"Ernia acknowledges a shift in the hip-hop scene: 'I'm grateful for what I have, no longer satisfied with a sense of invincibility among rappers'"
Ernia's 'For Money and for Love': A Personal Journey
Ernia, the Italian rapper known as Matteo Professione, is set to release his latest album, 'For Money and for Love,' on Friday. This album, according to Ernia, is the most personal of his career, touching upon themes of family, work, and personal growth.
The album was remade with the help of Charlie Charles, and the collaboration is evident in the album's cohesive sound. One of the standout tracks, 'Grateful,' expresses Ernia's gratitude for his current life despite feelings of boredom and unsatisfaction.
Ernia's newborn daughter has brought a beautiful experience into his life, and this is reflected in the album's content. The lighter piece, 'Berlin,' tells the story of Ernia's relationship with his sister, who is a photographer and serves as an example of dignity for him.
The title track, 'For Money and for Love,' serves as a reminder of what the important things in life are. The theme of the album, as expressed in the title track, is the conflict between money and love, with Ernia's verdict being that love wins.
The album consists of twelve tracks, including collaborations with The Dogo, Kid Yugi, Marracash, Madame, and Marra. The collaboration with The Dogo resulted in the track 'Son,' while the collaboration with Kid Yugi resulted in the diss track 'Fellini.'
Ernia has been serene about the changes that come with parenthood, and this serenity is reflected in the album's overall tone. In the title track, Ernia discusses his bond with the people closest to him.
The track 'To Denounce,' featuring Marra, dates back to 2021 and was reworked for the album. The song 'For Their Eyes' is about Ernia's relationship with his parents and his sister.
Despite his success, Ernia does not attend dinners to network. Instead, he spends time with his real friends who have normal jobs and have never asked him for favors. This emphasis on authentic relationships is a recurring theme throughout the album.
Overall, 'For Money and for Love' is a deeply personal album that reflects Ernia's experiences and values. It serves as a testament to his growth as an artist and a person, and it is a must-listen for fans of Italian hip-hop.
