Murubutu, the stage name of Italian rapper and educator Alessio Mariani, is a master storyteller blending literature, history, and hip-hop into vivid musical narratives. Hailing from Reggio Emilia, this former philosophy teacher turned wordsmith crafts concept-driven albums that feel like sonic novels, with tracks exploring everything from mythological themes in *Daimon* to rainy love stories in *Storie d'amore con pioggia*. His "didactic rap" style—rich with poetic imagery and references to flâneurs, cities, and emotional landscapes—turns albums like *La vita segreta delle città* and *Flaneur* into immersive urban diaries. A key figure in Italy’s underground scene since the late 2000s, Murubutu treats rap as a classroom where mythology, street life, and tender human moments collide over dusty beats.
