also enjoy various sports, including soccer, basketball and football.
Lil' A is also a professional actor with numerous credits under his belt, while Lil' Frank is a skilled musician, who works on the music for Young Italy's songs.
The two hard-working, focused hip-hop bambinos are poised to make a very distinctive name for themselves in the music game.
