Russian Hip Hop

[Jeremy B Morris]

I am being 'reeducated' in this subject by my Moscow friends.
 
In order of listenability:
 
Krestnaia sem'ia: album 'Piran'i' 2003 respect production. Tongue-in-cheek {?} gangsta stuff and not hard on the ear at all. 'Davai, krepis', brantan!'
 
Anything by Kasta is ok, in particular: 'Trekhmernye rifmy' 2003, respect production. A particularly good hip hop 'cooperative' with all kinds of different tracks/contributions. They put a huge amount of effort into intense lyrics against quite heavy backing beats.
 
Also recommended:

??? - ????? / Karavan Music

Health Warning
It should be noted that all of these artists are noted for their 'nenormativnaia leksika'
 
n.b. 
Detsl' is a bit of a running joke in the hip hop scene these days, especially with his celeb antics in Moscow; what do you expect from a 'made' former pupil at a top Swiss internat? Definitely not 'from the ghetto'. Chur chur.

Subject: [SEELANGS] ISO Russian movie & music recommendations



Hi all -- Having been out of the Russian loop for about a decade, I'm
looking for recommendations of movies and music I can share with my high
school students.  Current (or fairly current) movies go over better w/ my
students.

Regarding music, I'd love to hear what your take is on current Russian
hip-hop.  I've searched a little on the 'net and, well, I've been a little
disappointed.  Detsl seems like he made a splash a few years ago and is
fairly well produced -- is he still in the mix these days?  Are there any
other hip hop artists in Russia that I should be aware of?

Thanks,
Devin
