Jake La Furia: Career and professional evolution of the Club Dogo rapper

Francesco Vigorelli, known professionally as Jake La Furia, has established a diverse career within the Italian music industry. Originally from Milan, he began his involvement in hip hop culture during the 1990s through graffiti writing before transitioning into rap songwriting.

Following early musical experiences with the group Sacre Scuole, Vigorelli co-founded the rap trio Club Dogo in 2001 alongside Guè and producer Don Joe. The group became a significant influence in Italian rap with albums such as Mi Fist, Vile Denaro, Dogocrazia, and Che bello essere noi, helping to transition Milanese hip hop from underground circles to commercial success.

In 2024, Club Dogo reunited for a self-titled album and a series of sold-out performances, including shows at the Forum di Assago and San Siro stadium. Beyond his musical career, Vigorelli has expanded his professional reach into radio, television, and judging roles, most notably serving as a judge on X Factor starting in 2024.
