Super Demo,Salerno, New York, Amsterdam
There are rappers in Countryside who over the years have always been hidden and on the sidelines. Hip Hop heads rare as pearls, able to jam rhymes like no one else and with a unique attitude. Angelo Ziccardi aka Super D Zeta 1K is one of them. As a producer it was my duty to make sure that his name remains in history. Producing a record for him was the least. Making people listen to him a duty.
This is how Doc Ketamer, CEO of Klan Muzik Lab, presented the official record of Super D Zeta 1K. This rapper, class ’77, has been hanging out in the Hip Hop scene since his teenage days when, while attending the Salerno art institute “Filiberto Menna,” he met his teacher of “shooting development and photographic printing” Paolo Romano aka Sha-One. While at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, he came into contact with the Partenopean scene and formed friendships with many Mcs of the time including Doc Ketamer, who, in 2019, convinced him to record in the studio and work on an official album for Klan Muzik Lab.
The album’s title, Super Demo, partly echoes the artist’s name and he himself calls it “a record made by veterans.” Super D Zeta 1K and Doc Ketamer, who produced each track, offer a Boom Bap of old-style productions but with modern twists. The concpet of the album in fact, typically Lo Fi and hardcore, is that of an underground album in which the jamming style becomes the protagonist with a true tribute to the years and atmospheres of the past. Super Demo is an authentic and genuine album that evokes the old school period of Italian Hip Hop and that, because of its attitude, could have been written today as well as yesterday.
The artist, without video clips and showing himself as little as possible, maintains his integrity by moving away from the modern mechanisms of social networks and interviews, wanting to let only the record speak for itself.
Following the concept that merges the past with the modern, Super Demo is available digitally but also in physical media thanks to a USB that takes the form of a musicasette. A special mention should be made of the features that, as in the symbolism of 41st Parallel of The Family, connect Naples to New York with the participation of the likes of General Steele (Smiff’n’Wessun), Tek (Smiff’n’Wessun) and Ruste Juxx (DuckDown Records). Super Demo is an interesting project and worked in every detail. A very rare record considering the speed and lascivious way in which record products are released today.
