Biography

Francesco Tarducci was born in Senigallia, Italy on 29 December 1980. He was born the youngest of three siblings: Fabrizio (the well known Italian rapper Fabri Fibra), his older brother, and Federica, his older sister. As a boy he was described as shy, clumsy, and romantic as well as having an interest in tennis. During his days in secondary school, Tarducci was removed from school twice due to excessive unexcused absences. He remarked of that period as "the worst period of my life." It was also during this time that Tarducci began to take drugs with what started as marijuana habit that would finally progress into a cocaine habit. This lifestyle also led him to turn towards vandalism in his native Senigallia. In 1997, at the age of 16 years, a life altering event would occur. Tarducci, who at the time was fascinated by guns, would go on to accidentally shoot a friend of his leaving that friend in critical condition. The friend survived his injuries but Tarducci was sentenced to six months reform school. He recounts this story in his song "Un Giorno Qualunque", from the album "Le Verità Nascoste."

1999–2002: The Beginnings

Tarducci released his first demo, Fitte Da Latte, in 1999 with the help of his brother Fabri Fibra.[1] Using the stage name Nesly Rice, and more recently simply as Nesli, Tarducci has a style similar to his brother, with a more reflective flow. As he was recording with Uomini Di Mare he did not get the opportunity to create the beats; beatmaking duties went to DJ Lato. After the production of Fitte Da Latte, Nesli worked artists in the Italian hip-hop scene such as Uomini Di Mare, Kaso & Maxi B, Marya and Mente. He collaborated with the group Sottotone, and was producer for Fish on their LP In Teoria. In 2000 he worked on the Teste Mobili mixtape Dinamite.

The album had a mixed reception. In 2004 Nesli collaborated with Bassi Maestro on Busdeez presenta: The Remedy Tape – Vol. 1, and released his second album Home on the Saifam record label. This album features other hip hop community members such as his brother and Maxi B. Always in 2004, he co-wrote the album of Fabri Fibra: Mr. Simpatia.

The e-single Riot was released in January 2007 online and was followed by the official music television and radio release Nesli Park. In the same year he participated on the album of Fabri Fibra, Bugiardo, and he appears also in the video of the single Bugiardo.

Rivalry with Marracash

Between 2006 and 2008 Nesli was involved in a "challenge" of dissing with the rapper Marracash. In 2006, the latter in the song Popolare, attacked Nesli on his way to rap. The following year, Nesli responded to his rival in the song Riot, contained in the album Le verità nascoste, even if in the song is not explicitly mentioned the name of Marracash. The counter-response of Marracash arrived in the song Dritto al punto, included in the album Marracash in 2008, where Marracash reverse the citations of Nesli, which then responds in La vita é solo una, included in the album Nesliving Vol.1 thus ending the controversy. In an interview with the site hotmc.com, Nesli denied having ever had disagreements with Marracash.

Rivalry with his brother

In October 2010, Nesli releases an interview to the newspaper Panorama about the relation with his brother Fabri Fibra.

“ I ended the relationship with my brother three years ago, when his life fell apart the boundary that separates the person from the character. From a certain point he didn't want to take off the mask of Fabri Fibra. I returned to the surface after being dropped by Universal Music (the Fabri Fibra's label). Fabri Fibra and his entourage tells me that I was an idiot, because I wasn't enough nasty, because I didn't do the things that needed to be done. ”
