Background

edit

After his underground success with his second studio album Mr. Simpatia he signed a contract with Universal Music, a major label, and this was considered a betrayal by his older fans, so he decided to call the album Tradimento, which means betrayal. But even if he signed with a major label he decided to keep his hardcore style which attacks various political and social downsides.[3]
