- Russian hip hop
Russian hip hop is
hip hop music produced in Russia or in the Russian language in other countries (mainly formerSoviet states ofUkraine ,Belarus andKazakhstan ).The pioneers of Russian rap was a group called
Malchishnik (Мальчи́шник, Russian for "Bachelor Party"), but the recognition of the rap genre came with the rise ofBad Balance , with their 1994 album "Naletchiki Bad B.". Russian Hip Hop, just likeCanadian Hip Hop is inspired byRastafari music, which hit an up-swing during the fall of theSoviet Union .Only a few Russian rap artists have achieved commercial success:
Detsl (Децл),Bad Balance ,Kasta (Ка́ста) and theBelarus ian artistSeryoga (Серё́га), who combined original rap with the native Russian satiric song genre "chastushka " which some critics consider a new branch in the rap genre: rap-chastushka. Although some rap fans believe he does not belong to the Russian rap scene, the musician won the nomination for best Russian rap in 2005 on the RMA (Russian Music Awards).List of performers
