SFERA EBBASTA & J BALVIN JOIN FORCES FOR “BABY”

After the release of his album FAMOSO, international superstar Sfera Ebbasta unloads the video for the standout single, “Baby” with J Balvin.

The new album, FAMOSO, was released on November 20th, has been welcomed internationally with a standing ovation. All 13 tracks debuted at the top 200 Global Spotify chart while disintegrating all past records and achieving new heights for Italian albums. It received 16M streams in 24 hours while climbing the first 13 positions in the Italian top 50 chart on Spotify. Famosa is the most-streamed album ever on release date on Spotify and the 2nd most-streamed album Globally.

Sfera Ebbasta flexes as a major player in the game with the release of the video for the international focus track, “Baby” with J Balvin.

J Balvin expressed the wish to see the birth of a truly international Latin gang, an artistic partnership between Italy, Colombia and the whole Latin world. “Baby” marks the beginning of a journey destined to bring Italian music where it has rarely landed. Sfera and J Balvin met when the king of the trap made a remix of the track “Machika”. In the film Famoso, directed by Pepsy Romanoff and distributed worldwide by Amazon Prime video, the Colombian artist talks about his relationship with Sfera:

“At the time of the “Machika” remix I didn’t know him personally, but now we’re friends. There is nothing planned, no strategy, just a true friendship. One day I went to Italy, I looked at what was happening in the music world and there were 5 Sfera tracks at the top of the chart. I said to myself: and where is my music? (Editor’s note laughs) - and then adds - It’s a real movement! And for this, I respect my little brother because yes ... he is like a brother to me! He is a big star in Italy and I think he will soon be one everywhere. He has all my support and my respect. I really think we are at the beginning of a real worldwide Latin gang and I want to see my people win,” explained J Balvin.

In the video directed by Mattia Benetti and produced by Ocean Code Studio, we see Sfera and J Balvin together for the first time, immersed in a parallel universe, in those fantasy worlds where everything seems possible; golden statues emerging from the sea, sharks swimming over the city skyline and purple skies where gigantic planets stand out in a magnetic, almost hypnotic way. Between mermaids swimming above Sfera’s car and landscapes like el dorado, the song, produced by Sky Rompiendo, with its up tempo makes us understand why it has been chosen as the first international focus single and how it is possible that in only four days after its release, “Baby” is already a hit. The track is already at #1 on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and Youtube Italy.

Under the artistic direction of Charlie Charles, Famosa is the most important album in Sfera’s career, a boy who comes from nowhere and has never had help of any kind and who together with extraordinary teamwork, managed to become the most important Italian recording phenomenon in recent history. Results such as the one achieved by “Baby”, certify his entry into the very small circle of European artists who are truly recognized, respected, and above all listened to in the world. However, knowing the hunger of Sfera Ebbasta, his desire to continually improve himself, we are only at the beginning.

Italian rapper Gionata Boschetti (aka Sfera Ebbasta) was born and raised in Cinisello Balsamo in 1992,a fact that he often referenced in his music. At the young of 13, his father passed away, leaving Sfera responsible for his mother and sister —a responsibility he coped with by writing rhymes. Together with his friend and producer Charlie Charles they founded their own brand, Billionheadz, through which they released merchandise and music; their first release was a mixtape titled XDVR Reloaded. Cinisello Balsamo — or Ciny as they referred to it —was located just outside of Milan, and in order to further pursue their dreams, both Sfera and Charlie moved to the bigger city, giving them access to a wider variety of media opportunities. By 2016, Sfera released his debut self-titled and Tinie Tempah jumped at the chance to

album; this time through publication deals with Universal and Def Jam. Sfera Ebbasta featured two collaborative tracks with French rapper SCH, “Balenciaga” and “Cartine Cartier.” In 2018, His album “Rockstar” became the most Italian streamed artist ever, with over 700million streams, 5xplatinums and collabs like Quavo, Tinie Tempah, Rich The Kid, Lary Over and Miami Yacine and for the first time ever, he had seven tracks on the 200 Global Spotify Chart. Since then he hasn’t stopped, collaborating with massive Italian and international artists.

Racking up over a billion and a half streams and views plus eighty-seven platinum records, the biggest rapper in Italy and the country’s most prominent artist Sfera fourth full-length album and proper North American debut, Famosa, today.

He preceded the 13-track project with the confessional, yet catchy single “ Bottiglie Prive? .” Within just a few weeks, it has already amassed over 12.4 million streams, while the music video generated 3.7 million YouTube views and counting. At the same time, he impressively averages over 4 million monthly listeners on Spotify plus eightyseven platinum records . He ignites Famosa with the new single “ Baby ” with J Balvin . Joined by Balvin , he pops off with a cross-cultural banger of epic proportions, fusing countries and styles.
