Sfera Ebbasta

Gionata Boschetti, better known as the Italian rapper Sfera Ebbasta, dropped out of school early and spent his time working on music with his friend and collaborator, producer Charlie Charles. He was seen as an emerging talent in Italy in 2013, forming Billion Headz Money Gang (BHMG) which sold music and merchandise. Their first release was the album XDVR (2015). This was originally released as a free download but later released commercially with extra tracks and was popular with the underground music scene in Italy.
