In the West, gangsta rap is a very popular type of hip-hop style. Its recitative texts describe the fate of criminals, most often convicted of drug trafficking or robbery. Chernyak Anton is known as one of the first rappers to perform criminal songs. Moreover, an unusual approach to this style brought him popularity.
Biography
The lyrical hero described in the songs of "Bloodthirsty" was born in the early seventies, like Anton Chernyak. The date of birth of the latter is unknown - the musician avoids talking about his personal life. He is much more willing to talk about his work and studies in an interview.
Anton, in spite of obscene texts, is considered an intelligent person, since he is an artist by training (he successfully graduated from the Moscow Art and Art Museum in memory of 1905). But he did not practice this type of art, as he considers it stupid to perform editorial tasks in magazines. For the same reason, he did not seek other opportunities to apply his talent.
For a long time Anton Chernyak interrupted by different earnings. He tried himself as a bartender, but was fired, as he often took out bottles of expensive alcohol from the workplace with garbage. He worked as a deboner at a meat factory.
The first musical samples
Even on a student bench, Anton Chernyak, whose age is known only approximately, began to write songs. The first creative tests were not at all similar to the work of the “Bloodstream”. He wrote lyric poems devoid of mat.
The texts were superimposed on the beads that were fashionable at that time and were performed as part of the Fenso art and creative group, in which Dmitry Feldman, the second member of the Krovostok, performed with Anton. He positioned himself as a writer and installer.
Later Chernyak Anton, nicknamed "Shilo", spoke with the team "PG", whose name stands for "anti-tank grenade." In this period, the author's texts are characterized by greater rigidity compared to earlier works. There was an idea to read a monotonous text about sex, narcotic drugs and criminal life.
"Bloodstream"
The history of the Krovostok group began in 2004. On her official website, 8 tracks appeared that became part of the first album, “Rivers of Blood”. An unusual approach to gangsta rap drew attention to the team, which became interested in Moscow clubs. Young people began to be invited to private events.
In 2006, Anton Chernyak and his group experienced a decline in the interest of the public, fed up with "boyish" stories. The era of glamor and club music has come.
Clubs stopped organizing concerts, and the Afisha magazine changed the tone of publications. If earlier journalists praised the work of the team, then after 2006 they began to condemn them. Fans noted that the texts became more superficial. Many claimed that Shilo signed up. Several tracks from the second album were highly praised by critics. For example, a composition authored by tradition was Anton Chernyak - “Biography”.
What is the group doing now
Nevertheless, at the beginning of the two thousandth "Krovostok" - a new and incomprehensible phenomenon - it was still heard by the public. At the peak of popularity, musicians were invited to participate in the filming of the film "Tin." At that time, the team released the eponymous composition. The script also arranged for rappers, but friction arose in the course of working with the director. He is too free, according to Anton, changed the script. Because of this, the musicians did not come to the scoring of the film.
Chernyak Anton writes weak texts, but tries to put his soul into them. He takes plots of life that are understood by many, and with a mixture of obscene vocabulary and jargon makes songs attractive to the public at a more mature age. Often, the work of “Krovostok” was compared with the group “Factor-2”, but the audience of the first team in 2004 was about 30 years old, and the second listened to teenagers.
In 2017, the group presented the song "Head".
To date, the team has 5 studio albums and 9 video clips. Boris Barabanov (producer and radio host), in an interview with Kommersant newspaper, said that the collective’s songs are the best works on the theme “dashing 90s,” and he could have included them in history textbooks if they were to be quoted. Musician Alexander Laertsky believes that Krovostok is ahead of time.
Personal life
The performer does not care about the image of the rapper. Chernyak wants him to be accepted first of all as an artist, and not as a notorious artist. For this reason, the musician did not change his native Textiles (Moscow region) to the center of the capital.
More than once Anton Chernyak, who stands out against the background of other people with a specific appearance and deep knowledge of criminal life, was asked about his personal life. In his interviews Chernyak said that he has no children. They were replaced by the
cat Vasily, who has been living in the family for several years. Mother, according to Anton, does not share his views on creativity, therefore, does not listen to new tracks of the group. Interestingly, Anton does not answer questions about his wife. He does not say that he is single, but at the same time he does not comment on his personal life. It is not known whether he is in a relationship and who is his chosen one.
