Oksimiron is one of the most famous Russian-speaking rappers of our time. The biography of Oxymiron is filled with constant difficulties and trials, which was reflected in his work. In the life of the artist, you can write a book, it is so diverse.
His fans share the most varied assumptions about their idol on the forums. This is due to the fact that the biography of Oxymiron is described only in several of his interviews.
Youth
Real name is Miron Fedorov. Born in 1985 in St. Petersburg. His family represented a typical Soviet intelligentsia. My father was a scientist, engaged in developments in the field of theoretical physics. Mother worked in the library. Both were Jews. In 1994, the whole family moved to Germany. Father found a job there. But after a while it became clear that with the collapse of the GDR, former Soviet physicists were no longer in demand.
Miron studied at the Wechtler school. The teaching was conducted in German, because at that time in Germany there were not enough immigrants to open Russian-language schools. Relations with classmates were very tense. German children did not like the Russian visitor, which is why conflict situations regularly arose. Later, Miron will reflect his hatred of classmates in the song "The Last Bell", which he wrote under the impression of the film "Class".
According to the plot of the Estonian film, two students tired of bullying arrange reprisals against classmates.
First experience
In his youth, Oksimiron tries to throw out his aggression through creativity. Most of all he is attracted to music. Oxymeiron gets its first rap experience. He composes texts in German under the pseudonym Myth. Interest in music makes you try yourself in different directions. But the lack of necessary data returns Miron to rap. At the age of 15, he begins to read in Russian. The lack of communication with Russia gives Miron reason to believe that he is the only Russian-speaking rapper. But after a trip to Peter, he realizes that this is far from the case.
Relocation to the UK
After the 9th grade, the Oximiron family moves to England. There already are no problems with classmates. Miron demonstrates excellent language skills. Having learned German, by the age of 16 he is fluent in English. At school, he is fully committed to school. In addition to school, he reads a lot. According to Miron himself, he spent almost all his free time behind books. Moreover, these were quite serious works like Loughcraft or Nietzsche. At school, he was taught by a teacher from Oxford, who saw talent in a Russian emigrant.
She advised him to try to enter the philological faculty of a famous university. Miron was interviewed largely due to his literary English, which he studied by reading the classics, which at that time was rare among young people.
Disease
Miron studies as a historian of the Middle Ages. But in 2006, doctors diagnosed him with manic depression, which leads to expulsion from the university. This was told by Oksimiron himself. The songs also reflected this fact. For example, the track "Spontaneous spontaneous combustion" talks about problems with the rapper's psyche. After a short break, Miron recovers at the university and receives a diploma.
After graduation, it turns out that certification of one of the most prestigious universities in the world does not guarantee a decent job. Here the biography of Oximiron resembles the life path of legends such as Eminem or Dr. Dre. He works as a loader, seller, guide and many others. Acquainted with the extensive representation of Russian emigrants in Europe. This reminds him of his passion for rap. Miron combines his name with a literary term and begins to write songs under the pseudonym Oksimiron. The albums “Eminem Show” and “Colaps” by American rapper Slim Shady leave a noticeable imprint on the way Miron composes rap.
Oxxxymiron, can be described as a battle (battle). The texts are filled with hatred and wit about opponents. After Oksimiron’s participation in the famous online battle, he is invited to the Optic Russia label. There he writes co-songs with Shock, Dandy, First Class and other emigrant rappers. It was on this label, produced by German Kul Sawash, that Oksimiron gets its first popularity. In 2010, he leaves Optics. But at the same time he continues to cooperate with Shock. Together with him they create the label "Wagabunt", which is translated from German as "wanderer".
Gaining popularity
It was at this time that a wide Russian audience learns that there is such a rapper Oksimiron. Albums Oxy and Shock come out in mid-September. The collection of tracks "Eternal Jew" is a real breakthrough in Russian rap. The complex combination of rhymes and punches does not leave fans of the genre indifferent. Oxymiron's style is different from all other Russian MCs.
Miron reads in the style of English grime. That is, a fast recitative is imposed on the dub step minus one. In the texts, along with obscene language, there are truly book definitions and archeology, which makes the rapper even more unusual.
In 2010, there was a conflict with Roma Zhigan during the Oxy and Shock tour of Russia. In his texts, Shock insulted Zhigan. To take revenge, the rapper broke into the apartment, where were Mirok, Shock and his girlfriend. Together with several masked people, they beat Shock and forced them to ask for forgiveness, while filming what was happening on camera. After this conflict, Oxymiron disconnects from the Wagabund label and continues his solo career.
