Initially known under the pseudonym of
Scheggia, the rapper began to make his name known within the
Italian hip hop scene in 1993, when he performed together with
Grandi Numeri at the Palladium, on the occasion of the Zulu Party. Thus begins to form the first nucleus of the musical group
Cor Veleno (in which
DJ Squarta will also be present), so much so that this name is also mentioned in an episode of the broadcast Italy in direct, conducted by the presenter
Alda D'Eusanio, in which Primo and Grandi Numeri performed in connection by the
Circolo degli Artisti. Track 21 Tyson will then be released under the name Cor Veleno, present in the mixtape of the Rome Zoo collective dedicated to
Roman hip hop, entitled
La banda der trucido. The debut with an official album of the trio will then take place in 1999, with the release of the album
Sotto assedio, followed two years later by ''Rock 'n' Roll
, and then again with Heavy Metal
in 2004. Also in 2004, he participates in the 60 Hz album by DJ Shocca with what will become in the years to come one of his best known songs, Sempre grezzo
. In 2005 Primo recorded the Bomboclat
album with Squarta, while in 2006 Cor Veleno signed a contract with Sony Music, with which they released Nuovo Nuovo
in 2007 and Buona pace
two years later. In the meantime, Primo had released another album with Squarta, entitled Leggenda
, followed by Qui è selvaggio
, from which the song Cantano tutti'' (based on the Cucchi case) is extracted. Once published
Qui è selvaggio, Primo decides to devote himself to solo projects, as evidenced by the three volumes of the
Rap nelle mani mixtape, in which however there is no shortage of collaborations. The latest official project featuring Primo Brown is
El micro de oro, created together with rapper
Tormento and released in 2014 for the ThisPlay Music label. During the promotion period of the album, however, the artist finds himself having to announce the cancellation of the tour and the withdrawal of the scenes due to serious health problems, which will lead to his death on
New Year's Day 2016 at the age of 39 and was buried in the
Flaminio Cemetery. An evening in memory of the artist was organized on 25 March 2016 at the Atlantico club in Rome, which was filmed and made available on
YouTube one year after his death. The film
Zeta - a Hip-Hop Story by
Cosimo Alemà, released in 2016 and set in the world of
hip hop, was dedicated to his memory. == Discography ==
