Fabri Fibra

Fabrizio Tarducci (born 17 October 1976), known professionally as Fabri Fibra, is an Italian rapper. In his career he has sold more than 2.3 million certified copies.

Tarducci was born in Senigallia, Italy. He became interested in music from a young age; he wrote and performed his first piece when he was 17 years old.

In 1995 he recorded his first demo. He created the tandem Uomini di Mare with DJ Lato, beatmaker and deejay, and in 1996 they produced the underground CD Dei del mare quest'el gruv. In 1999 Fabri and Lato produced and distributed the LP Sindrome di fine millennio, with collaborations from El Presidente (also known as Esa), Inoki, Joe Cassano and his brother Nesli.

Following his underground success, Fabri Fibra began performing around Italy. In 2000 he established his label and group Teste Mobili Records, and collaborated with various Italian rap groups, lending vocals as well as lyrics to the mixtape circuit. In his career he has sold more than two million certified copies.

In 2013 he campaigned for Adidas Originals, reinterpreting the song with Run-DMC and DJ A-Trak.

In 2002 Fabri released his first solo album, titled Turbe giovanili, for which he wrote and recorded his lyrics under the production and arrangement of Neffa. A year later Fabri distributed Lato e Fabri Fibra, which brought a close to the partnership with Lato and the Uomini di Mare project with aky il grande.

Nesli's Home and Fabri Fibra's Mr. Simpatia were released simultaneously on 1 September 2004.

Released in 2004, Mr. Simpatia is Fibra's second solo album. The instrumental bases were made by his younger brother, the rapper Nesli Rice, except for "Io non ti invidio" (made by Bassi Maestro) and the album's bonus track (by Bosca).
