Piotta, which in Roman dialect means "100 liras", became famous with his song "Supercafone" which describes the Coatto (Roman suburban impolite, politically incorrect chav).
Piotta's single "La Mossa del giaguaro" hit #15 on the Italian charts in 2000.
Now considered a "veteran" of Italian hip hop, Piotta set up a record label, La grande onda, with a focus on emerging Italian musicians. In 2015, he worked with Afrika Bambaataa for his album "Nemici".
