Michele Maria Cuccovillo (or Truth the M.C., P4NED) is a producer and rapper from Triggiano, Apulia. He has always had this passion for music and wanted to exploit it in early April 2024 by creating an account with pieces he made, under the alias of P4NED.
He has always been a fan of R&B, Funk, Pop, Indie and, since the age of 10, Hip-Hop, Rap and Trap music.
The artists who have inspired him are many, including Kanye West, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Denzel Curry and Mac Miller, also female rappers such as Little Simz and Doja Cat.
Thanks to their kind of hip-hop, he was able to complete his first beat tape, Truth: Legacy Edition, which was received reasonably well, and after that the music production label Cook-O-Ville Entertainment was born.
With the second mixtape, Solo X Te (Deluxe Christmas Edition), he started rapping on 3 tracks, but only 2 days later, on January 1, 2025, he released Truth: Legacy Edition (Deluxe), with 5 more instrumental tracks and improved mastering, featuring the song Under Pressure, which samples Logic's song, “Under Pressure.”
While, the lost beat tape Credici, è Truth (Director's Cut), has been remastered and released on all streaming platforms, along with Via John Fitzgerald Kennedy II.
In January 2025, Michele founded an instrumental band, called Tha Kennedy Streeterz, and on February 2025 released Johannes on SoundCloud, based on the song “Soul Food.”
