The Caspian Cargo group, whose biography, photos and videos of which are now in constant demand by young people, is a musical group that has quickly rushed into our country from the East, or rather, from warm Azerbaijan. The collective performs rap music. It is believed that today this group called “Caspian Cargo” (the group consists of only two people) is the most successful on the Russian rap scene. It is noteworthy that the members of this group themselves are Azerbaijanis, but this does not prevent them from finding a common language with the Russian-speaking audience.
"Ves"
Anar Zeynalov (stage name "Ves") is the first of the duet. He was born in the capital of Azerbaijan, a beautiful old city, on October 5, 1983. Already from childhood, the boy began to attract art. And although it was a youth movement, the so-called underground, the fact remains: the teenager showed his talent. Anar did not just download and listen to his favorite rap artists, he tried to rap himself. Little by little, recording his videos and putting them on the Internet, he grew up as a musician.
"Gross"
The second member of the duo was "Gross" or Timur Odilbekov. Born, like Zeynalov, in Baku, Odilbekov was half a year younger than his partner. His birthday is May 19, 1984. Timur, one might say, was also fond of music from early childhood. At first, I just listened to my favorite songs. And later he began to try to sing songs. Anar and Timur gained fame only by uniting with each other and stepping out onto the stage together.
Climbing
The musical career of the guys calling themselves “Caspian Cargo” (you already know the composition of the group) is similar to the creative way of such groups. The guys started looking for their path to the top of the musical Olympus back in 2000. Currently, musicians of that period say that these were early and still unprofessional attempts to win success. There was no musician in any kind of professional rap school or similar institution in their hometown. Therefore, they studied this art on their own. The first recordings were made in some kind of home studio. However, this was the first luck. Soon, the duet suggested performing the song and making a video clip already by the famous representative of this direction in music - rapper Guf, who accidentally heard the group’s compositions.
It was this first clip with Guf that introduced the Russian viewer and listener to the Azerbaijani guys. In addition, it was clear from the video that the young rappers are quite well versed in life, have a fairly good knowledge base, including in Russian classical literature. So, in the composition “All for One Dollar” the Caspian Cargo group used some excerpts from the book of the famous writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
After the release of the clip and song with Guf, the group receives numerous offers from other famous hip-hop artists. All offer them joint projects. Among such popular stars were Khatyn, Slim and rapper Tipsi Tip. And this is not surprising, because the guys have good vocal skills, a sense of tact, and their stage image contributed to their popularity.
Personal life
Information about the family and private life of the duet participants is very stingy. They themselves do not like to reveal their entire history to the press, so their biography is, in many ways, possibly embellished by their fans. So, there is a rumor that Timur was once in prison, although because of what - it is unknown. Maybe this is not true, but such a rumor arose on the basis of the texts of some songs in which thieves' motives slip. One way or another, at present Gross has a family - a wonderful wife and two children. The second member of the group does not provoke such rumors about himself, although the texts written by him also have some relation to the criminal world.
What are they singing about
The Caspian Cargo group performs quite a variety of songs, the meaning of which is multifaceted. Everyone can find in their repertoire a composition that will become very close. In their arsenal are songs filled with questions about the meaning of life, and raising some urgent problems. There are those in which the main message is the problem of the existence of people on the brink. Considering that Timur and Anar are already quite old people, many fans listen to their opinion, transmitted through songs. Some simply experience some common moments of life with the main characters, while others, on the contrary, are looking for a solution to problems in the work of the Caspian Cargo group. The group’s photo has recently become very interested in their fans who want to see people who were able to voice their inner human problems.
Creativity lately
Now we can say with confidence that the “Caspian Cargo” has nevertheless achieved success. The photo of the group became recognizable. Not so long ago, the guys recorded a new song together with rapper Liman, which collected a lot of commendable reviews. It is called "Get there - write." On the Internet on one of the portals, this song hit the top twenty songs of the past year, and fans spoke of it as the most male song of 2014.
Currently, the guys from Caspian Cargo are actively working on the creation of the next collection, which will be called “Party A / Party B”. The album is about to go on sale, and rapper fans are hoping it won't let them down.
Literally in the near future, the Caspian Cargo group plans to go on a Russian tour. The route is still unknown, but most likely they will go through all the large settlements of the country. And not only in its European part, but they will also capture Siberia with the Far East.
So, in a relatively short period of time, talented guys from Baku became popular, and the names of the Caspian Cargo group, more precisely, its creators and members, became known throughout the post-Soviet space.
