Mnogoznaal is a Russian rap and hip-hop artist, beatmaker originally from Печора [Pechora], Komi Republic. Maxim writes music under the pseudonym Fortnoxpockets. Former member of YUNGRUSSIA and Litalima.
Lazin begins to be interested in music at the age of 12. It was inspired by British singer, drummer and songwriter Phil Collins, American hip-hop artist The Notorious B.I.G. and rapper Jay Electronica. Maxim started writing rap, but soon abandoned it. "Then I heard the Flatbush Zombies mixtape «Better off dead» and I thought I wanted to go back into it all again and try again. In short, I started recording music in secret." After leaving school Mnogoznal enters the Ukhta University of UGTU, during which he is very fond of various conspiracy theories and constantly tells his friends and teachers about them. Sometimes Mnogoznaal even gave talks on the stage about the world's Masonic conspiracies, as a result of which many considered him strange: “At the age of 18, this was the most important topic for me, I signed up for all conferences, and whatever the topic was, in the end, I reduced any article to the Supreme government.“
Maxim Lazin started his career in the music industry under the pseudonym Fortnoxpockets as a beatmaker. later, taking the nickname Mnogoznaal, he started recording under his own production.
In 2013, Mnogoznaal together with rapper Tilmil decided to create an association of musicians from the far North to share experiences and help each other. Later, the association went beyond the established framework and performers from all over the CIS joined it, but due to internal disagreements, it was decided to move all separately. In early 2017, the creative association ceased to exist.
In 2014, Maxim became a member of Dead Dynasty. In the same year there was a mini-albums «Марш Слонов» ["March of the Elephants"] and «Иферус: Приквел» ["Iferus: the Prequel"].
It is worth noting that «Марш Слонов» ["March of the Elephants"] and «Иферус: Приквел» ["Iferus: the Prequel"] are mini-albums, while «Белые Долины» ["White Valleys"] and «Ночной Ловец Солнца» ["Night Hunter of the Sun"] are сintapes.
CINTAPE — according to Mnogoznaal, this is its own format, the peculiarity of which is that the music release completely carries a certain artistic concept, and the songs themselves are in some way soundtracks to the situations that occurred. Each release has characters (fictional or from real life), and the music release itself follows an abstract scenario.
In 2015, Max served in the army, where he wrote most of his next syntype «Ночной Ловец Солнца» ["Night Hunter of the Sun"].
