Both artists originated from northern Italy and rose to prominence in the 2010s, with Sfera Ebbasta becoming notable for popularizing trap-influenced production, melodic flows, and lavish, street-oriented imagery, while Shiva is known for a mix of melodic rap, trap beats and collaborations within the same scene. Their music typically features electronic/trap production, autotuned vocals, and themes common to modern urban rap, and both have been active contributors to Italy’s commercial rap landscape since the mid-2010s.
