With his breathless flow adjusted to modern syncopated beats, Emis Killa spits rap influenced by the American greats he grew up listening to in the mid-late ‘90s—Busta Rhymes, The Game, The Diplomats—for audiences in his native Italy. The Lombardy rapper began trading bars in Milan when he was 14, and is now a coach on the Italian version of the reality TV show The Voice. He regularly sells out venues and tops the charts, and his successful formula spans everything from lyrical tributes to the changing times of Milan ("CULT"), to bubblegum trap collaborations ("Serio", featuring Capo Plaza).
