Sergey Shnurov, leader of the Leningrad group, and PHARAOH, leader of the rap cohort Dead Dynasty for the cover of the October issue "Собака.ги" we found not only ten differences between the generation of the 1990s and centenialo [generation Z], but also a common denominator — new poets are looking for a new word and a new sound.

Tekashi 6ix9ine concert | Interview with PHARAOH | STUDIO 21

6ix9ine is one of the most controversial and unpredictable artists on today's rap scene. His concert at the Moscow club Cition Hall had to be postponed, because on the appointed date (September 7) Tekashi didn't fly out of the States. The show itself also went wrong – during the performance, a fan ran on stage, who hit Tekashi and severely paid for it (read his comment here: http://studio21.ru/tekashi-moscow-con...). The madness that reigns around did not prevent STUDIO 21 presenter Sam from finding out who came to the 6ix9ine Moscow concert and interviewing Pharaoh.

MAY 23, 2018, Mnogoznaal, ВПИСКА

"The list" made it to the homeland of Megasyana – Pechory, a small Northern town, where the sidewalks are five-meter snow drifts, and in the streets go bears (!!!). We study the empty hotel "cosmos", ride on "donuts" from the mountain in minus 30 and are horrified by the deer carcasses at the local market. As always, there are many stories waiting for you. What's cool about Pharaoh? Why did Maxim quarrel with Kizaru? Why was 11-year-old Mnogoznaal beaten by a neighbor? And what did Max remember about working as a janitor and serving in the army?

YOUR SPACE KNEW TOO MUCH. [Mnogoznaal in Russian translation: mnogo-many, znaal-knew]. Northern temper in the rap industry.

A young performer and beatmaker from Pechora, Maxim Lazin, better known as Mnogoznaal, released a new album "Гостиница Космос" ["The hotel Cosmos"] in January this year. A member of the musical group Dead Dynasty immediately got into the top rap artists iTunes, striking listeners with mystery and philosophical ambiguity. The Cosmos hotel is a real place in Komi — a bus stop, which in Maxim's view has always been something mysterious and"creep".

"My girlfriend prompts me how to play sets": interview with Southgarden.

We had the idea to talk to Oleg a long time ago. Initially, the call was a little political, it can be outlined as "Ukrainian from a party called YungRussia". Later, Southgarden released an excellent solo debut, which confirmed him in the status of the main investigator of the advanced team Pharaoh, and then YungRussia itself didn't become. But that didn't make it any less of a topic of conversation.

Interview with the production team FrozenGangBeatz

FrozenGangBeatz is one of the most promising domestic production groups, having worked with Chris Travis, Black Kray, Black Smurf, Key Nyata, Dylan Ross and many others. Their tracks are characterized by the pitched voices of Memphis rappers, terrifying echoes, head-pounding basses and chattering snares. The guys are scattered all over the world, but together they sound very organic and independent.
