Parodies of popular and rap artists have been popular for years. The leader of the group “Krovostok” Shiloh became famous in this field. He creates rap lyrics that look like chanson. Many critics attributed the work of this collective to gansta rap, or rather a parody of it. It is believed that this is the first group that began to produce skits.
Shyla ("Bloodstream"): biography
Shilo is one of the creative pseudonyms of
Anton Chernyak, which is also often called the debris. He is the author of most of the texts of the group and its constant soloist. His exact date of birth is unknown. Shiloh (“The Bloodstream”), how old he never speaks directly, but the lyrical hero of the songs was born in the early seventies.
Confirms Shilo’s birth year and the Odnoklassniki website on his profile there in 2017 is the age of 46 years old, thus a soloist was born in about 1971-1972. You should not expect that you will be able to communicate with Anton through this social network. He visited his page in 2013.
Prior to joining the Krovostok group, Shilo was educated at Moscow State Art University. He is a certified artist. He was offered a job in magazines, but he found editorial assignments stupid and did not want to spend his life sketching. He did not use the artist’s talent for his career. The first time after graduation, Shilo worked at various enterprises: a bartender, a meat grinder, a loader.
Group Creation History
Together with his fellow student Dmitry Feldman, Shilo (Krovostok) began a creative career in the Fenso group. Later Anton worked on the PG project and often performed with him in the unusual PushkinG bar. Initially, the creative union of Sheela and other participants was based on the creation of modern compositions of a lyrical orientation, but such music did not bring fame.
Later, in 2003, the "Bloodstream" was created. Shilo interpreted the name in different ways: as a derivative of the two words "blood" and "east", as well as its direct meaning. It is believed that the work of Shila at the meat processing plant left its mark on the work of the group. The group positions itself as a fun hobby of the creative intelligentsia, a parody of the popular gansta rap.
Secret of success
Shilo (“Bloodlet”) has no acting data and does not convey the mood of the compositions and the lyrical hero very well. Its performance is assessed as deliberately bad, and the texts themselves tell of a typical brigade of chaos from the 90s. It would seem that with such initial data there will be few listeners, but it turned out the other way around - many are delighted with the style of the group.
Sophisticated people admire the concept and performance of the tracks, the subtle irony that permeates each song. Young people perceive the stories of the lyrical hero at face value. The images of Krovostok are quite colorful, so listeners vividly imagine the atmosphere of gangster life. Interestingly, not one of the group’s leaders was in prison. Many consider it nonsense that intellectuals were able to tell brutal stories so that they were believed.
This group is not good for its rhymes and reading style. Admirers of Sheela's work praise him for unusual personifications, metaphors and created images. This is the secret to success. One of the producers even said that if the lyrics were a bit more decent, he would include the group’s creativity in history textbooks.
Lyrical hero
The main character of all the songs is a lazy messenger, the main thing for which is the satisfaction of all his whims. It was on this image that the "Bloodstream" rose. Shilo believes that such a hero, as never before, is close to many Russians. First of all, many people want it to be good for them, and not for anyone else. From reckless deeds they are stopped only by the Criminal Code.
From the side it may seem that the work of musicians is of the same type, but in reality this is not so. In the albums you can find both lyrical and vulgar songs. Despite the contradictory views, the musicians were able to turn more than one young man from an attractive thieves' life. “Krovostok” shows it not like films and TV shows of the late 90’s, but tells what it really is. Each listener in his own way evaluates the creativity of the group. Some regard their tracks as philosophical, others consider them to be parody, and still others realistic. Invariably, one thing is in them - a simple and understandable lyrical hero, in the image of which Shilo appears at concerts.
