Turi: Salviamo il salvabile (2001)

Calabrian rapper Turi is one of the finest MCs in Italy. His style is heavily marked by his calabrian inflection, though he strictly raps in Italian in every song except for "A cui?". He has an extremely serried flow, complex rhythm/syllabe patterns, often making use of feminine rhymes and chained alliterations. The prosody may remind British rapper Braintax.
The lyrics are mostly self-referential in a classic hip-hop style, but they don't epitomize the stereotypical "crew" aesthetics. Some of them focus on Southern Italy instances, problems, traditions ("Non scordare").
The album features several duets and sober, jazz-influenced loops which give it a pleasurable waggish tone.
