Italian rapper Jake La Furia got his start in the Sacre Scuole group, which evolved into Club Dogo and then Dogo Gang in the early 2000s. Born in Milan on February 25, 1979, Francesco Vigorelli had already been a rap fan for several years when he joined forces with Guè Pequeno and Dargen D'Amico in 1999. After a decade of success, he decided to pursue a solo career, and the following year released his debut album Musica commerciale (2013), which immediately hit No. 2 in the charts, as did the follow-up Fuori da qui in 2016, featuring a duet with Luca Carboni on the title track. Likewise, hit after hit on the charts, such as "Gli anni d'oro" (No. 12) and "El Party" (No. 6), featuring Alessio La Profunda Melodia. Now a radio host, he continues to take part in multiple collaborations, such as the single "F.A.K.E." with Don Joe and Marracash in 2019 or the album 17 with Emis Killa in 2020, which lands at the top of the Italian charts, emblazoned with the hit "L'ultima volta" (no. 9), featuring Massimo Pericolo. In 2022, his third album Ferro del mestiere, at No. 5, features duets with Lazza, Emis Killa, Paky, Inoki, Ana Mena, Noyz Narcos and Yung Snapp. In 2024, Jake La Furia appeared on TV in the X Factor judging panel, in between studio sessions for his fifth album Fame (2025), which was his early name as a graffiti artist. Featuring collaborations with Guè and Rkomi, Kid Yugi, Noyz Narcos, Papa V and Tony Boy, Artie 5ive and Rose Villain, Nerissima Serpe, Ernia, Anice, Bresh and Alborosie, it reached No. 3 on release.
