Mr: Rossi by Papik Rossi

LA TECNOLOGIA DISTRAE My neighbourhood is hard to skate, we just got a couple of stones and the most modern thing is a statue of the legendary Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli, a roman poet... It took a little while to know the right people, the first jam session on the streets was unbelievable, an entire new world showed up, I will never forget that day, pure freedom; it was 1988.

The neighbourhood where I live is called "Trastevere" which in Latin means "across the Tiber", the Tiber is the city river, (some people say that in Etruscan language river is Rumen, so the name Rome comes from the Tiber). Thanks to this, I founded a label that I called TRUSTEVER, that sounds the same as my neighbourhood but it’s fresh because in a way this place is fresh... During the 70's it was full of smugglers, robbery and scooter bag-snatching, today is ok but there are too many boutiques and shou-shou shops... the main thing is a bar that foreign people call heroin, it's cheap and all kind of freaks go there... Anyway I nailed Trustever in 1996, the year where all the troubles started, bullshit people, fake partners, fake fresh, fake everything....the opposite of my concept. Shaft after shaft I decided to make a structure by myself based on skateboarding, music and good feelings...

As my father says: “the best way to make a company is an odd number smaller than 3� This book is confused, I really know this, but this is not the point, I mean, nowadays people buy shit, do shit and do the shit and they wanna rap, (not in the musical way) rap like an old farter, those who tell you not to skate or not love... I'm just trying to feel it, just buzzing here and there, skating hills, make things real, shit and garbage across my inner over head recently stoned for a liver smoke, the liver tastes like his name but it stones you like old school weed, maybe thinking about some past, and listen vinyls... This may I'll become dad so I'd like to dedicate this to my beautiful wife Cecilia and my future baby, I love you.
