Tedua

Tedua, pseudonym of Mario Molinari, was born in Genoa. At the age of three he was entrusted to a family, with whom the young Mario will remain for a very short time; then he spent a few years with his maternal grandmother in Milan, then returned to adolescence in the town of Cogoleto, in the suburbs of Genoa, where he grew up coming into contact with those who will then be members of the Wild Bandana. Through the school, at the age of 13 Mario meets Vaz Tè, through which he will meet Izi. The three, who will then be joined by other boys, will begin to devote themselves to musical activity, giving themselves soon names of art: Molinari will choose Incubo (Nightmare), nominative then abandoned in favor of Duate.

The musical style of Tedua approaches essentially to the drill. From this point of view, the critique has expressed itself in a non-homogeneous way regarding the style of Tedua, expressing sometimes satisfaction, sometimes disapproval of the artistic innovation of the rapper of Cogoleto. Drill sounds, however, respond to the flow of consciousness that underlies the music of Tedua, which is always a verbal expression of thoughts and experiences of life.

Tedua has often claimed to have been stylistically inspired by the Italian rapper Dargen D'Amico, from whom he inherited the vision of music as a stream of consciousness: not surprisingly, in the Mowgli disc is contained a piece, Acqua (malpensandoti), whose refrain is a resumption of D'Amico's Malpensandoti.

In addition to the Milanese rapper, Tedua's sources of inspiration include musically Chief Keef and Fedez.
