Mr. Pink

Chris Bacon

Back On is the first home made mixtape by Mr. Pink and Chris Bacon. It is their first attempt on bringing the sample-based experimental technique of rap music to Italy, going through the use of samples on samples, live modulation of distortion and echo machines. Back On is the debut album of an MC who's mostly known in the peninsula for his free-style militia, who know wants to work with his audio visual artistic collective GDM, in order to bring his metrics in Europe and not to the Bel Paese only, debuting even before the release of his album with live performances in Glasgow (UK) and Sardinia (IT). 
Imagine the alternative-rap world of Mike, Jadasea, MAVI, Action Bronson and Earl Sweatshirt, the duo uses samples from the 2000s indie rock world, Mark Hollis, surf rock music, psychedelic and stoner British rock from the 60s and obviously, soul. 
Just when the Italian rap music scene seems to be more about selling copies and doing what's been done: here comes a performance that wants to experiment with old sounds, bring back the lost techniques and making something that could be more performative and won't be based around the capitalization of arts.
