As a teen, Vito Paparella assured himself future stardom by wowing judges at talent contests with his pliable and sharp flow—and winning the 2013 season of MTV Spit in his native Italy. Innately multitalented, he veered into stand-up, film and television before he exploded onto the national music scene with a flurry of releases. On “Autostop” and “La hit dell’estate" he lays out party-starting choruses over tinkling keyboards. Meanwhile, “Stronza bipolare” and “Truman” touch on mental-health issues, showing that he’s capable of more than radio-friendly pop-rap.
