Rocco Hunt

Originating from Salerno, Italy, the melodic yet tough-sounding rapper Rocco Hunt, born Rocco Pagliarulo, issued his earliest singles including "Quante Cose" while still a teenager and worked with Fritz da Cat and Clementino at that time. He secured a contract with Sony Music Italy before reaching his twentieth birthday, then issued his debut album Poeta Urbano in 2013. Further momentum arrived the next year through his appearance at the Sanremo Music Festival, where he won in the Nuove Proposte category for emerging artists. His second album A Verità also arrived that year. One of its singles, "Nu Juorno Buono," peaked at number five on the official Italian pop chart.
