 One of the first hip hop crews to catch the attention of the Italian mainstream was Milan's Articolo 31, then and still today produced by Franco Godi, who had written the soundtrack to the animated TV series "Signor Rossi" in the 1970s.The European Music Office's report on "Music in Europe" claimed that, in general, hip hop from the south of Italy tends to be harder than that from the north.In the early '80s, hip-hop spread to Italy, alongside Jamaican raggamuffin, especially in centri sociali, alternative centers where several left-wing young people regularly meet.
