Italian trap rapper Sfera Ebbasta has been releasing for a good minute but recently, he penned a deal with Def Jam to release his latest project Rockstar which dropped earlier today. The Italian rapper is shining light on Italy's hip hop scene and he's doing a great job at it. The project doesn't have many features but he did grab Quavo for a cut. Today, the two of them connect on an album highlight on "Cupido."
Sfera Ebbasta grabs hip hop's melody master, Quavo, for "Cupido." Ebbasta's parts are done in Italian but the melodies fall in line with this trap-pop subgenre that's emerged in the past few years. Quavo comes through with a solid verse that falls in line with his feature on Camilla Cabello's "OMG."
This is the second pop feature from Quavo is the past two days. Yesterday, he connected with newcomer, Livvia for her single "Catch A Body."
Quotable Lyrics
You didn't see nothin'
I'm with the foreign, out the country
I'm whippin' dope out in Italy
Cupido Huncho is they feelin' me
