But unexpectedly, in 2018, Face released the album “Ways of Incomprehensible,” which turned out to be a powerful political statement and contains a protest against the current situation in the country.

Battle rap quotes

A sharp jump in the popularity of rap in Russia was largely facilitated by the appearance of the battle platform Versus. The organizers of verbal fights finally managed to convey to the mass audience that the battle is not a blind insult to the opponent, but a personal confrontation, requiring participants to erudition, knowledge of the word and understanding of psychology.
