Rancore, the stage name of Tarek Iurcich, is one of the most original and innovative voices on the Italian music scene. A rapper, author, and performer, he has built a unique artistic language over the years, capable of intertwining hip hop, poetry, storytelling, and linguistic experimentation.
Active since his teens, he established himself as a leading figure in Italian rap thanks to his visionary writing and extraordinary technical skill, developing an expressive research that he himself defines as HermeticHipHop. After albums that became points of reference such as Silenzio and Musica per Bambini, he won over the general public with his appearances at the Sanremo Festival alongside Daniele Silvestri and with the song Eden, winning the Sergio Bardotti Award for best lyrics on multiple occasions.
In 2022, he released Xenoverso, an ambitious narrative project that further expanded his creative universe and led him to perform at major Italian festivals and cultural events. His artistic activity transcends the boundaries of music, also finding a place in schools, workshops, literary festivals, and educational programs dedicated to writing and the spoken word.
In 2026, he inaugurates a new phase of his journey with Tarek da Colorare, a work that reflects on language, identity, and the possibilities of the imagination. An artist capable of transforming rap into narrative, research, and vision, while always maintaining an original perspective on contemporary reality.
