KID YUGI is the protagonist of the new episode of Red Bull 64 Bars

Kid Yugi is the protagonist of the new episode of Red Bull 64 Bars, Red Bull's cult format that celebrates the essence of rap through writing and bars without filters and choruses.

After having redefined the boundaries of Italian rap with visionary and uncompromising writing – fresh from the success of his latest album ” Anche Gli Eroi Muoiono “, the first this year to have obtained the certification of 3 platinum discs – Kid Yugi confirms the status of one of the most distinctive and recognizable pens of the contemporary scene.

Between intense images, cultured references, autobiography and social criticism, the Apulian rapper builds a dense and cinematic narrative flow in which disillusionment and ambition, anger and vulnerability, province and personal mythology coexist.

The bars of “64 BARRE DI TERRORE (Red Bull 64 Bars)”, produced by DEPHA and Ill SANTO, cross the deep South, returning the portrait of a generation poised between the desire for redemption and the search for identity.

In “64 Barre di Terrore” social photography and extreme imagery coexist: from life “below the Gustav line” to an almost dystopian dimension in which success does not erase discomfort, but amplifies it. Kid Yugi alternates provocation, introspection and irony, staging all the contradictions that have made his artistic story unique in the Italian panorama.

The result is a performance that fully reflects the nature of Red Bull 64 Bars: a space where artists can express their identity in the purest form, relying solely on the power of writing, flow and vision.

Contrast is the beating soul of the performance. Kid Yugi interprets very tight rhymes, moving with ease between literary, cinematographic and historical quotes, from Aeschylus to Hiroo Onoda, Almodóvar and Michele Sindona, combined with the crudest and most real images of the gray areas of the Italian province.

With “64 BARS OF TERROR (Red Bull 64 Bars)”, Kid Yugi once again confirms the ability to transform the complexity of his imagination into powerful and personal writing, signing one of the most intense performances of the new season of Red Bull 64 Bars: the distorted and authentic photography of an artist who continues to rewrite the rules of his own language.

THE TEXT

Yeah, 64 Bars
Holy, Depha, Kid Yugi
Part two pieces of shit
Deep South below the Gustav Line
Ayahuasca pools inside a forest in Umbria
Hatred grows in children, something tumultuous
At school with a gun and this music in the headphones
Cat piss sniffed on a Turkish girl
With their faces covered but they don't have a Burqa
Stimulate her urethra with a finger until she squirts
They feel life is unfair and drink like a sponge
Belly swollen like Buddha ready to do bunga bunga
In Trap house with a senator who licks the envelope
My values vilify betrayal and slander
From this Tower of Babel I enjoy the burning world
Legendary parties Kid Yugi the Great Gatsby
Fasting without Ozempic Vodka Red Bull
I'm talking to my dog like Shaggy
And I don't even have a dog anymore, I only express myself in verse
Fraudulent multi-addicted criminals
But Guess Who doesn't appear in Epstein's files
Bounty 10 billion Berry on the head
Musician with hundreds, I am Giuseppe Verdi
They say mainstream I say thank fuck
I'm too strong for anonymity
I still rap like rent has to be paid
But I'm already on my third house and fourth car
I hate the state I hate the state
My people asked for help and this shit got ghosted
I'm in Massafra I'm posted I'm god incarnate
You don't believe it, touch my balls before the ribs
Every attempt to stop me is in vain
I have rap in my blood like a black man but I look like a Slav
Communist with two Rolex Fidel Castro
I have more gold than a king and more chains than a slave
My girlfriend is a blast and my life is just as bad
I spend entire days moping on the couch
Surrounded by material goods that don't help at all
I suffer from anxiety and panic a lot, this fame disgusts me
I see violence and then I get excited
Anyone who insults me uses terrible Italian
It's a contradiction in snow inside the parka
I lick pussy I'm a lesbian
You are good, I am Aeschylus
A little breather then
When a true genius comes into the world
This can be recognized by the fact that all idiots
They gang up on him

I'm still at war Hiroo Onoda
Fear lurks as panic knots itself
For me it's a need for you it's just a trend
No democracy I want anarchy Narcotopia
Extermination camps Puglia like Poland
I hang around with rude people like Almodóvar
Luck was a great lady with me
My shit is art you have to exhibit it at Moma
Narcissist I talk about myself in the third person
Vampirism holy water touches me and burns me
I instigate suicide and murder as a launderer
To the disuse of common sense and drug abuse
Ethanol memory lapses I rewrite history
Cup of coffee with polonium Michele Sindona
I break the chains and all the ferocity is released
Y3P P3 bottom of the large lodge
When a door closes, the great tomb opens
Your face takes punches until it deforms
You can call me kid yugi or seed of discord
A child conforms by copying what surrounds him
Sixty-four of terror deserve the gallows
I smoke until I'm cancerous, I drink until I'm in a coma
Karma does not exist, good does not return
Think the sponsor pays for this stuff
