From the symphony orchestra of the Sanremo Festival 2024, with which he had performed 100 messagesto the Milan Symphony Orchestra conducted by Maestro Enzo Campagnoli, who had also accompanied in 2023 on the stage of the Festival with Ash. This is how Locura N°1 presents itself, in Piazzale Angelo Moratti with behind the San Siro stadium in Milan for a show introduced by a pre-live hosted by the streamer Blur and Nerone.

That it would not be a “usual” listening party was clear from Lazza’s choice to be accompanied by the Milan Symphony Orchestra conducted by Maestro Enzo Campagnolias well as by his trusted producer Drillionaire. So how was Locura N°1? Surely the expectations for this album reflect the choice of wanting to test the first reaction of the audience, at several points of the evening enthusiastic about what was happening on stage. There is not only the euphoria for a project that will be released in two weeks to charge the environment, which does not leave room for prayer in singing a cappella Never Diedonly after a piano note: a similar reaction, in the hip hop imagination, could recall, in proportion, what has happened several times to Kanye West with the first note of Runaway. But of the 8 tracks performed in the last few hours there is much more than a bond with one’s audience to strengthen.
From Sfera Ebbasta to Ghali, the first guests of Locura
Also because if Syria It managed to rank as one of the most successful musical episodes in recent years, consecrating Lazza’s career, Craziness will need not to retreat an inch. And the energy, one of the distinctive traits of the Milanese author, was not lacking since his entrance on stage welcomed with two unreleased songs: but Locura N°1 is also the first showcase for the guests of this album.
After the urgent songs, Vinicio Capossela wants to have fun: here is the album and tour “Conciati per le feste”
The first one is presented like this: “We’ve known each other for almost twenty years, we started doing freestylebut we hadn’t done a song together yet, finally we met in the studio and it happened. I really believe in this song“. A Ghali goes on stage, preceded by the classic “Sto“, also used in Lazza’s stanzas. He is only the first guest of the evening, but as anticipated on X by Lazza himself: “In Milan, one crown is not enough“. And after the collaboration with Ghali, Sfera Ebbasta arrives on stage with the feat in a song that should be titled Fentanyl.
Lazza reveals the name of the child he will have with Greta Orsingher
There will be eight songs played on stage by Lazza with the Milan Symphony Orchestra conducted by maestro Enzo Campagnoli, as well as by his trusted producer Drillionaire. A taste of what will be revealed in the coming weeks, also because it is difficult to expect that in a project with expectations, not only musical, only Sfera Ebbasta and Ghali will appear as guests.
Before leaving the stage, Lazza spoilers that the last track is the “his father’s favoriteas Replay had been on the previous album“. But not only that, because in addition to the release date of Craziness, Lazza also revealed the name of his sonwhich he will have with his partner Greta Orsingher in the next few months: her name will be Noa.
