Despite my ancestry and tendency to constantly refer to myself as an Italian-American, I can’t say I speak more than six or seven words of my (great-grand)mother tongue. Also, I’m pretty sure Milanese rapper Marracash doesn’t ever use any of the words and phrases I do know, like la bella figura, which is the title of a new book I keep meaning to read, and zampognari, which has something to do with the nativity.

So not only do I not know what he’s rapping about, but I also can’t find much about him online that’s in a language I understand. In fact, I even had to resort to a translation of his Wikipedia page, which resulted in lots of ridiculousness. But I did discern a couple of key facts:

1. His self-titled debut solo album came out in Italy on June 13.

2. He is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

And, really, that’s all you need to know. But for a little more background, he’s a part of Milan’s Dogo Gang (which also features the foxy DonJoe) and his debut single’s called Badabum Cha Cha. It sounds pretty fun to me, and you know how partial I am to airhorns, but I have no idea whether or not the repeated song title is actually clever, or if it’s the Italian equivalent of a dumb rapper yelling “Yaaaaaaaaaa!” over and over. However, I’d much rather Badabum Cha Cha with Marracash than superman a dumb Youtube celebrity like Soulja Boy.

Foxy pictures after the jump. I’m particularly fond of his nose and eyebrows, for what it’s worth:
