Luchè

Luchè (born Luca Imprudente, Naples, 7 January 1981) is an Italian rapper, producer and label executive. Raised in Marianella, on the northern outskirts of Naples, he first gained recognition as one half of the influential duo Co’Sang alongside Ntò, helping define the sound of Neapolitan street rap in the 2000s and co-founding the Poesia Cruda collective.

After the group’s breakup in 2012, he launched a solo career with L1 (2012) and L2 (2014), blending Southern rap with contemporary Italian hip hop. During this period he also lived between Italy and London, where he co-founded the pizzeria Bravi Ragazzi with CoCo.

His third album Malammore (2016), released via Universal Music Group, expanded his mainstream reach, followed by Potere (2018), which debuted at No. 1 in Italy and later spawned the deluxe edition Il giorno dopo.

In 2019 he founded the independent label BFM Music, launching artists such as CoCo, Geolier, MV Killa and Vale Lambo.

He returned to the top of the Italian charts with Dove volano le aquile (2022), his first release for Columbia Records. In 2024 he reunited with Ntò for the Co’Sang comeback album Dinastia, and in 2025 issued his sixth solo project Il mio lato peggiore, further cementing his status as a key figure in modern Italian rap.
