We have already talked about the double life of Corrado Grilli aka Mecna, graphic designer and a good musician.

The rapper is the author of many covers of Italian rap/hip hop records of artists like Ghali, Fabri Fibra, but the art of creativity cannot stop, so between a song and another he dedicates his time to projects like Branded Cities.

The concept is effective and doesn’t need many words to be described, there is only one track on Google Maps that replicates the logos of famous streetwear clothing brands over the cities that have seen their fortunes born. We move from the Detroit of Carhartt to the Japanese roads of Comme des Garçons, from Chicago on which Michael Jordan built his story and that of his legendary shoes, the Air Jordan.
