YO!  Not for nuttin' but saluti, aint it?  Welcome to theitalianrapper.com, the online home of Bobby Braciola, the original Italian Rapper.  Bobby Braciola is an Italian-American entertainer whose career has spanned 20 years performing comedic raps written by him from his perspective as a paisan.  Bobby's first big radio hit "I'm  a Spaccone" was an immediate smash hit and a  hilarious start to a discography that would include the holiday classic "Everyone's Italian on Christmas Eve", which proudly and amusingly described the tradition of so many Italian families.  Now live on iTunes.  No self-respecting paisano should be without these gems in their personal music collections.  And the funny releases continued with "Madonna, you Putana"“,Bikinis and Tortellinis"“,Godfathers"“,Christopher Columbus (The First Paisan in the New World)"“,Doin' Life with the Wife"“,Cuties wit da Booties" and more.

 Bobby had roles in several films including Michael Corrente's "Federal Hill", the critically acclaimed "Tax Day", got whacked in "Used Guyz”, and played himself in "Italian Americans and Federal Hill".

 His musical consiglieri include Guido Fettuccine, Lonnie Parmigiani, Tony Provolone, Tommy Salami, Rhonda Rollatini, Connie Capicola, Mc Bow Tie, Katie Calamari, Kool King Swing, and The Wizzard,  

 In 2008, Bobby decided to turn one of his stand-up routines, "The 10 Steps of Disco Dancin'" into a retro disco line dance jam called "Chooch to Gooch (The 10 Steps of Disco Dancin')".  He and Guido    Fettuccine spent countless hours in the studio writing, recording and producing this disco masterpiece.  With an amazing group of musical artists; studio greats like Vinnie Lato on sax, vocalists Rhonda, Katie and of course, the unmistakable delivery of Bobby "The Big Spaccone" Braciola, "Chooch to Gooch" was created and the funniest line dance ever was about to be unleashed on the world.

But before the song could be released, the dancers had to know the moves.  The music video had to educate the players.  Bobby Braciola and Guido fettuccine hooked up with director and film professor David Bettencourt ('You Must be this Tall", the Rocky Point Movie, "On the Lake" and "Neutral Nation: It's a Bash") and the rest is history.  Shooting on location throughout the video, they orchestrated a hilarious production that matched the energy of the song.

      

Released live on iTunes, Rhapsody and Amazon.com between St. Joseph's Day and Easter 2010, "Chooch to Gooch (the 10 steps of disco dancin')" is now available for all to hear, see and download.  The video is officially viral on YouTube with five stars and 10,000 views in its first week, featured on g-4 network's "Attack of the Show" and has a solid 99% funny rating on Will Ferrell’s site funnyordie.com.
