Matteo Professione (born 29 November 1993, in Milan),[1] better known as Ernia, is an Italian rapper. Together with fellow hip hop artist Ghali, he founded the crew Troupe D'Elite, also including Maite and producer Fawzi.[2] The group released the eponymous extended play in 2012 under label Tanta Roba, and the album Il mio giorno preferito in free download under Honiro Records label, in 2014.[3][4][5]

After the group's dissolution, he moved to London.[6] When he came back to Italy, he debuted as a solo artist in 2017, releasing the album Come uccidere un usignolo, named after a literal translation of the title of Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird.[6] One year later, his second studio album, 68, debuted at number one on the FIMI Italian Albums Chart.[7][8] In 2020, he increased his fame with the album Gemelli, which became his second number-one studio set in Italy, and spawned the chart-topping single "Superclassico", certified sextuple platinum by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry.[9][10]
