I was really into the italian american rappers when I was a teenager and Jojo pellegrino, thank you for the music.
My favorite Italian emcee - he set fire to
Mixtapes when he did where I’m
From better than Jay z and Bada bing on the mixtapes .. he’s got classic underground hip
Hop
Classics . Was also on grand theft auto radio on the video game . Legendary
Gave myself this haircut... nobody clippin' the boss...
I’ve been listening to Jojo for a long time. Good to hear his story. I still rock his old stuff. When I was on a tv show Italian American show in Chicago I tried to get Jojo involved, but never happened. He did write I rhyme I remember were he said the line “they want me on reality tv but I can’t bring cameras where I be. Something like that. Crazy to hear is story similar to mine. Made it but had a messed up experience.
Keep it 💯 we need to adopt the view that if your grandparents are italian your italian no matter how mixed u may be, millions of italians out here unsure of there italianess
And you can see jojo even got it a bit and hes a italian legend in the game

My grandma's maiden name is Pellegrino. Not too many with that same last name. My great grandparents came from Calabria and moved to California in 1922. They had a huge fruit and nut farm then moved to a bigger house with an amazing set of fig tree's. Seeing that last name brings back memories
Not his real last name but a rap name
Great interview!!

Where I'm from is a classic Hip Hop joint. Regardless of anything. Just good ole Hip Hop music.
