Italia Rap

Italiarap is a project dedicated to Italian rap and hip-hop culture. The concept behind the site is simple – in a scene that keeps evolving and producing incredible artists, there are surprisingly few places online that our community with the depth, respect, and passion it deserves. Unlike the U.S., where rap & hip-hop sites are constantly evolving with fresh and engaging content, many Italian sites unfortunately come across as stagnant and outdated — occasional blog posts, a few photos here and there, but very little in terms of merchandise or direct musical content. So our goal is to build something different.

Too many platforms feel generic, outdated, or disconnected from what’s actually happening — so we decided to build something different.

Italiarap was created for people who really live this music. For listeners who follow new releases, chat in bars with friends, travel to concerts, and feel part of a movement that goes beyond trends. Our goal is to become a home for fans across Italy — a space where content isn’t just recycled or superficial, but built around the culture, the artists, and the stories behind the scene.

The site brings together different aspects of Italian hip-hop under one roof. In the blog area, we share articles, features, reflections, and scene-related content, with an eye on how the genre continues to grow and change. We also curate playlists focused on new Italian rap and hip-hop releases, helping listeners discover emerging voices as well as established names. Our events section highlights concerts and live shows across Italy, because music isn’t just something you listen to — it’s something you experience.

At the same time, Italiarap also has a strong connection to streetwear and style. The site includes a selection of merchandice and apparel inspired by Italian rap culture — clothing designed for people who feel part of the scene and want to express that identity in everyday life. The idea isn’t just to sell products, but to build a visual language around the music and community that influence us.

Even though Italiarap is still at the beginning of its journey, the ambition is long-term. Over time, we want to expand the project, involve more voices, collaborate with artists and fans, and keep refining how we represent the culture. The site will continue to grow as the scene grows, shaped by the people who read, share, and take part in it.

If you’re here for the music, the stories, the events — or the style — you’re in the right place. Thanks for joining us at the start our story. The movement is already here — we’re just helping to give it a home.
