Milano, 8 May. (askanews) – Pre-sales for “King Marracash” are officially open, the first docufilm dedicated to Marracash, arriving in Italian cinemas as a special event only on 25, 26 and 27 May. This is the official trailer of the docufilm, which recounts a year of dreams and triumphs of the King of rap, starting from an unprecedented undertaking in Italy: the first stadium tour for an Italian rapper, with his most prestigious stop at the San Siro stadium in Milan.
Produced by Greenlandia – in collaboration with DISNEY+ and in association with Adler Entertainment – “King Marracash” traces the career of Fabio Rizzo, aka Marracash, through a story that intertwines artistic and personal dimensions, enriched by the testimonies of those who shared this path with him: Deleterio, Elodie, Guè, Jacopo Pesce, Matteo Mancuso, Marz, Mirko Rizzo, Paola Zukar, Rame and Massimo Recalcati.
Directed by Pippo Mezzapesa, who also edited the story and screenplay together with Antonella W. Gaeta, Chiara Battistini and Shadi Cioffi, the documentary recounts the artist’s journey, from scattered rhymes to the first album, exploring success and stasis, light and darkness, strength and fragility. The docufilm takes the viewer to Marracash’s childhood places, among the Barona barracks, where he grew up, in the harsh heart of the outskirts of Milan, and then travels to Sicily with his family.
Through an intimate story spanning a year spent in extraordinary proximity with the artist, everyday life, friends, collaborators, awards, songs and love are shown. It is the closing of a circle after the trilogy of albums that definitively consecrated him as a leading artist on the Italian music scene.
The journey culminates with the repayment of the original debt: a Block Party, a real concert to give to his neighborhood. A necessary act and, at the same time, a form of profound redemption for those who come from the “periphery of everything”. Because, as will emerge from the film, it is possible to change an already written story and make it rap, but it is exceptional to become the absolute King of rap.
The docufilm is a Greenland production, in collaboration with Disney+, in association with Adler Entertainment, produced by Matteo Rovere and Leonardo Godano, produced by Marco Colombo.
