Silent Bob may take his moniker from Kevin Smith’s ’90s slacker icon, but the brand of hard-hitting hip-hop he’s crafted with long-time collaborator Sick Budd is anything but laidback. Expect Budd to provide beats that are both minimalist and thumping while Bob—aka Edoardo Fontana—uses his gravelly tones and smooth flow to spin vivid tales. These range from his struggles growing up in suburban Milan to emotionally turbulent romantic relationships—all with a uniquely searing lyrical honesty, especially on the likes of “Zitta” and “Autostrada Del Sole”.
