Italian artist Petrolio unveils his most personal track to date, “Io e te”—a vulnerable, soul-searching piece that captures the complexity of making peace with oneself. The song blends rap, reflection, and raw emotion into a powerful moment of musical catharsis.

Written during a period of deep inner turmoil, “Io e te” explores the feeling of being lost in time, haunted by memories, regrets, and fragmented joys. Through lyrical imagery that ranges from “crooked laughter” and “parking at sunset” to “wasted dreams” and “the desire to rise again”, the track becomes a mirror: one that reflects who we were, what we’ve lost, and what we might still reclaim.

As a writer, rapper, and former drummer, Petrolio brings a distinct voice to the Italian music scene—one rooted in philosophy, psychology, and poetic realism. His sound fuses the grit of 90s rap with layered influences from across the 20th century, from Charleston-era rhythms to contemporary textures. His artistic identity is shaped not just by music, but by thought and lived experience.
