Black economy biography. Continuation of a brilliant career

It's time to reveal the lowdown Black Economy groups
http://www.site refers to the team Black Economy to the same group category Russian rap movements, as (and, by the way, the guys love to do feats with each other) and in a slightly to a lesser extent- Kunteynir. This kind of orientation is not towards Western style, but towards one’s original Russian soulfulness in the implementation of original hip-hop creativity.

Composition of Black Economy: OVShch, Gulyai Rvanina, Duga, Magu.

Black Economy appeared on the “rap space” somehow at one moment, without any rocking, boring demos and boring battles. Formed from a group of friends, CHE initially made music and tracks for themselves, but quickly found their listeners and carved out their own niche. Their creativity is built on friendly cooperation and, at the same time, on disputes that bear fruit.

The album will be released on the Gourmet music label, according to initial forecasts, in October-November. The recording of “Black Market” featured Rumyany, Brazilian and Chessman (Market Relations), R_chie and Loc-Dog (Parties of RA), Typicalflow, 2D, Dubas and Cafe, Zalipon and Barbiturny and other “figures” of the underground scene.

Black Economy appeared on the “rap space” somehow at one moment, without any rocking they made music and tracks for themselves, but quickly found their listeners and occupied (and maybe created a new?) their own niche. Their work is built on friendly cooperation and, at the same time, on disputes that bear fruit - no, the third album of the Black Economy “Black Market” has been released for a long time.

This group appeared on stage suddenly, as if out of nowhere. The guys made music that was unlike anything else, thereby creating their own own style in turnips " Black economy" is a real phenomenon of the domestic rap scene, but the group is not experiencing better times, so she went back into the shadows as quickly as she had appeared. For very short term Three members left the group at once: Ovshch, Mezr and Rusik, and the long-awaited album "Black Market" never saw the light of day.

The beginning of the creative path of the "Black Economy"

As happens with most newly formed bands, the first album of "Economy" was no different high quality recordings and mixing, not to mention the fact that many instrumental parts were blatantly stolen. However, this did not scare away the fans, since there are more important things for which the Black Economy group is remembered.

The team's discography consists of 4 albums, the last of which was released in 2013. But let's return to the first creation, which is called "Hat". As if mocking the listeners, I began to rack my brains over either the title or the quality of the work, but I wanted to listen to the album again and again, the songs touched the soul to the very depths, and their words were remembered with a bang.

The band members themselves and the fans are still perplexed about the reason for the sudden popularity of the Black Economy group. However, it’s all about the originality of the group’s creativity, the openness and sincerity of their music. Most modern rappers follow the example of their Western colleagues, diligently studying clips, movements and tricks. "Economy" took a different path - the path of the heart. The guys made their music without regard to their colleagues, without imitating anyone or adapting to anyone. The result was a fresh and sincere album that won the hearts of people.

Continuation of a brilliant career

In 2008 it was published new album group called “The dogs are barking, the caravan is moving”, which did not disappoint the fans of the group. "Black Economy" made this album much more professional than "Hat", which can be seen immediately from the cover of the disc.

It depicts an ordinary Moksovsky courtyard, of which there are thousands in the capital, which was a direct hint at the street origins of the group members and their work. On the cover they are all standing in masks and holding This is a tribute to a deeply beloved city, the best on Earth!

What is the secret of the “Black Economy”?

Particular attention should be paid to the group's texts. Fans compare them to the most intricate graffiti fonts, where color and shape are more important than the words themselves. All the albums of "Black Economy" amaze with emotionally strong play on words, vague, but at the same time such close images where everyone can see a part of themselves. It was the courage, originality and sincerity of the lyrics that served as the key to the recognition of the group.

The group released their third album with a slightly changed line-up. Rusik left the economy, but he maintained warm relations with the guys and still gives them disadvantages. Ovshch went to the army, but soon returned to the group. “Black Economy” is by no means ceasing to exist; on the contrary, the guys are determined to continue writing the same original rap for which their fans love them so much.

Market Relations was formed on the outskirts of Moscow from close friends who had hung out together since childhood. The composition was determined from three persons: Brazilian, Truman and Rumyany. Having gathered together, they decided, for fun, to record a rap with the accent of migrant workers, and in 2005 they even released a mini-album from similar material and called it “Garmajob”.

Development

Over time, rap became more and more serious and each album sounded better and richer, to be sure you only need to include the early recordings and the latest ones. Subsequently, their rap became a dense underground with completely different themes, from ironic songs to brutal rap about politics and gray everyday life. Most listeners have no idea that it all started as a joke and the first tracks were recorded for laughs. The team worked closely with the group Black Economy, with which they even recorded one joint album.

Compound

Over time, the composition of the Market Relations group changed to at the moment it consists of Brazi, Rumyany, Ost and Chessman. By the way, Ost joined the team relatively recently; before that he was an active member of the Vulgar Tonn group. In addition to music, Nikita Ost appears in films; you may remember him from the films “Everything at Once” and “About Love”.

Latest creativity

Despite a fairly large audience, you will never see Rynochnye on tour in your city, the maximum where they give concerts is Moscow. Recent years The market remains in the shadows, releasing a steady rate of one album per year, the latest of which is ““, which was released at the end of 2015.

Arrest with a large quantity of drugs

In February 2016, all RuNet sites were filled with news. A criminal case is currently underway. We hope that the guys will please us with new material not in decades.

Ex-member of the Black Economy about work, Brazil and current hip-hop.

Former member group Black Economy, graffiti writer from the MDT team, artist, illustrator, and vinyl collector in an interview with the site.

The Black Economy group has not received mass recognition, but rightfully occupies its niche in the underground of domestic hip-hop. The frontman of the group until his departure was Mesr. Dmitry Vasilchenko agreed to talk with Mesr at the height of his working day in the office about work, modern hip-hop, life in Brazil, the development of rap and much more.

I work as a graphic designer at TimeOut. So I painted, and this took almost 15 years, so it was not in vain. This is what I like, what I can do, so the work is not stressful. If I didn't work in an office, I would work as a freelancer. On the other hand, I rarely do graffiti now, and my goals are no longer the same as they were before.

- Are your work colleagues aware that there is more than just an employee among them?

At work or anywhere else, I don’t advertise what I do. But someone still guesses. Recently, in a cafe, the cashier asked me to leave an autograph in front of my colleagues. Fiasco! Sometimes they find out on the street. And I don’t always understand - did you find out because of rap or graffiti? But it still causes me awkwardness and some discomfort when they ask for a photo or an autograph. We started recording not to get noticed, but really for ourselves, for fun. Therefore, when after our recordings there was some kind of wave of attention, recognition and other things, it was very unexpected and a wonder.

- Didn’t you really have any thoughts to develop your success while you were on the wave?

That's the thing, no. I don’t like touring, this whole traveling life at all. And we also need to constantly release songs and albums so as not to fall off this wave, to stir up interest, to sell ***** [face]. But I don’t want to turn creativity into a conveyor belt. It is written - it is written, no - no. That’s why we didn’t envy Centr or anyone else. I’d rather release material that I like first of all every few years, without regard for the listener. And besides, there are still concerts and we went on tour.

- Do you have anything to remember from the tour?

I remember well our first trip to Samara. Market Relations also came with us for a joint concert. We were checked into some hotel, on which there was a sign that Lenin lived here in such and such a year. There was a feeling that nothing had changed there since then. Well, we rested in best traditions punk bands. They destroyed the room in a frenzy, painted on the walls of the room and the corridors. And the concert itself was so fun that no one remembers anything. Or here’s one of the last trips to Novosibirsk: a cool city, good people, great weather. I managed to get a tattoo. I visited the studio, they even shot a video for “Scotch-2”. True, who the hell knows where it ended up.

- Do you keep in touch with your former classmates?

I support, but with whom? There is a connection with Rusik, but mostly on the Internet. I communicate with Duga constantly, less often with Gulyai Rvanina. As far as I know, only I and Gulyai Rvanina do rap.

-Have you met a person with enormous talent, but which never revealed itself?

There is such a character from Maryino - Tram. This is an unreal talent. If you search the Internet well, you can find his tracks. I don't even know what he's doing now. The same Puno from "1000 words". In fact, there are many of them. Some people are consumed by everyday life, others are consumed by laziness. For some, rap is nothing more than a hobby, like for me. Although for me it’s still a little more than a hobby.

- You recently wrote on Twitter that you put creativity in the closet.

Just as I put it away, I took it out. You see, now the attitude towards creativity is different. I don’t want to release banal stuff. Previously, we quickly rhymed everything together line by line, divided it among everyone and wrote it down. Now I write when I feel like writing. Plus, self-criticism has increased greatly. I’m constantly rewriting, redoing, or completely forgetting.

- On modern rap how do you look?

Everything is complicated here. Now, despite the fact that there are a lot of rappers, I believe that it has become easier for them to break through than in our time. Today there is no need for labels, professional studios, producers, or radio. You can do everything yourself and achieve certain results via the Internet. On the other hand, I don’t like that they stopped keeping traditions. They eradicated the culture. As soon as a person becomes more or less famous, some tours and money appear - all creativity turns into something empty. And they don’t want to develop, read books, complicate rhymes, make them more interesting. I don’t like all these elbow dances and all the fashionable skirt moves. Clones are multiplying one after another, but what's the point?

- Apparently, it’s hard for a modern Russian rapper to get into your player.

I follow our rap more for familiarization. And that's rare. I liked the sound. I like what Mitya Severny, Chester from Nebro, Zagi Bok, Anton Chernyak (Shilo) are doing. We have been familiar with the latter since the bearded years, when he appeared in our graffiti party, long before the masses heard him. Wonderful, kind person and an excellent artist. And what albums does he release? This is exactly the saying about him - a talented person, talented in everything.

- Now there is a fashionable, but not “skirt”, but a gloomy football-like movement in rap.

This was also in our songs. But we never pretended to be anyone, didn’t invent anything and wrote about what surrounds us and who surrounds us. I also went on road trips, but not as often as I would like. And he took part in fights, but due to circumstances, not due to reasons. I’m not part of any company, although there are plenty of friends among the hooligans. I recently watched “Okolofutbola” and saw many familiar faces. But I won’t single out anyone from the groups; everyone already knows everything.

- How did you become addicted to football?

As a child, when I lived on Avtozavodskaya, I played for Torpedo. And my grandfather, now deceased, Anatoly Snychkov, was himself a Spartak player in the post-war period. This is where, in fact, Spartak appeared in my life. In addition, I lived in Brazil for 7 years. After this it is difficult to stay away from football.

- How did you get there?

My father worked at the Hydrometeorological Center and was offered a job at a university in Brazil. It was '94. Putsch, cold and hungry winter. Without hesitation, we left. We planned for a maximum of 4 years, but ended up staying for 7. I lived in the south of the country in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in a small town with a cool-sounding name for Russian ears, Pelotas. Then he moved to the state capital, the million-plus city of Porto Alegre. The country is really obsessed with football; on match days, schools or kindergartens ask parents to pick up their children early. At work, gaming can be a valid excuse for absence. Each small town has several teams, each state has three or four divisions. On match days, cities stupidly die out - everyone is either at the stadium or in front of the screens. And everyone plays - from skaters to pot-bellied men. Even old people can come out, even if not to play, but to hit the ball. Those who don’t have money for a ball tie bags of newspapers tightly with tape and play, or just play with fruit. I was there rooting for the Gremio team, they play in the Premier League. And for the team of the 3rd division GE Brasil de Pelotas, popularly known as Xavante. Here I no longer missed home matches. Sometimes he went on trips, getting into all the associated troubles.

- I drank a lot of blood to my parents during my youth, do you regret anything?

Oh, that's right. You can’t imagine how much I drank! Now I really regret a lot of wasted time.

Mesr's next performance will take place in Moscow.
