Cor Veleno is an influential Italian hip-hop group that emerged from the vibrant Roman rap scene. Composed of members Primo Brown (who passed away in January 2016), Grandi Numeri, and DJ Squarta, the group is known for blending raw lyrics with solid beats, creating a sound that's both gritty and reflective of the urban landscape from which they hail. Since their formation in the late 1990s, they have been regarded as key figures in the Italian underground hip-hop movement, gaining a loyal following with their authentic storytelling and sharp social commentary.

With their most recent releases like "Fuoco Sacro," featuring the well-respected Colle Der Fomento, and "Meme K Ultra," Cor Veleno continues to cement their legacy within the Italian rap scene. Their music often explores themes of city life, personal struggles, and the pursuit of artistic freedom, as seen in tracks such as "A me di Roma piace il rap" and "La gente libera." Throughout their career, they've maintained a consistent presence in the industry, evolving with the times but never losing the edge that makes them distinctive, as showcased in songs like "Lo Spirito Che Suona" and "Tutta la vita." Despite the loss of Primo Brown, the group's influence and contribution to Italian hip-hop remain indelible, reflected in the impactful storytelling of tracks like "Shut Tha Fuck Up," "Nuovo Nuovo," "Diamanti," and "Ottimo."
