Comunisti col Rolex is a collaborative album by Italian hip hop artists J-Ax and Fedez,released in January 2017 by Sony Music Italy and Newtopia. [2] [3]
In an interview in 2016,Fedex and J-Ax revealed they had planned an album of 30 duets with a variety of successful artists,both Italian and international. [4]
The album was preceded by the singles "Vorrei ma non posto",which became a hit during the summer of 2016,and "Assenzio",released in November 2016. [2] On 21 November 2016,the duo revealed the title of the album, [5] and on 9 December the release date and tracklist,alongside the list of stars featuring on the album were announced. [6] "Piccole cose" was released as the album's third single on 20 January 2017, [7] while "Senza pagare",featuring T-Pain,was released as the album's fourth single on 20 May 2017. [8]
According to the artists,the title Comunisti col Rolex originated from "an insult,which we wanted to turn into a merit:to say that in Italy you can still get rich honestly,and that is a beautiful thing." [9]
The album was preceded by two singles,the first of which,"Vorrei ma non posto" was made available for digital download and promoted by a video released on YouTube the same day. The video was among the top 100 viewed videos worldwide at the end of the month of its release. [10] [11]
The fourth single from the album,"Senza pagare",released 12 May 2017,which featured American rapper and producer T-Pain,was promoted with a videoclip filmed in Paris Hilton's house,which also became popular. [12]
On 27 October 2017 the previously unheard single "Sconosciuti da una vita" was released. [13] This single preceded the re-release of the album,which featured five unreleased songs and a live CD and DVD. [14]
