Inoki (rapper)

Inoki at a Jam Session (April 2012)

Inoki, also known as Inoki Ness, pseudonym of Fabiano Ballarin (Rome, October 2, 1979), is an Italian rapper and record producer. ^[1]

It owes its nickname to its old Enok tag, which he later associates with the Old Testament character Enoch. "Ness", on the other hand, is a Bolognese slang expression to indicate who "knows". Furthermore, as he himself stated, the stage name also derives from Antonio Inoki, a well-known Japanese wrestler. ^[2]
