The first time he saw a murder he was only 9 years old, but he felt nothing, “not even fear,” Luchè – born Luca Imprudente – says into the microphones of Luca Casadei’s “One More Time” podcast, remembering of his childhood and youth in the difficult neighborhoods of Naples. “I lived with my family in a very large building,” continues the rapper, who will be in Sanremo alongside Geolier on the evening of the duets, “my friends came to knock and told me to come down because down in the Bar something happened.” When I arrived there was a huge crowd and a long trail of blood stretching from the bar to the sidewalk. Years later it was he who found himself in a dangerous situation. “I was 18 years old and a boy loaded a gun and pointed it at my head, but he didn't shoot. “We had an argument about something small, he went away and came back with the gun, from then on I became even more angry,” says Luchè, also recalling another dramatic episode that happened when he was a boy.
“Another time I heard shots in the middle of the neighborhood: I saw a scooter going against traffic and a boy crying. We started running, there were a hundred teenagers around the person on the ground: that's where my urge to tell these things in rap came from.” After starting with the Co'Sang group together with Ntò (“We stopped in 2012, because we no longer understood each other, different visions and lifestyles”), came in 2016 with “O primmo ammore”, an inserted song, the turning point was a sequel to “Gomorrah” “and from then on the success begins,” says the 43-year-old Rapper before turning to the chapter “Women”.
“For me, women are the definition of beauty and play an important role in my life,” admits Luchè. From then on, management is a completely different matter. After recent experiences, I told myself to force myself to make a change. I found myself in similar relationships because I didn't give myself time to grow. My relationship with women has always been conflicted because I fell in love with people who had the same traumas as me, I believed that this was my habitat. Over time, I realized that love is no longer true when it is difficult. I understood that I deserve stability, that love can be that too. Don’t just torture yourself and then make peace.”
