FACTS ON WAX/POST- GAZETTE/
Press Release: Los
Angeles, CA – June.1/2009 -Italian-Canadian rapper/producer Carvelli is set
to release his latest EP The Movement. Included in this release is his smash
single of the same name, which is a call to all rappers and hip-hop lovers
of Italian heritage to band together and create their own world-wide
movement. “I am proud of my Italian heritage having grown up immersed in
Italian culture and customs. I’d like to put some Italian influence into
this great music known as hip-hop, and bring it to the attention of the
world.” This Movement that Carvelli speaks of, is in his opinion, a way for
Italian artists to come together and create additional outlets for Italian
musicians who are into hip-hop, and rap music. “ There are many Italian rap
and hip-hop artists that are never seen or heard of because there is a lack
of exposure of these artists in the genre. By trying to bring more of us
together, I believe that it will open doors not only for great
collaborations, but a massive amount of exposure. There is a lot of Italian
style and culture that is used in mainstream hip-hop today. And let’s not
forget the mob references and nicknames that are used all of the time”, says
Carvelli. “I’m a soldier of The Movement”, raps Carvelli in his explosive
new track. In fact, it’s best to view Carvelli as a General, seeking to
recruit and rally converts to a cause he holds dear. The Movement serves as
a compelling anthem for that cause.
Carvelli has come a long way since the days of hanging out at poker clubs
with his father as a kid. Admitting that these clubs were no place for a kid
to be, he does admit to the slight influence they had on him. “There was no
way a kid should have been in there, the smoke, the cards, the money, but
there I was. I guess because of that I always had a feeling it was cool to
be where people said you shouldn’t go”, states Carvelli. This attitude
explains why he has chosen hip-hop as his art form of choice. “I love
hip-hop music and it’s culture, and I love Italian music and my culture. I
should represent both. People talked about Eminem when he came on the scene,
and how he shouldn’t be in the rap game. Well, he proved them wrong. Not
only is he a great MC, he is an inspiration to kid’s around the world who
don’t fit the typical hip-hop mold”, explains Carvelli. The Movement will be
the second release for Carvelli. In 2006 he released the radio-friendly hit
song and video Hooah Hooah which received heavy rotation on radio, and
international exposure on the popular music channel, MTV. Hooah Hooah was
downloaded over 200,000 times at
