Averagekidluke, Turisti, Ares, Jore & Zpoppa, and WILLEM are artists and collaborators associated with contemporary Italian hip hop and alternative rap scenes, active primarily in the 2010s and 2020s. Operating out of Italy, their work blends elements of trap, cloud rap, and lo-fi production with melodic vocal delivery, often incorporating introspective lyrics and internet-influenced aesthetics. Collaborations among these figures reflect a DIY approach to music-making, with an emphasis on beat-driven tracks, vocal interplay, and an experimental use of digital production tools characteristic of younger generations of Italian rappers and producers.
