99 Posse

99 Posse is an Italian hip-hop/reggae group, hailing from Naples, that formed in 1991. The group's music blends a variety of genres including rap, reggae, and ska, and is renowned for its political activism and socially conscious lyrics. The name "99 Posse" implies a multitude of individuals standing in solidarity, with "posse" reflecting both the group's collective nature and its diverse musical influences.

Throughout their career, 99 Posse have remained staunchly independent, often self-producing their albums and maintaining a critical stance against commercialisation and mainstream music industry practices. They gained notoriety with their debut album "Curre Curre Guagliò" in 1993, which became a landmark for the Italian alternative music scene, mixing fiery rhetoric with a strong countercultural stance. Over the years, releases such as "Cattivi guagliuni", "Corto circuito", and "Sott'attacco dell'idiozia" have continued to address issues like social injustice, inequality, and corruption. Their sound evolved with albums like "Na.99.10" and "Rafaniello / Salario Garantito", showcasing their ability to meld different musical styles while continuing to voice resistance through their art. With "Curre Curre Guagliò 2.0", they breathed new life into their classic anthems, reaffirming their relevance in the contemporary music scene and their commitment to the causes they champion.
