Rappers From Italy

"This song Announce me to the audience reveals the meaning of the whole album Habemus Capa. Caparezza is dead and through his corpse he observes his surroundings and pours it into verse.

"It's a journey inside my head. This is the most painful album of my career. It comes after seven albums and is the result of a feeling of anguish and amazement, the same one you feel when moving inside the interactive forest that we created. Entering a forest and not knowing where you are going is strange, it is possible to enjoy the most beautiful situations, but also the bad ones. I think that this journey, similar to a video game, can help the public understand the project: it's like when you order a wine at a restaurant, if someone explains it to you it immediately takes on more value. (Caparezza)"

"EXUVIA, in short, is what remains of the body of some insects after having developed a formal change. A perfect cast, so precise in detail that it seems like a sculpture, a kind of transparent case that once housed the life and which now sits there, motionless, a simulacrum of a phase that has now been overcome. On the cover there is a symbol that represents the passage from a current condition (large circle) to a future one (small circle) through a series of spirals (symbol of death and rebirth in most cultures). My EXUVIA is therefore a personal rite of passage in 14 songs, the path of a fugitive who escapes from the imprisonment of times gone by to let himself be swallowed up by a forest in which to lose your tracks.From a post on the official Instagram page, 31 March 2021.</ ref> (Caparezza)"

"[...] I don't really care how Exuvia will be received. Really. However, it matters a lot to me that people perceive the commitment that went into doing it, the commitment that I put into it. Because if taste is subjective, and it is, other things are not. And I can tell you that I could talk to you for hours, really hours, about every single sentence contained in this record; I went back to the lyrics a thousand times before finding the definitive version. In short, I don't care if you like this album, but you have to recognize the commitment behind it. Yes, this is what I ask of you, I demand this a little. (Caparezza)"

"The human race craves a fate that smacks of clinical death, | but he recites the usual cynical mimicry: | «Okay, that's it for today but tomorrow uou hou, uou hou!» (from But tomorrow uou hou, n. 8)"

"At the beginning of my career I was terrified of becoming a one-shot singer, from one song and away. Instead I managed to distract people from my so-called hits, like Fuori dal Tunnel for example, which for me are just songs."
