Two unpublished: My dogs And With my brothers and sixteen new collaborations to refresh This is not a dog, the album that Claver Gold released in 2022 and which evidently still had something to say, to express, to communicate. The rapper from Ascoli Piceno is born Daycol Orsini, he was born in 1986 and trained musically in Bologna, dividing his time between the Academy of Fine Arts and the stages of social centres. From then on his career was a constant climb into the depths of conscious rap, a discipline that borders on pure songwriting of which he became one of the greatest exponents. «I believe that this album is, thematically speaking, still contemporary – he says to Open – that speaks to people about hunger, poverty, love, war, class struggle…but to have a new life I needed colleagues and friends who could fill the story with a new story». Thus the calls for the new project began and the tracklist finally offers, among others, names of the caliber of Davide Shorty, an excellent couple like Danno and Kaos, Dutch Nazari, Tormento and Murubutu, all lyricists of the highest level, no wink at the streaming market. «I understand that in more commercial projects – he explains again – there are ad hoc featurings to make a record more accessible», but this is not the case with Claver Gold, who instead chooses the functionality, the effectiveness he wants for his own narrative . This new version of This is not a dog in fact it is a definitive album, which allows a rapid and intense perception of Claver Gold’s rap universe.
