Jake La Furia

Jake La Furia, born Francesco Vigorelli in Milan on 25 February 1979, is an Italian rapper best known as a founding member of Club Dogo, one of the most influential groups in Italian hip-hop. His stage name is drawn from the lead character of the film Once Were Warriors. He came up through Milan's writing and graffiti scene in the 1990s before forming the group Sacre Scuole alongside Guè Pequeno and Dargen D'Amico.

After Sacre Scuole disbanded in 2001, Jake La Furia teamed up with Guè Pequeno and producer Don Joe to form Club Dogo, adopting the stage name he still uses today. The group became a defining force in Italian rap, blending gritty street narratives with polished, hard-hitting production. In 2013 he launched a solo career with the album Musica Commerciale, further establishing his sharp, punchline-driven flow as a solo voice.

In 2019 he founded the label Yalla Movement with producer Big Fish, home to artist Chadia Rodriguez, for whom he also writes. In 2020 he released the collaborative album 17 with Emis Killa. Songs such as «Amore tossico», «Viagra» and «Gli Anni D'Oro» reflect his blend of braggadocio, humor and street realism. In 2024 he joined the Italian talent show X Factor as a judge, a role he retained in 2025.
