Italian urban icon BABY GANG is back in the spotlight with his gold-certified album ‘ L'Angelo del Male ’ and 2 billion streams on Spotify. Fans will finally get the chance to experience his live performances and feel the raw intensity of his music up close.
From October, the icon of urban music will take to the stage with his LA FINE DEL MONDO Tour (via Trident Music), bringing with him the energetic performances, strong connection with the audience and razor-sharp lyrics that have earned him international acclaim. The tour will take him across Europe: Baby Gang was the most streamed Italian rapper on Spotify in 2023 and has collaborated with global stars such as LACRIM, JUL, RAF CAMORA and MORAD.
Finally free to devote himself fully to his music and his fans, Baby Gang embodies the voice of second-generation Italian youth, reflecting their experiences and dreams of a future based on respect and equality. The tour begins with The End Of The World European Tour, which takes him to the most famous venues in Europe and ends in December with three concerts in Italy. The Italian rap star will also make a stop at Zurich's X-TRA on 31 October 2024.
Musical manifesto
His latest highly acclaimed album is ‘ L'Angelo del Male ’ (No Parla Tanto Records / Warner Music Italy), which is available in digital format. It's like a manifesto from Baby Gang, depicting the raw and true story of a young man in his early twenties, describing his struggles, pain and triumphs with brutal honesty, free from pretence or hypocrisy. The album features some of the biggest names on the Italian rap scene, further cementing Baby Gang's importance in today's urban music landscape: Sfera Ebbasta, Geolier, Marracash, Blanco, Lazza, and many more.
The person behind the artist
Zaccaria Mouhib was born on 26 June 2001 in Lecco (Italy) as the son of Moroccan immigrants. He left his family at the age of just eleven to avoid causing them additional financial difficulties, but he was soon confronted with the harsh prejudices of modern society due to his origins. Growing up on the streets with no fixed place to sleep and no role models led to occasional run-ins with the law. But thanks to music, he discovered that his voice could not be ignored. His first track ‘ Street ’, which he released on YouTube at the age of 17, brought him unexpected success. With the support of Don Claudio Burgio from the Kayros association, Baby Gang began to believe in his artistic abilities and entered a new phase of his life. Throughout his rise in the charts, one constant remained: his social and political decision to sing with pride about his origins and the hardships he had endured.
