Goshi Mataradze biography

He mixed many styles in his work, from rap to the opera, all the songs were written by him on his own. His album “pain to consciousness” of the year is the largest in volume in the history of Russian rap and includes 32 compositions. A person who does not know how to stop there, spoke about himself, about his work, about his attitude to the Russian rap and the prospects of its development.

I initially just wrote poetry. Of course, like every normal person, probably love pushed. Then the verses grew into the songs. Since childhood, I began to get involved in HIP-hop-music, listening to it. From 16 years old I began to read rap. First, I still studied at the Institute of Physical Culture. I studied professionally kickboxing and Thai boxing, then it all somehow faded into the background.

Music is more important for me, if prioritized, then for me, in the first place of rap. Of course, I maintain a form, I am for sports. Because either rap or work. For me, rap is not a hobby, but the meaning of life. I can’t imagine myself without a rapper. I write a lot and release a lot of tracks, clips. Especially the year I have fruitful - 2 albums, clips. Microphone and computer, but it was already a good microphone.

Before that, we were written in a microphone, then, it cost rubles, maybe now I am writing in a normal studio, but, exclusively in Krasnodar. In Moscow, I, too, sometimes sign up, but it’s somehow not very comfortable for me. In Krasnodar, I am signing up for a very good studio, unfortunately, it is not a repertan, but a rocker one, but there is a studio, I think, a couple of million euros, even Deep Purple came there, there are sounds for American films.

The Marinsound Studio is called. A very cool studio, I think, is no different from the American ones. They may not even listen, but write right away - shit. At first, I perceived everything closely, but then I realized that “you won’t put a scarf” for every company ”and scored. Now, I read the Gallest comments, anyway, I am glad that more good, straight, more - more.

Somehow many years ago, I tried, and I did not succeed, not mine. I will not write a lot of people to me all, otherwise I will forget someone. I don't want to work with one bitmaker. If some group is recorded under the minus of the same bitmaker, then for me, it’s generally dry and uninteresting, everything is flat and monotonous, you hear the style of this bitmaker in each track.

Therefore, I try to use a big circle of bitmakers. I don’t look for them, they write to me. And, as a rule, I don’t buy a minus, but simply for the “respect”. I sign a bitmaker made such a music. Because, in reality, there are a lot of messages on this topic on social networks. To be honest, I do not like to record joint tracks. As a rule, I record joint tracks only with friends. Usually the worst concerts take place in the city where I come from Krasnodar, good organizers do not come across.

It was, a couple of years ago, there was one presentation of the album and a man gathered, although there was no advertisement at all. I was lucky, I guess. In Moscow, so far, he did not give solo concerts, although the organizers already turned, I do not want to, until I am sure that I will collect more people. I have a lot of performances in Moscow, but I want to give a solo concert when I reach a certain level.

The album is ready, maybe even two albums. I am already a very pampering audience, in my opinion. Of course, they ask for 10 tracks per day to be laid out, but you can’t also “bend the stick”. Now I should be the task of becoming a top racer in Russia. While I do not have time for producing, maybe later I will do it. In my opinion, everything is somehow monotonous, but I want variety.

I would like lyrics, fun, and somewhere dirt, somewhere unusual experiments, but in the Russian rap, at the moment, this is not enough. Or someone who would like to be like? My favorite rapper is Eminem. But I, of course, do not pull in level, what he does. And according to my tracks, it is clear that there is not the slightest “Suma” on him, although this is my favorite rapper.

And I also really like Lil Wayne. I am also very cool about the ONYX group, these are the guys from whom I began to listen to rap when I was 9 years old, literally recently I met them at their concert. Russians need to learn from Western artists - how to do music and how to perform. What is cool to anyone, that no one did anyone in the West. I believe that the best bif or disse is an awesome track that will become a hit.

And it is not cool to insult and humiliate each other. Moreover, Russian rappers, again, in my opinion, did not grieve to the level to write such a thing on each other. So far, everyone does not very cool. I am also not satisfied with any of my track, but there are tracks that I like. But to say: “Gosha, you made a cool track and suits everything” - not a single such.

As they say, "do not judge, and we will not judge." What can you say about them? Damn, how it all infuriates me - “comment on the track”, etc.There are talented young guys, but I did not hear anything special, honestly. Nobody surprised me, let's say so. Now the majority of texts in Rap, in my opinion, are either “snot”, or some crap consisting of a set of words where the word “rapper”, “hip-hopper” is present, something “blew”, “sniffed” there.

Many began to listen to rap. To be honest, I don't like that there are too many rappers. Not because I am competition, but because shit. The older I get, I understand that I can’t listen to the Russian rap. Yes, there are, of course, good tracks, sometimes some will shoot-wow, class, but somehow quickly I leave for some reason. They quickly bother me. Now I am listening to more than Nina Simone and Western HIP-Hop.

I do not think that I made my way, but I have a tour, there are listeners. I don't work. As my girlfriend says: "Who does not work, that rapper." But at the same time, I can provide myself. I can call myself a happy person, at least because I earn money on my favorite business. And what helped me? The Internet helped me. This was not before. You are not twisted on the radio or TV - everything, no one will recognize you.

I have a track, at least one that almost everyone knows in this country, again at the expense of the Internet. The main thing is not to think that you are now a star both great and powerful, as a Russian language, but objectively looking at what you are doing.

It is advisable to understand what you are doing shit. Only if you are self -critical can you reach a high level. But, as shows, practice - there are rappers that can be called rappers, but they are known, popular. There are many of them now. For the fact that I have my own style and I am a very diverse rapper. I have tracks in different styles and is DAP-step, and there are under Drum and Bass, and there are house, and there are under minimal.

I do not know a single Russian rapper that there are tracks for almost all these styles.
