Artificial Kid
Artificial Kid is the name of an experimental project of "cyberpunk" rap, born from the minds of StabbyoBoy, Danno (Colle der Fomento) and DJ Craim. The project started in the second half of 2008 and materialized in 2009 with the release of "Artificial Kid - Number 47". It is a concept album of nine tracks to manifest the group. With electronic hip hop sounds created by the sampler and synthesizers of StabbyoBoy, scratches from Dj Craim, lyrics by Danno it tells in nine short episodes the vision of a near future, characterized by an invasive presence of technology and the media as a population control tool, where a prototype of the new cyborg (the Artificial Kid number 47) fights his own war against the system that created it. Supported by original graphic design by the comic artist Champa, the Artificial Kid project summarizes in thirty minutes the passion of its three members for the cyber science fiction of the past twenty years, with strong literary references to Gibson, Sterling, Dick, Orwell, and musical influences from the likes of Carpenter, Vangelis, Company Flow and Non Phixion.
Members: Dj Craim, Simone Eleuteri, and Stefano Tartaglini
