Krovostok
Krovostok () is a Russian rap group formed in Moscow in 2003. About the group At first, Krovostok was perceived as a joke (even by the members themselves), but that did not prevent the group from becoming one of the most successful and original rap collectives in Russia. A characteristic feature of Krovostok's music is the use of profanity in their idiosyncratic monotonous flow. The group's members can be considered representatives of the creative intelligentsia: Shilo is an artist and poet, Feldman is a writer and installation artist, and both are former members of the art collective FenSo ( :ru:ФенСо). History Anton Chernyak (Shilo) and Dmitry Fain (Feldman) studied together at Moscow Academic Art Сollege. They later became members of the FenSo () artist collective. After this, Shilo took part in the art collective PG (). They met the third member of Krovostok, Sergey Krylov (DJ Polutrup), when he was working as a bartender at the PushkinG () art club founded by t ...

Russian Hip Hop
Russian hip hop refers to hip hop music recorded in Russia or in the Russian language in former Soviet states like Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. Hits by Russian rappers are included in the soundtracks of some PC-games and have formed part of several popular internet memes. Many Russian rap artists have achieved commercial success, including Detsl, Bad Balance, Centr, Kasta, Oxxxymiron and Belarusian artist Seryoga. Especially at the end of the 2010s and the beginning of the 2020s, rap has become a very political form of music in Russia. In this respect, rap could be compared to rock in the 1980s, which gave voice to young people critical of the Soviet system, expressed, for example, by Viktor Tsoi's Khochu peremen ("I want changes"). The increased politicization was most impressively demonstrated at the end of 2018, when a string of concerts were canceled. Among them was a performance by rapper Khaski (real name Dmitry Kuznetsov) in Krasnodar at the end of November. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
