Amir Issaa

Amir Issaa is a trailblazing Italian rapper, writer, and activist whose music pulses with social consciousness. Born in Rome to an Italian mother and Egyptian father, his mixed heritage fuels his art, tackling themes of immigration, identity, and systemic inequality. A key figure in Italy's hip-hop scene since the late '90s, tracks like "Facce nere" and "La notte è ancora lunga" showcase his razor-sharp lyricism about racial justice, while recent releases like "I BAMBINI DELLA GUERRA" and "Tempeste e uragani, Pt. II" continue his mission to amplify marginalized voices through gritty, narrative-driven beats.

Beyond music, Issaa walks the talk as an educator and community builder. He leads hip-hop writing workshops in schools and prisons, authored the memoir/manifesto *Vivo per questo* (This Is What I Live For), and collaborates globally – even co-creating Brazil's first Italian rap textbook. Whether dropping truth bombs in tracks like "Prendi la parola" or mentoring young creators, Issaa remains Rome's unflinching microphone for change, proving rap can be both firestarter and bridge-builder.
