Ernia, whose real name is Matteo Professione, is an Italian rapper hailing from Milan, who has made a significant mark in the Italian hip-hop scene. Born on November 19, 1993, he embarked on his musical journey in the early 2010s and quickly rose to prominence through his articulate rhymes and introspective storytelling. Ernia initially garnered attention with his debut mixtape 'Come Uccidere un Usignolo' in 2015, which set the tone for his introspective and often autobiographical lyrical content.

Following his early works, Ernia continued to showcase his evolution as an artist with a series of successful releases, which include his acclaimed albums '68' (2018) and its follow-up 'Gemelli' (2020). The latter, which translates to 'Twins' in English and references his zodiac sign Gemini, features notable tracks like "Gemelli" and "Superclassico." Ernia's ability to blend personal experiences with broader social commentary has earned him a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim within Italian urban music circles. In addition to his solo work, Ernia has collaborated with numerous artists, contributing to his dynamic presence in the industry. Tracks like "Per Un Fra," "Ricordi," and "PARAFULMINI" – a collaboration with fellow artists Bresh & Fabri Fibra – showcase his collaborative versatility and have further cemented his role as an influential voice among Italian rappers.
