Together, friends purchased a computer and audio equipment. Basta managed to restore his old songs. But the material was unsuitable for the project.
Yuri and Vasily went to Moscow to start collaborating with some record label. Almost everywhere, friends were refused. The only one who helped the Rostov rappers was Bogdan Titomir. He studied the demodisk provided by Basta. The material seemed interesting to him. As a result, Bogdan Titomir invited Vasya and his colleagues to the creative association Gazgolder.
In 2006, the Basta group released their first album. The entire circulation of records was sold out in a couple of weeks. The guys did not count on such success.

The musicians went on a tour. They performed at large venues and in fashion clubs. Everywhere people met them with a bang.
