Sfera Ebbasta is an Italian rapper who rose to prominence through trap music, achieving significant commercial success and holding records for chart-topping singles and albums in Italy.

Sfera Ebbasta’s prolific output continued into recent years, achieving further commercial success.

In 2021, his collaboration with Blanco, ‘Mi fai impazzire,’ peaked at number one on the Italian charts and earned an impressive 9x Platinum certification. He continued international ventures with the release of ‘Italiano Anthem’ and ‘Mamma mia,’ both with Rvssian in 2022. The following year, 2023, saw the release of his track ‘Orange’ with Luciano, alongside features on ‘Location’ with Noizy and ‘Milano’ with Bia and Fivio Foreign. His album X2VR was released in 2023, featuring the single ‘Anche stasera’ with Elodie.
