A public figure recently spoke about his preference for Russian rappers during a discussion with a veteran interviewer from teleprogramma.pro. He shared that he enjoys the works of contemporary acts in the genre and values the voice of the scene.
The interviewer characterized the lines of Scryptonite and Husky as poetic. He also praised Vasily Vakulenko, known by the stage name Basta, calling him an outstanding poet who has the potential to become a classic in time.
According to the actor, there is little understanding why Basta, Scryptonite, or Husky are not more widely studied by students applying to acting programs. He suggested that these poets could offer meaningful insights to aspiring actors and enrich their craft.
He noted a long-standing love for poetry that began in school days, a habit he credits in part to his mother who fostered an appreciation for verse. The actor added that his reading habit evolved and broadened over the years as he explored more authors and forms of expression.
Basta started his musical journey in 1997 as part of the group Psycholyric. The ensemble evolved into Casta in 1999. The artist gained broad recognition with the release of the track My Game. His first album, Basta 1, followed in 2006, marking a significant milestone in his recording career.
In a separate report, it was mentioned that the artist at one point earned a substantial amount for a single performance, highlighting the financial impact and popularity of rap artists in the region.
Earlier in the year, another well-known performer, Mikhail Shufutinsky, discussed the reasons behind canceling a planned foreign tour, drawing attention to the challenges artists face while touring internationally.
