Biography of the table city

Photo: Andrei Krymovsky, as a table city, became the most popular rap group of Ukraine from behind the line, the scale of demand for the team may not be so noticeable, but the time has come when it is no longer possible to ignore it. The rise that the Ukrainian scene has been experiencing the easiest way to explain to the example of Ukrainian festivals for the past two years. If earlier the local viewer managed to lure this kind of this kind only by foreign names in the linap, then as of the year the local artists are the headlines of large sites.

And the point is not only in foreign economic factors, although without them nowhere: the number of tour of foreign stars, if compared with the numbers of the year, decreased by an order of magnitude. It’s just that the country has changed and is in search of a new course - not only political. There was a request for musical content, reflecting and comprehending what is happening here and now.

In Ukraine, their rock heroes, new folk stars, large names on the electronic stage appear. But in the segment of rap, music, which, it would seem, should react most sensitively to concussions within the country, stagnation was still observed. As of the year, there is only one rap formation that succeeded-about it and the conversation. The group formed on November 15 and gradually began to grow by artists, whom Alexander, in his own words, selected not only based on creative, but also human qualities.

In subsequent years, the backbone of the team consisted of the following artists, whose names, with the exception of the first in the list, were absolutely unknown: Yarmak G. Borispol, Firm Kyiv, Mikhalych G. Shosty, TOF G. Zhitomir and Marty Orsk, Russia. All met under fairly prosaic circumstances. And then the word for word, respect for respect. In those days, I recorded the first songs in the garage studio.

The boys really met Sanya in the subway - then he still rode it - and they invited Made in UA to the first big concert in the club "Topic". Yarmak at that time was already a prominent artist with the first hits. At first, doubts arose whether we can do something together. But it soon turned out that we have an incredibly much common. Even before meeting, we came to the goal of bringing the Ukrainian rap to a decent level.

But creating a large empire alone is almost impossible. Sani at that time had a small studio in one of the audiences of the National Air Forces. As I remember now, the room was at first rehearsed at the studio, just standing opposite each other. Now we have at our disposal a couple of rehearsal bases, where before each concert we will grind the program with the whole gang.

If I am not mistaken, after six months we were ready to capture the planet and discussed the name of the future creative association. You know, in such companies it often happens that someone does not fit into the team, or simply does not converge in character. Perhaps this is the power of the table city: in a team, consisting of more than 20 people, there are no unpleasant scenes.

We became a family. "Unlike the music of other Ukrainian rap stars, the emphasis was immediately visible here with a local audience. This kind of messenger was broadcast through the selected date of the first concert of the Stolki City, dedicated to the Day of Kyiv and through the logo of the formation of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, Stella on the Maidan, and in the center in the center.

Exposition-Motherland Monument. It was the music of Ukrainians for Ukrainians. And they did not read about some abstract ghetto-or what rappers are usually read there-but about their city, with which they have already outlined the name itself and to which almost a dozen songs were dedicated. But all this was preceded by an exciting and heavy time for Ukraine.

A revolution came to the country. In October, a small student demonstration takes place, defending the course on the integration of Ukraine with the EU. What was remembered further: tens of thousands of demonstrators in Kyiv only requiring the resignation of the president, a clash with troops controlled by the president, the first victims on Grushevsky Street. Her exit was for Yarmak the turning point.

At that time, releasing a song of this content was both creative and civic risk. Firstly, Maidan activists were abducted, beaten and worse-and in the case of Yarmak, participation in the events was not limited. He could be seen in the camp of supporters of European integration, he performed on a street stage in the center of Kyiv. Secondly, in such a troubled time, most artists simply did not risk openly act as any of the warring parties.

The train of the authorship of frivolous hits, skillfully targeted on a massive listener, was still drawn to Alexander. There is an opinion that it is the actions in such circumstances that show who the great artist is here, and who was so - to drink. After a creative breakthrough, a large concert tour could not but follow. Yarmak, strategically taking advantage of an increased interest in his work, pulls his associates according to the stellar degree.It will be best about the growth of the popularity of his rap-Voisk in subsequent years to say numbers.

Another indicative moment: neither in the year, nor in M ​​Nor M or in M-the list can continue any other Ukrainian rap artist and swept to the hall of such capacity. The table city really became the number one rap group in the country. From the point of view of sports recruiting, this was an impeccable transfer: a gig, with his luggage of club performances, is one of the best rap certificates of the country, which, however, did not save his musical career from a long slipping.

There were a roller, Yarmak and me. In December, the group planned a large concert and the organizers were looking for a good presenter - and at the same time they offered to perform a couple of songs. Then about the invitation to the formation of the formation and there was no question. They just offered a one -time work and I agreed. At one of the meetings, this proposal sounded.

The main thing is that this happened exactly when it should have been: as soon as I realized that I had found myself, I was found in a table hail. The table city is a whole team that constantly works on one task - the development of the industry, the success of the general and the success of each individual representative. What did I already get as a solo artist? We swept and continue to ride with the tour in many cities of Ukraine, shot 5 clips for songs from the last album of the old -line, among them there are already a couple of millionaires.

We performed in the main office of VKontakte in Ukraine, the broadcast watched thousands of spectators. In the fall, I will be in Telik again, to perform in several TV shows popular in the country. And this is not all ... I am alive again, I returned. The biggest misconception about the table city is that we are some nationalists tough. You yourself can!

The table city is not only in Kyiv a large fanbaza. There was more man at our concert in Rivne, and for such a city - this is wow! We communicate with the listener, arrange meetings with fans and much more. From the moment I got into the table, I have practically no free time. I’m just trying to cut a couple of free days to start shooting solo clips. So that rap in Ukraine develops, we need support from television channels and radio stations, and we have rap all -format.

Yarmaka, for example, every dog ​​knows here. Only now we push the TV a little bit. Why so? After all, his VKontakte community in the number of subscribers ranks first in Ukraine, overtaking the same Mozgi Potap. Without cheating, all living people, all fans. For the development of culture and popularization of artists, money for high -quality clips, bits, record and information, promo, but the producers are still ready to invest in frankly commercial projects.

Many can try to challenge my words, give examples of those who managed to break through on their own, but this is rather an exception to the rules. The rappers themselves destroy the genre, believing that the cool rap ended in the two thousandth. And the times in Ukraine are now far from the best. Returning to the Ukrainian rap. Stop hanging shortcuts, just listen to music, without dividing into words, bit and other components.

Feel her. Stop believing rumors and other people's opinions. Do not believe politicians and news, regardless of which country you live in. Do you know that over the years of acquaintance in Yarmak, it surprises me the most? That he still has not lost faith in good. The fact that people can change for the better. He is too bright, too positive, too believes in humanity.

I can’t do this anymore. ”The group is entirely self-support, there is its own studio in the center of Kyiv, which provides a full range of audio and video production. All the bits are written to her, who had previously worked with Kravza TS PROD. The second plate of the table city is a technical representative-raP of young people who are tired of the war in their country and rap, concentrated on itself destruction.

The sociopolitical theme was not dominant here, but in many tracks a line-two, no, no, but slipped, not allowing you to forget where these people come from and in what conditions they exist. Summing up the year, representatives of the VKontakte social network compiled a list of the most popular artists of Ukraine. Yarmak in it turned out to be twice - in the first place is solo and seventh as part of the group of the Stolki City.
