But why “rose”? this is a tribute to mom, which bears the same name. «The relationship between us is beautiful, for me she has always been: she is my first supporter.

In the night of 18 and 19 May, in between the winter and summer tours, their latest single, “Belu Guaglione”, was released.

Rosa Chemical comes from a rock and metal traditionThat is why seeing him perform on stage destroys the expectations (especially negative ones) that were previously formed in the head: «When people come to one of my concerts, they are full of prejudices. They hired me as an urban artist and expected to rap live, On the other hand, I have a different cultural background, so my attitude, the way I behave on stage, comes from the rock world. The shows I make with the band have nothing to do with rap, and get people excited, Among the artists he admires and dreams of duet with are Cesare Cremonini (“I’m crazy about him”), Justin Bieber (“He’s one of my reference points”) and Calcutta. .

I admire love, freedom of expression, obviously I do not agree with what they sing». We also ask him for a perspective on matching.
