From what did the mother of Noise ms die. Noize MC (Noise MC) - biography of a rap artist

Noize MC's new album "Hard Reboot" has been released - a "rock" record compared to the previous "hip-hop" "Confusion". The Flow listened to the album first and asked Ivan all the questions that appeared during the listening.

Here's what surprised me. I turned on the song "Come Some All" when it came out - there is a trap, an electronic beat, a dancer. I turn on the album - there is a Nirvana group.

Well, yes, “Come Some All” is practically the only completely rap song here. Everything else is either guitar music or eclectic electronics. There's also stuff like "Save My Speech" and "Talking Heads" - a grungy Everlast. Well, you can conditionally call them rap. Well, and the song "Hard Reboot", actually.

Why didn't Fred Durst end up here?

Durst has some problems - as I understand it, quite serious ones. They once again put off the album, left Cash Money and can't finish recording their record. As he writes to me, our joint track is in his "pool" for recording vocals, but he still has a lot of his acapellas - and for him this is a priority. From our side, the track is completely ready, and sooner or later, it will see the light of day. In general, the story is very strange, because it was his idea: he himself came to us, he proposed. Well, good luck to him. I liked “Endless Slaughter”, I myself am waiting for the album from Limp Bizkit.

Did you think the track was in English?

Initially, there were different thoughts about this, but in the end - yes, it is completely in English.

Is it difficult to write texts in a foreign language?

Easier than I thought, let's just say. I have been trying for a long time, it was such deliberately Russian English - I tried to create texts with a universal message, not tied to some newfangled slang. I write in the language of the world. Not in some specific, momentary newspeak that only dudes from Fifth to Eighteenth Street in New York would understand and no one else. Yes, I still have a pretty strong Eastern European accent. And for someone it is Jamaican, Irish, South African, Swedish, German or Latin American. Native speakers understand me freely, I can formulate and convey my idea - this is the main thing. And I'm working hard on the rest.

The song "Come Some All", also subtitled "Totalitarian Trap"

I was also very surprised by Polozkova's cameo here ...

Yes, there are three fits in total - Vera Polozkova, Marina Katsuba and Astronautalis. Marina Katsuba is a poet from St. Petersburg, she will now battle with Drago on Versus. She is a friend of our family, Anya and I will go to cheer. She has been writing poetry for a long time, but she has only just started trying to record hip-hop. We met her in Thailand this winter, a big St. Petersburg party was resting there: Alina Pyazok, Usachev, Dimon from the Alai Oli group, well, somehow we all found each other. I showed Marina this song, I only had a verse and a chorus, she said that she had a poem that could fit here. It was in the format of improvisation: I played music, she read a poem, and it became clear that this was a single whole. Initially, she just recited it, but then I got the idea to expand it rhythmically. It turned out such a strange rap “M” with a constantly moving stanza.

Do you like Polozkova's poems?

Oh sure. I am a big fan of Vera. We first met her at the Steppenwolf award back in 2007 - she was the host together with Artemy Troitsky. And we started talking last fall.

I noticed that there are a lot of songs about death on the album. What is it inspired by?

My mother died at the very beginning of 2010 from cancer. It was a blow of fate, stretched out in time, inevitable, so strong that I am only now beginning to try to accept it. So much has happened: Anya gave birth to two wonderful children for me, I filled a huge number of bumps, gave a bunch of concerts, recorded a mountain of songs, traveled a long way - and still have not come to terms with it to the end. This album simply reflects in different forms what happened to me and my psyche in the last four years. There are different plots here, but the feeling of loss pervades almost all texts. There are only three exceptions: "Robots", "Come $ome All" and "Master of the Forest". That's the whole ironic "social sphere". If the album “Confusion” was sent to the outside world, then “Hard Reboot” is a very personal record.

There is a song about a blind sniper who shoots people. It is clear that, if desired, it is easy to attract it to the events in Ukraine.

There is also the song “Old Scars” - about karma, about the fact that any pain inflicted necessarily returns, and this pendulum swings endlessly, once it has been launched. These songs can be associated with anything - and first of all, for sure, they will really be associated with some actual, "fried" news and horror happening in the South-East of Ukraine. But I did not set such a goal.

Questions about Ukraine, probably zadolbali already?

Well, yes. What do you want to ask?

I wonder if these statements of yours did not damage the concert activity? Well, you come to the city, and they say to you: “Sorry, the concert is cancelled.”

This has not happened yet, but some movements and seethings, of course, occur. On September 6, we were supposed to take part in the event of the Metro newspaper. They have such a festival of young talents Metro On Stage. They made an advance payment, printed posters, and then took a promise from me that there would be no public near-political statements at the concert. I said okay, it won't. And after that, it suddenly turned out that for some technical reasons, we and the Anacondaz group would not be able to perform. A group of cockroaches, respectively, can. Our backline is almost identical, with the exception of DJs and samplers, it doesn't seem like technical reasons.

Are you afraid that there will be more such cases?

Maybe it will. You see, I don't look at the situation as if I had any alternative other than canceling the concert in Lvov. The only thing I could do to avoid problems in Russia was not to go to the people who were waiting for me there. Whatever the official reason for canceling this concert, the real reason would be fear that something will go wrong. The fact that I, while performing a Russian-Ukrainian song, picked up the yellow-blue banner extended to me from the first row, only slightly simplified the task of our media. We would still be mixed with shit, just with slightly different headlines and pictures.

I wrote a long, detailed post on my own on the Vkontakte page, I clearly and unambiguously formulated everything that I wanted to say. But the vast majority do not want to delve into anything, they simply do not read it before throwing another piece of shit under it in the comments. To be for the world and for people is not a trend, it is now called "both ours and yours." You can only be for the Maidan or for Putin. For Novorossia or for the "Kyiv junta". Only for Russia or only for Ukraine. For dad or for mom - which one would you like to kill? "Supported the punitive operation" - you finally ......... (fucked up), friends, and are afraid to even try to figure out what is happening. "If she floats than she is not a witch like we had thought"

Has the "peace" festival in Donbass been canceled in the end?

Yes. Apparently, Iosif Kobzon made this statement, not realizing what a huge organizational work is required to hold this event. So it all went downhill, unfortunately. But it would be very interesting and important for me to speak there - it is a pity that this did not happen.

Performing on the same stage with Kobzon - isn't it a bummer?

You know, I was very surprised by his position on this issue, and it caused me a lot of respect. Well, it's just, apparently, it was such a not quite deliberate statement.

Are there such artists, or politicians, with whom you would never perform on the same stage?

A whole bunch of politicians. To put it mildly, almost everything - I don’t even know what exception can be made. We performed at the “March of Millions”, and all kinds of people spoke from the stage there, well, it was a very ambiguous experience. But there was not an action organized by any one party, but a civil act. If I make exceptions, they look like this - when there are no specific political banners at the event.

As for the musicians... Well, I don’t know, there are crazy completely prefabricated hodgepodges. Here at the Day of the City, for example. If suddenly such musicians will perform with us on the same stage and cause some irritation in us, we will rather reflect this in our performance than refuse to perform. We started playing outside, and the biggest happiness has always been the opportunity to play for people on a good loud sound. We adhere to this concept. We avoid some political zashkvarov, but musically - well, the Butyrka group will perform with us on the same stage and we will play the same songs? No, we won't.

Tell us more about Cubana then. The situation is illogical in general: you came to the festival for free - and they began to put spokes in your wheels.

Yes, it's illogical! I just do not know how else to comment on this, but you understand my indignation! I went to all the “Kubans” from the first to the last, we always met Ilya halfway - and this year we went halfway in a way that we had not gone before. But in the end, everything turned out anyway some kind of idiocy. This was the reason for my so emotional response.

How does a person who strips naked in a public place feel?

I don't know... it was funny! It's like our first clip (clip "Song for Radio", in which Ivan is filmed naked - approx. The Flow).

The same performance at the "Kuban"

You won't be able to finish the film "Hard Reboot" before the release of the album?

It so happened that the film is a more labor-intensive production event. And it will be ready a little later. We have just been discussing voice acting, now we are shooting additional scenes in large numbers, and soon the final cut will appear, which we will voice.

Did you like the movie “Gasgolder”, as I understand it?

All in all, yes, I had a great time. It is clear that this is not quite cinema, but given that people who do not have cinematic experience took it and made it, it is generally very cool. There is some kind of originality in this, authenticity. You know, all the time when they ask you: “So what, did you like the Gas Tank?”, you feel like a little idiot. As if you should not like him and you should sit and litter him like a person with good taste. Well, apparently, I'm a person with bad taste. "Scum I and condom - sorry and sorry."

Are you satisfied with the reaction to “Confusion”? Did people understand your message?

Yes, I'm happy. The reaction was even and positive. Among our fans there was a significant percentage of disappointed with the lack of rock, but I set myself the goal of recording a rap record, and I did it. If someone wants a hard one, here's a "Hard Reboot" for you.

Do you even feel your belonging to the Russian rap party? There is just a feeling that you have your own listener, who, for the most part, is not particularly interested in Russian rap.

Well, I know and communicate with many figures of Russian hip-hop. Do I feel like I'm part of the party? I don't know, I don't really hang out, I don't have time. It seems to me that the groups, too installed in some kind of "hangouts", they begin to slowly lose their own face. Here there is a conditional hangout of “Our Radio” - there is a common denominator, to which everyone gradually comes. In Russian rap, this is probably also there. But we make very different music, which brings together very different people, united not by subcultural preferences, but by the songs that we composed. This is the most valuable thing for any group.

A huge number of teams exist due to the fact that they are “like these”. “These something didn’t release an album, but here-these-who-how-they released, let’s listen to it for now.” And it's not really about us.

For so many years, you have not even had imitators.

Bands using a similar setup exist. Anacondaz for example. Sampler basis and “live” on top.

At the same time, you are completely different.

Yes, we play very different music. And that's cool, in my opinion. Well, it’s just that we ourselves were initially recorded as imitators of Bricks, at any opportunity. But it seems like it ended a long time ago.

Do you generally follow the “heavy” scene in Russia now? Tell me what's going on there.

With the heavyweight in Russia as a whole, stagnation. After the rise of the “mazafakas” to the zero groups, all the same remained, and the new artists who appear are completely cut into subgenres that are marginal for me. I may have overlooked everything - I'm not an A&R employee (laughs). But there were no big events. There are no new large groups on this topic in the world.

In my opinion, everything new is now happening in some kind of electronics. Conventionally, what can be stuffed into a “trap”. Well, who's there? Hudson Mohawke, this TNGHT. There are new electronic producers, who, in one way or another, are engaged to write beats by rappers. This is what really happens in music, and everything else does not fit into the world of show business. Plus, a huge number of small niches have appeared - and this seems to suit everyone. Superstars "for all" did not appear for a very long time.

Controversial statement.

Well, tell me, what is the latest world music epidemic? Advise me, at least I'll listen. For me - here (points to his T-shirt with the Die Antwoord logo). There is no comparable phenomenon. I have been to the concert several times. I like their live performances very much - this is the most cheerful thing I've seen with a backing track. And I am very pleased with the concept of the project. They understand that modern music is measured by video clips, not albums. Well, their irony about their DJ is very amusing. Well, in the video there are always different people in his role and what he actually does during the live set is not very clear. But very funny! It's like The Lonely Island vid about the DJ.

Another personal discovery is Astronautalis. I liked his live at “Picnic” wildly. I learned about him from “Afisha”, which offered us to make a fit. I listened, I was surprised that I missed such a cool muzlo. It is also very close to me in spirit, I like melodic thinking. In general, I do not have time to monitor what is happening in detail.

The title track of the album is an English-language track with American indie rapper Astronautalis

Didn't you get called in the new season of Versus?

I generally realized that this format is not interesting to me. There are more important things to do than to sit and look for zashkvara of a performer little known to me. Why should I? He understands why - there is no need to look for anything about me.

Internet battles - was that another story?

Another absolutely. The most interesting thing in the battle was the opportunity to write a song. “Behind the closed door” is a battle track. There was a song contest. When people, completely ignoring the given topic, delved into criticism of the opponent, it was less interesting, in my opinion. Units managed to make it cool. And so, just to tease someone for something - well, I'm tired of this negativity, really. There are really bad things in life, friends! Really badass! And this is not a bad rap guy from next door!

When we have an argument in our editorial office about whether a battle rapper can become a cool artist, then you are the first example.

Let's just say I just walked out of many places at once. At some point, I was engaged in battle rap - and it gave a powerful impetus to my career. But one starter will not go far. No matter how much people who hate our group scold me, we have been doing what we are doing for almost 12 years now. And they achieved what they achieved with their own labor. And like it or not, we're here for the long haul! And the reason is not in battle rap after all. This makes me grow in terms of dexterity, in terms of some technical things. It stimulates your ability to improvise. Although I eventually realized that freestyle is not for me. It's cool when you spontaneously can beat some situation. And when you need to offend another person, about whose life you have a superficial idea - it stopped inspiring me.

What can cause the breakup of Noize MC in general?

Protracted creative crisis. personal conflicts. If the cruel persecution of us really begins. But I don't want to think about the bad things that aren't there. Because thought is material.

Childhood Noize MC

Vanya was born in the Smolensk region. The boy's mother was a chemist by profession, and his father was a musician. When he was nine, his parents separated. Around this period, he began to write his first poems, and a year later he "got sick" with the guitar. Moreover, he went to a music school in the middle of the year and was accepted. Ivan began to study and made progress in playing the classical guitar.

In 1997, together with his mother, he left for Belgorod, where he continued to study. There Vanya twice participated in the regional competition of performers. In 1998, he managed to take first place, and in 2000 - second. Since 2000, the aspiring musician has tried his hand at various musical groups in the city, including the Levers of Machines group. He himself first assembled a rock band at the age of thirteen.

The beginning of Noize MC's career

Vanya was fond of both the work of Nirvana and the work of The Prodigy. Soon he began to try to write rap, but he did not stop playing in a rock group. At school, the young musician studied with Arkady, who also performed in musical groups under the name "Adik". For some time, classmates played together in the V.I.P band, which was very famous within the city due to frequent performances.

Ivan took the pseudonym MC Noize, but later changed it a bit and became known as Noize MC. After a while, classmates created their own group and gave it the name "Face2Face". They began to participate in regional festivals, perform at concerts, and took part in competitions. Face2Face also tried its hand at the international festival, which was held in Kharkov, where it was a success. Ivan Alekseev graduated from the music school in 2001, and a year later he graduated from the secondary school.

Moving Ivan Alekseev to Moscow

In 2002, Vanya went to Moscow, where he began to study at the State University for the Humanities. He had to leave the group in Belgorod. Like many nonresident students of the Russian State Humanitarian University, Ivan settled in a hostel. He decided to take up solo work. A year later, from the same students as him, the young man created the group "Protivo Gunz". The musician constantly became a participant in various metropolitan hip-hop competitions and freestyle battles, where he successfully performed and often ended up among the winners.

Together with "Protivo Gunz" Ivan traveled to many cities in the Moscow region, giving concerts. From time to time, he introduced the residents of the capital to his work, going out onto the city streets. The first popularity came to Noize MC after he began to post his tracks on the Internet, which he recorded during his student years.

The come popularity of Noize MC

In the summer of 2005 and 2006, the musician traveled around the country, where the Snickers Urbania street festival team and Ivan gave joint concerts. The proceeds Noize MC collected for the recording of the first album. "Respect Production" is the name of the rap label with which he signed a contract. Around the same period, the group with "Protivo Gunz" became a participant in the Russian competition "Urban Sound", where they won. The prize was the opportunity to record a video, although the budget was very small. This was the reason that the guys recorded a video for their old track, the name of which is "Song for the Radio". The clip was recognized as provocative, but it still entered the rotation. A year later, it was decided to change the plot of the clip, which made it more provocative.

Noize MC Freestyle on the train

In the spring of 2007, participating in the seventh Battle of Hip-Hop.Ru, the talented musician became the winner, which was another success in his career. Then he signed a contract with Universal Music Group, which in itself was already a significant event.

Pavel Lungin invited Ivan to his film "Joke", where he got his first experience in filming a movie. He also became the author of the soundtrack for the film. His hero's name was Igor Glushko. He was a high school student, an aspiring musician who moved to the capital after the death of his parents.

"Behind the Closed Door" is the name of the second clip of the hip-hoper. The video was filled with black humor and Noize MC's trademark irony. This work was in the 2007th year in tenth place among the hundred best songs of MTV-2007. Recent achievements in creativity

Noize MC -- Freestyle at Moscow State University

A year has passed, and the hip-hoper decided to terminate the contract with Universal Music Group. And soon admirers of his work saw the first debut album. Its title is "The Greatest Hits vol.1". The golden collection of new Russian rock included many of the singles from this record. In 2010, the second album of the musician was released. Its title is "The Last Album".

Noize MC today

The next album was released in 2011. In parallel, many clips were shot, but the year 2011 was the record for the shot clips. In the spring of 2012, an album called "New Album" appeared.

In 2013, the group "Protivo Gunz" celebrated its tenth anniversary with an anniversary concert. It is known that in 2014 the release of a full-length film is expected, in which the group will be filmed in full force.

Noize MC's personal life

The hip-hoper is not particularly willing to talk about his personal life, believing that it is personal, so as not to be public property. However, in one of his interviews, he spoke about a beautiful wife and two beautiful children.

Ivan and Anna met in 2008 at a concert. Their views on life were similar, in addition, Anya really liked the work of the musician. He made every effort, and after a while she agreed to become his wife. In 2010, Vasily was born to them, and in 2012 Mikhail appeared. Despite being busy, Ivan always strives to be with his family more.

A week later, in the St. Petersburg GlavClub, the song was performed without the help of a telephone and to the accompaniment of live musicians - but not only he managed to learn it during this week Noize MC. The track, based on an accident involving the vice-president of Lukoil, Anatoly Barkov, made a lot of noise in RuNet and the media, giving rise to many questions. Ivan answered FUZZu on the main ones.

FUZZ: First of all, the main question that is asked in connection with the song: why did you immediately blame Barkov for everything, if the investigation had not even begun then, there is no conclusive evidence of the Mercedes' guilt in the accident, and was the driver driving it at all?
Noize MC: If decisive action had not been taken immediately, there would have been no investigation. Clearly there is a cover-up of evidence. The version originally heard on the radio was replaced within a few hours by the infamous "official" one, radically different from the first one - frankly, much more plausible. Brazen, clumsy attempts to cover their tracks. The absence of any timely, intelligible comments from Barkov himself. A soulless press release from Lukoil, striking in its cynicism. All this does not speak in favor of the Mercedes crew. Everyone is trying to blame the driver, but, in fact, his real participation in this accident is generally questionable. It is rather strange that the driver was not injured at all, while Barkov himself, who, in theory, was sitting behind him - that is, in the safest place - received a leg bruise. In any case, in such situations, the decision to enter the oncoming lane is made by the One Who is Being Driven, and not the person behind the wheel. In addition, the traces are certainly not swept up by the driver himself, and clearly not out of a desire to "smear" him. One way or another, Barkov is a key figure in this story.

FUZZ: What will you do if it suddenly turns out that in fact he is not to blame for anything?
Noize MC: I will release another song. I already have the first two lines: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Anatoly Barkov / I have a halo above my head - can't you see?"

FUZZ: Is your opinion about what happened now the same as it was at the time of recording the song? Do you allow, for example, the possibility of a mutual violation?
Noize MC: I personally witnessed many times how such cars with special numbers cynically and brazenly break the rules. Departure to the "oncoming lane" is not "aerobatics" yet, it can be even more abrupt. There was a traffic jam in the Mercedes lane, but there was absolutely no need for the Citroen to break it. Therefore, I believe that the girl behind the wheel of a Citroen has nothing to do with it. My clear opinion, both at the time of recording and now, is fully reflected in the track. They are the same, these opinions.

FUZZ: If it's obvious that the case is being "hushed up", but the details are not clear, wouldn't it be better to write a song about covering up the tracks, and not about all mortal sins at once?
Noize MC: We are dealing with the classic formula "on the thief and the cap is on fire." What for business "hush up" if you are innocent? Why not contact the relatives of the victims personally in order to at least express their condolences in a human and timely manner? The correct song about sweeping did not work out for various reasons. The main one is that close relatives of my friend, Nastya Alexandrina, died, this hurt me very much, I was incredibly angry with the behavior of Barkov himself, Lukoil and the traffic police in relation to this case.

FUZZ: Your fans learned that you are friends with Anastasia Aleksadrina (known in the hip-hop world as Staisha) this year when you recorded the joint track "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" - but in fact you have known each other for a long time ?
Noize MC: We've known each other for about 5 years, recorded at the same studio and still work there. I heard her song, I really liked it, I wanted to make a remix for it, I asked our common sound engineer to introduce me to Nastya about this, which he actually did. Since then, we have been friends, periodically perform and record together, well, there, I don’t know, we give each other gifts for the holidays - ordinary human relationships.

FUZZ: Some publications claim that the song was written at the request of Anastastia. Do I understand correctly that in fact she only told about what happened?
Noize MC: You understand correctly. A tear-stained girl who had just lost her close relatives asked me through her tears, "Vanya, write a song about this" - is that how they imagine it, I wonder? Nobody asked me for anything.

FUZZ: Some people accuse you of "coming to protect your own people", and you wouldn't give a damn about strangers. How do you think a personal encounter with injustice affects creativity? Behind those "protest songs" of yours, in which there are no specific names, are there also any life cases, or just general observations from the outside?
Noize MC: If I wrote a song, it means that I was somehow inspired by some particular case. Life should be smelled, and not read the press releases of "perfumers" about its smell. A personal encounter with injustice makes the songs honest and grounded. You can also be inspired by a news release, but only when what is said there turns out to be somehow related to what you yourself have experienced.

FUZZ: When you wrote the song, did you rely only on publicly available materials, or did Anastasia give some details that are not on the Internet? Was she then already sure of Barkov’s complete fault, or did she allow other options?
Noize MC: I relied on what Nastya herself told me, our mutual friends who visited the scene of the incident with her and, last but not least, on Internet materials. Nobody allowed any other options. I have already said a lot on this topic, I will not repeat myself.

FUZZ: For you, is this a song about a particular Barkov, or about all people like him?
Noize MC: The song was originally written about this particular case, but it is, unfortunately, tendentious. Therefore, it so happened that the "barkov" as a class, as a result, got nuts.

FUZZ: The "blood PR" accusations are hard to take seriously - but do you have any desire to say anything to those making them?
Noize MC: This tragedy touched me personally. And I know well what it is to lose a loved one. This year began for me with the death of my mother. She died a long and painful death from cancer. All the doctors refused her. For six months I injected her with painkillers, lied that everything would be fine, distracted her, as best I could, from gloomy thoughts and looked for any methods of non-traditional treatment. We celebrated the New Year together, and it was a terrible holiday. And on January 3rd, she was gone. If it was not a disease that was to blame for her death, but some specific person, I would simply trample this nit.
When I found out what happened to Nastya's sister and her mother-in-law, I took it very sharply. And he did what he did, in a fit of feelings, completely passing this situation through himself.
As an artist, no matter what you do, no matter how sincere and honest it is - if your actions cause a powerful public outcry, you are immediately accused of indecent and inappropriate PR. The most convenient thing is to shut up and sing n **** suffering songs a la BEASTS and others like them, without allowing yourself any decisive, socially significant actions. They won't be accused of PR. It's probably cool. So be it. I'm sorry, guys, that I'm sticking out here with my pain, responsibility, sense of violated justice and other ostentatious x ***.

FUZZ: Are you afraid that Barkov will somehow get to you?
Noize MC: To be afraid of wolves - don't go to the forest. I will have time to be afraid in the trunk of a car or at the edge of the pines. Now is not the time to be afraid - we must act.

FUZZ: With the help of the song, did you only want to help bring justice at the state level, or also punish Barkov on your own in the only possible way?
Noize MC: Both. Whatever the outcome of the case (there is reason to doubt the fairness of the court, of course), Barkov's name has already become a household name, and that's worth something.

FUZZ: Can you comment on the situation with the removal of Troitsky from the air of "Echo of Moscow" because of his desire to stage your song?
Noize MC: In fairness, it should be noted that I personally didn’t give any discs to Artemy (I couldn’t do it purely physically), it was a bluff to “push through” the program director. I am not surprised by such a reaction - many were afraid to cover this incident in this way. We were refused by radio "Mayak" and in several other places. Troitsky is a great fellow, it is very good that he took this matter so seriously, the participation of the Public Chamber in this process, in principle, is his merit.

FUZZ: Was the song recorded "in a hotel room on a dead laptop", or did you manage to organize quite decent recording conditions?
Noize MC: I was helped by familiar rappers from Vladivostok - Dima MC Graf, a locally famous hip-hop artist and radio host, and Kostya Zur, who wrote the instrumental for the song. The recording was made at their home studio, "Shtrik Code Records". Although the laptop is always with you, and if there was no opportunity to record in a better quality, the song would still see the light at the same time.

FUZZ: In the song, you compared Barkov with Evsyukov, and then lawyer Igor Trunov, who previously dealt with Evsyukov's case, took up this case. Is this a coincidence or not?
Noize MC: It's more of a pattern. It's just that Igor Trunov is one of the few lawyers in our country who is not afraid to take on such complex cases.

FUZZ: Are you happy with the way things are now, or did you want to achieve more when writing the song?
Noize MC: In general, I'm satisfied. The song does its job. The world press has already risen to the ears - an extensive report will soon be released on "National Public Radio" in the USA, including, among other things, a full translation of the text into English. There were also calls from CNN and a popular German radio station. Igor Trunov has already said that if the truth cannot be obtained here, then the matter will be decided at the world level.

FUZZ: Do you think that the song can change the situation with the "barques on the roads" in general, or the maximum that can be achieved is an honest investigation of one specific case?
Noize MC: I sincerely hope that this case will be significant enough to really make a difference. It's difficult and unlikely, but I'm very hopeful.

FUZZ: Now, more than a week after recording the song, do you think you did everything right?
Noise MC: YES. YES! AND AGAIN YES!!!

Noize MC is not only one of the most popular artists of the domestic hip-hop scene and a singer in the mainstream branch of punk rock and alternative music, but also a composer, a public figure (very fragmentary, however), and even a film actor.
Initially Noize MC gained fame thanks to numerous compositions posted on the Internet (especially the works “Summer in the Capital”, “Song for Radio” and “Behind the Closed Door”, which were in circulation on radio and music channels) and freestyles.

Music and songs Noize MC combine several styles. Himself Noize MC making an attempt to describe his creative style, he agreed to the following wise wording: "modern urban music at the junction of hip-hop, punk, grunge, reggae and breakbeat".!!!

But expound biography of Ivan Alekseev we'll start with Noise's childhood and youth. Our hero was born on March 9, 1985 in the city of Yartsevo, Smolensk province.
Noize MC's mother is a chemist by education, but father of Noize MC- a musician, what else will make itself felt. In 1994 they divorced Ivan stayed with his mother. At the age of 8-9 years Noise MS(who at that time still responded exclusively to the simple Russian name Vanya) began to write poetry - mainly in trochee and iambic pentameter, and at the age of 10 his interest was attracted by music.

At the age of 11 young Noize MC enrolled in a music school in the class of classical guitar. In 1997, together with his mother, he moved to Belgorod, where at the regional guitar competition he became a laureate twice: in the crisis of 1998 and the turning point of 2000 ...
At the age of 13, being a fan of guitar rock music, Noize MC organized his first group - his idols were members of the Nirvana group, led by the unforgettable Kurt Cobain. And the core wave of popularity of The Prodigy did not leave him indifferent. Still playing in a rock band but influenced by "Diesel Power" and other electronic anthems - Noize MC trying to write rap.
Together with a friend and classmate Arkady, known as Adik 228 (aka "", aka "mini Neuzik"), Noize MC participated in the local group V.I.P., which, thanks to performances at the venues of the Belgorod region, quickly gained local popularity.

Later buddies Noize MC and Adik organized a rap duo face 2 face. The group performed with great success at the Kharkiv regional amateur art show, as well as at many concerts and competitions in the Belgorod province.

In 2001 Noize MC graduated from a music school, and in 2002 with a gold medal - general education.
Summer 2002 Noize MC was forced to leave the group and move to Moscow, in connection with admission to the rather prestigious Russian State University for the Humanities (RSUH).
Having settled in a hostel, the musician Noize MC took up solo work. And already Noize MC in 2003 he organized a rock band called Protivo Gunz, all of whose members were students from other cities.
According to Ivan, it was in the hostel that he honed his freestyle skills, reading at student parties with a guitar. It was in the hostel that most of the demo tracks of Protivo Gunz and Noize MC made popular by the Internet.

in 2003-05 Noize MC shows a fair amount of perseverance, participating in all kinds of club and hip-hop competitions (and taking prizes along the way - the portal site inserts its five cents), as well as corporate, anniversary and wedding celebrations and freestyle battles.

Despite being busy Noise in solo work, the Protivo Gunz group performed in clubs, basements, bars, recreation centers and outdoor venues - touring the capital and the Moscow region. By the way, few people know that at that time he also manifests himself as a DJ, spinning records at the concerts of the funk-rap group Sixtynine (then the project of the great rap rebel Vis Vitalis).

In 2005, in the final of the ball, which was held as part of the Snickers Guru Klan Noize MC festival, he defeated the notorious (now deceased) MC Molodoy (who soon fell into drug addiction and died under unclear circumstances) and received an offer from the organizers to become a judge and host of the Chel- out” (“Snickers Urbania”). Thereby - Noize MC was able to move from the hostel to a rented apartment right on the Old Arbat.

The entire summer season of 2005, and then - and 2006 Noize MC travels around the country with a paratrooper of Snickers Urbania chocolate marketing and decides to record studio material with the proceeds, some of which is released on various hip-hop collections of that time.

Summer 2006 Noize MC signed a contract with the rap label Respect Production (as a solo artist), but this did not affect the Protivo Gunz group. In 2006, namely on September 9, the group becomes the winner of the Urban Sound contest.
As the main prize, a video was filmed for an old composition from the solo repertoire Noize MC- "Song for the radio." The clip entered the cycle on the Muz-TV channel. In November 2006, the track was broadcast on DFM radio. In March 2007, a re-shot (on the initiative of the Muz-TV channel) video for the same song comes to “replace” the “hot” one.

On April 13, 2007, a contract was signed between Noize MC, Respect Production and the Russian division of Universal Music Group. Initially release debut album Noize MC was planned by the joint efforts of Respect Production and Universal Music Russia, but a little later the previous label completely handed over the artist Noize MC at the disposal of the transnational music corporation Universal, having received solid compensation from foreigners.

At the same time Noize MC wins a resounding victory in the largest Russian-language Internet competition - "The 7th official hip-hop battle of the portal Hip-Hop.Ru". More than 3,000 Russian-speaking rappers from all over the world participated in the competition.
Then to the composition Noize MC a video clip was shot from the battle "Behind the Closed Door", which appeared before the public in September 2007. In the autumn of the same year, the specified composition Noize MC hit the radio and music channels, ranking 10th on MTV's 100 Best Songs of 2007.

On the wave of popularity of this savory release Ivan Noize MC actively gives concerts, reaching the most remote corners of our country, and writes a second album with a working title that is not inferior in originality to the already released debut rap-punk record - Greatest Hits 2. True, the new series of these same Greatest Hits subsequently turned out to be just a reissue of the debut with the addition of some bonus tracks.

Summer 2007 Noize MC starred in one of the main roles of the film "Joke".
Noize MC played Igor Glushko, a high school student, a young musician who moved to the capital after the tragic death of his parents. Same way Noise acted as a composer, writing the soundtrack for the film.
The Prank premiered on May 22, 2008. Based on the film, a video clip was shot for the song Noize MC"My sea".

Debut album Noize MC and further creativity

At the end of May 2008 Noize MC announces the termination of the contract with Universal Music. At the corresponding press conference, a representative of the musician's management (with whom, together Noize MC studied at the institute) explained:
"A good artist needs to be independent from the major labels, and Noize MC has gone from being the youngest new artist in a very short time to an artist who can deal directly with distribution without going through all the labels."
However, the rap portal site dares to assert that these are all beautiful words and another spectacular PR move, in fact - Noize MC let slip on one of the radio broadcasts that the real reason for this "breakdown" was the unjustified expectations of how effectively the international label would undertake its promotion.
The guys (and Noize MC often emphasizes that they have people's democracy in their team) decided that at this stage they would cope with the monetization of the increased popularity themselves without any transnational offices like Universal.

The debut official album of Noize MC under the ambitious title "The Greatest Hits vol.1" was released on the Mystery of Sound label and went on sale on June 17, 2008.
In December 2008 Noize MC participated in the concert of the group "Naiv" (with the leader of this hastily disintegrated punk band Chacha will still sing on the next album Noize MC- in a hurry to remind the site). Also in 2008 Noize MC the main hit of the singer Tanya Tereshina "Fragments of feelings" was written - but, apparently, nothing particularly significant came out of this production. How long have you heard this singer? The editors of the site do not have the slightest idea who it is and what it performs.

"Last Album" Noize MC

May 28, 2010 Noize MC releases the long-awaited "Last Album" - at the same time, the fan base raised a tantrum about the name of the release - because the management of Noize MC tried to hint in a PR release that the matter was not in the dissolution of the group, but in a conceptual approach - associated with the apocalypse. We don't know how to look into the future - but "The Last Album" got its name not because of this (the reasons can be found in the audiobook attached to it, recorded by the band's musicians).

"New Album" door Noize MC

On April 1, 2012, the third official release of Noize MC was released - called briefly and clearly (but without frills) - "New Album".

Citizenship Noize MC

February 28, 2010 Noize MC created and published a video clip “Mercedes S666. Way for the Chariot”, dedicated to the accident with the fatal participation of the relatives of the singer Steisha (a good friend of Ivan) and the owner of an illegal flasher of the vice-president of the Lukoil oil corporation, Mr. Anatoly Barkov.
around it Noize MC video there was a powerful stir - and some well-wishers hinted that the appearance of the "Mercedes S666" was not so much a cry from the heart as a spectacular PR that came out immediately after "Last Album" (download) Noize MC.
A clip was also released later. Noize MC to the environmental hit "Misanthrope-rap", which also contains an unambiguous allusion to the modesty of life and the way of life of the "celestials" from Lukoil.
However Noize MC allowed himself and petty accounts. The track “Who Killed Nikolai Fandeev?” was also published as a kind of revenge for the negative review of a music critic suffering from extreme misanthropy.

In addition to the evil journalists among the admirers Noize MC turned out to be the leadership of the pro-Kremlin Nashi movement. who asked to record an anthem for them, promising the musician a hefty amount of budgetary donations as a fee (at least that’s what the legend says, from which Noize MC does not deny at all - it reminds www.site). Noize MC himself refused this, composing in response to the ironic song "Our Movement".

For bold freestyle rhymes to the rapper Noize MC had to answer even in court. So in 2009, the State Drug Control Service initiated an administrative case against Ivan Alekseev. The manufacturer of alcoholic energy drinks Jaguar organized the Yaga Fest at that time. The invited musicians had to improvise the drink's anthem from the stage. Rising to the stage with a pack of syringes Noize MC sang sarcastically:

Finally, it's time to shut up all these guys.

Firm "Jaguar" firmly convinced of this!

After the chorus ("Yes-Yes! What a cool batch! Welcome to the heroin fest!") Noize MC filled the syringes with a drink and threw it into the crowd. In addition to FSNK claims Noize MC the producer of the energy drink was also presented, accusing him of non-fulfillment of agreements and causing damage to the image of the elite drink.

May 22, 2010, in the program "Culture Shock", on the air of "Echo of Moscow" Noize MC spoke about the inadmissibility of banning concerts of certain groups on the example of the Belgorod region.

July 31, 2010 Noize MC after his concert in Volgograd, he was detained by police officers. He was charged with insulting police officers under the article "Petty hooliganism." A conflict with the police arose during the concert: during the performance of the composition "Grandmothers in a Hat", one of the members of the group Noize MC, drummer Pavel Teterin traditionally went to the hall with a headdress, where, according to the plan of the concert, the audience had to throw a change (this is an element of the show). During this action, law enforcement officers who took this element of the show seriously turned to Noize MC demanding "Stop begging."
In response to this action by the police Noize MC from the stage said:
- I am proud to inform you that Volgograd is the first city where there are so many of these beautiful animals with red cockades. I am glad to inform you that this is the first city where animals with red cockades tell us during the performance of the song "Grandmas in a hat" we are begging. I am glad to inform you that this is one of the few cities where we remember the song "Smoke Bamboo".

On August 2, the court sentenced the musician of this element of the show to administrative arrest for 10 days. The reason for the arrest was the statements made at the concert against the police. In the cell Noize MC recorded a video apology to the police, which later became the chorus of the song "10 Days in Paradise", describing the time the rap artist spent under arrest, and containing very serious criticism of the police.

In an interview Noize MC When asked about the recorded video apology, he replied:
“Well, actually, an apology on camera is crude sarcasm. I was initially surprised that even the police themselves took them literally. I got into such an intricate situation. I was not allowed to contact either the lawyer or the producer - I did not have the opportunity to discuss this moment with anyone.
The fact is that during the court session, my lawyer, on my behalf, said that I, they say, are ready to apologize through the media if some leniency is shown to me. He thought it was a very good idea and insisted on it in every possible way. Accordingly, no leniency was shown to me, but I was later reminded of this point. At the same time, they transparently hinted that a criminal case could be initiated under Article 319 of the Criminal Code, which, of course, is much sadder than 10 days in the future. And I decided to come out of the situation in this way and write such an ironic apology and read it on camera.
because of Arrest Noize MC was unable to perform at the Dobrofest and Snickers Urbania festivals.

August 13 concert was canceled Noize MC in Cheboksary. According to the press service of the artist, Noize MC performance canceled at the coffee grinder hip-hop festival in Cheboksary. The organizers called the producer Noize MC, and asked not to come to Cheboksary. They referred to some "instruction from above", refusing to give the source of the ban.

Noize MC at concerts he uses guitars Gibson SG Special, Gibson Explorer, but recently Noize MC started playing the Yamaha SLG130NW guitar. Myself Noize MC commented it like this:
“I bought myself a new guitar! With nylon strings, for this class, the guitar is, in general, inexpensive - it costs 25 thousand rubles. I bought it by accident - I was looking for gifts in the mall by the eighth of March and came across this thing. It has nylon strings and at the same time it can be cut into a lotion. Apparently this is my new live instrument, because I'm a classical guitarist and I'm used to playing nylon with my nails. But electric guitars - they are all with metal strings and a narrower neck. I suddenly discovered that all my classical skills were not lost and now they can be very easily used in all my music.

civil position
Noize MC at a live concert on the O2TV channel on August 8, 2008 (the show "Take Live"), where he sharply condemned the outbreak of the War in South Ossetia (War 8-8-8), which began that day.
Noize MC has recorded joint tracks with the group "Cockroaches!" - "Lords of the Universe" and "Lyapis Trubetskoy" - "Capital", "Bolt", the main content of which is a protest against the excessive enrichment of the oligarchs and criticism of modern Russian capitalism.

According to Ivan, the Nashi movement asked to record the anthem for them. The rap artist refused this, composing in response to the ironic song "Our Movement".

For freestyle rhymes, the rapper had to answer in court. So, in 2009, the Gosnarkokontrol opened an administrative case against Ivan Alekseev. The manufacturer of alcoholic energy drinks Jaguar organized the Yaga Fest at that time. The invited musicians had to improvise the drink's anthem from the stage. Rising to the stage with a pack of syringes, Noize MC sang:

Everyone tells you that heroin is poison
Finally, it's time to shut up these guys.
He's useful, he's useful, he's useful, period
Firm "Jaguar" firmly convinced of this!

After the chorus (“Yes-Yes! What a cool batch! Welcome to the heroin-fest!”), the rapper filled the syringes with a drink and threw it into the crowd. In addition to the Federal Drug Control Service, Alekseev was also presented with a claim by the energy producer, accusing him of non-fulfillment of agreements and causing image damage.

Noize MC has several anti-fascist songs in its repertoire: "Pushkin Rap", "Black / White", "Eden 14/88" and "Skinhead Girl".

To the question "Is it a pity to lose them?" Noize MC replied: "Good riddance!" .

On February 28, 2010, Noize MC published the track "Mercedes S666", dedicated to an accident on Leninsky Prospekt with the participation of Lukoil Vice President Anatoly Barkov. According to media estimates, the song received a wide response in the Internet and society. The specialized site "Rap.ru" in the material about the results of 2010 noted: "It is difficult to remember at least one more rap video that caused a similar public outcry."

On May 22, 2010, in the program "Culture Shock", on the radio station "Echo of Moscow", Ivan Alekseev spoke out about the inadmissibility of banning concerts of certain groups on the example of the Belgorod region.

On July 31, 2010, Ivan Alekseev, after his concert in Volgograd, was detained by police officers. He was charged with insulting police officers under the article "Petty hooliganism." A conflict with the police arose during the concert: when performing the song "Grandma in a Hat", one of the band members, drummer Pavel Teterin, traditionally went to the hall with a headdress, where, according to the concert, the audience had to throw change (this is an element of the show).
During this show, employees turned to Alekseev with a demand to "Stop begging." In response to this action by the police, Ivan Alekseev said from the stage:
I am proud to inform you that Volgograd is the first city where there are so many of these beautiful animals with red cockades. I am glad to tell you that this is the first city where animals with red cockades tell us that we are begging during the performance of the song "Grandma in a Hat". I am glad to inform you that this is one of the few cities where we remember the song "Smoke Bamboo".

On August 2, the court sentenced the musician to administrative arrest for 10 days. The reason for the arrest was the statements made at the concert against the police. In the cell, Ivan Alekseev recorded a video apology to the police, which later became the chorus of the song "10 Days in Paradise", describing the time spent by the performer under arrest and containing very serious criticism of the police.
In an interview, the rapper, when asked about the recorded video apology, replied: “Well, actually, an apology on camera is rude sarcasm. I was initially surprised that even the police themselves took them literally. I got into such an intricate situation. I was not allowed to contact either the lawyer or the producer - I did not have the opportunity to discuss this moment with anyone. The fact is that during the court session, my lawyer, on my behalf, said that I, they say, are ready to apologize through the media if some leniency is shown to me. He thought it was a very good idea and insisted on it in every possible way. Accordingly, no leniency was shown to me, but I was later reminded of this point. At the same time, they transparently hinted that a criminal case could be initiated under Article 319 of the Criminal Code, which, of course, is much sadder than 10 days in the future. And I decided to come out of the situation in this way and write such an ironic apology and read it on camera. Due to the arrest, Noize MC was unable to perform at the Dobrofest and Snickers Urbania festivals.

On August 13, 2010, the concert in Cheboksary was cancelled. According to the artist's press service, Noize MC's performance at the coffee grinder hip-hop festival in Cheboksary has been cancelled. The organizers called the producer Noize MC Grigory Zorin, and asked not to come to Cheboksary. They referred to some "instruction from above", refusing to give the source of the ban.

On November 10, 2011, on the day of the professional holiday of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Noize MC released a video in English "Bring me your money", in which he plays the role of a Russian policeman collecting bribes. The song's chorus contains the lyrics: "Give me your money in the name of the law! It's time to empty your pocket - give me your money!" ("Bring me your money in the name of the law // It's time to make your pocket clean // Bring me your money - bring, bring, bring").

On December 24, 2011, Ivan took part in the rally "For Fair Elections", which was held in Kazan, and sang the response song "Sam Mr. ... n!" to Vladimir Putin's statement about contraceptives. also in Noize MC interview noted that he sympathized with the later "March of Millions", although he could not take part in it due to family reasons.

On September 12, 2012, the Moscow Department of Culture canceled Noize MC's concert at the Green Theatre, scheduled for September 15, due to the fact that the group's repertoire "does not fit into the concept of the TsPKiO im. Gorky as a park of culture and recreation”, and the park management is “not interested in holding the event” due to “outraged comments from the public about the performances in the park of groups performing songs containing profanity”. However, after a management meeting Noize MC and representatives of the Department of Culture, it was decided that the concert at the Green Theater would nevertheless take place without the use of profanity.

On August 14, 2014, Noize MC performed at the Lviv festival with the flag of Ukraine on his waist. Noize MC commented on this episode as follows:
Our repertoire includes remix to the hit of the Ukrainian group "Vopli Vidoplyasova" - "Dance". Half of the text of the song is original, in Ukrainian, half - added by me, in Russian.
At concerts, we always arrange a flash mob to this song: we invite a huge number of people to the stage, learn with them the simplest dance of four movements, and everyone dances with us - both the audience in the hall and those on the stage. When I was about to show these movements, I went to the edge of the stage, and some girl who was standing below held out a flag to me. As a sign of friendship between our peoples, I took it and decided to use it in the performance, considering it absolutely logical and appropriate, especially in the context of the song I was going to perform.

In August 2014 Noize MC performed at the Kubana festival. Immediately after the words of Noize MC “Let's talk to you about Ukrainian Nazism. Who among you was in Lviv, raise your hands” live Internet broadcast of the festival was stopped by the organizers. Further words of Noize MC were the following words: “Well, is there Ukrainian Nazism there? And who was not, what do you think? So, I was there - there is no Nazism. There are people who are tired of enduring all this, and there is a president who has stolen so much that it is already impossible to count. Later, Noize MC noted that "during the performance of the Russian-Ukrainian song "Tantsi", we simply turned off the sound in the middle of the track." In protest Noize MC performed a joint track with "Anacondaz" naked. The performance took place after one in the morning on a small stage.

In August 2014, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation put forward a proposal to ban Andrei Makarevich and Noize MC due to the fact that, according to the party, they “essentially support the punitive operation of the Kyiv junta in the Donbass.” Noize MC responded to this proposal with a new song "Come $ ome All" (Totalitarian trap).

In the first half of October 2014, concerts in Omsk, Krasnoyarsk, Vladivostok, Irkutsk, Khabarovsk, Kursk and a charity concert in Belgorod were canceled at Noize MC. Poor ticket sales and "lack of venues" were cited as reasons for the cancellation. The organizer of the concert in Belgorod indicated the following reason: “The concert was not allowed to be held by the Security Council of the administration of the city of Belgorod, due to “possible provocations”. None of our guarantees, alas, could change this decision. Calculated Noize MC, in the near future after the performance in Ukraine, more than 60% of the group's concerts were canceled.
Ivan Alekseev notes that the reasons for the cancellation were "pressure from the authorities", as well as inspections of concerts by sappers and representatives of the Federal Drug Control Service. As a prime example of pressure Noize MC cites the fact that the authorities "even met the group in hotels and train stations" in order to prevent concerts from being held in any alternative places.

In April 2015, after a meeting in the administration of Krasnodar, the city prosecutor's office expressed its fear that before the upcoming Noize MC concert and during it, incidents provoked by the opponents of the musician (“non-registered Cossacks”) are possible. The organizers of the Krasnodar concert decided to cancel the event. Subsequent concerts in the artist's spring tour schedule were held without incident.

Most appearances Noize MC are accompanied by the alternative band Protivo Gunz, created by him in 2003. The current state of the group is reflected in the comments of the administration of the official Noize MC forum:
