Russian Old School Hip Hop

Russian old school hip hop is a genre deeply rooted in the socio-political landscape of post-Soviet Russia, offering gritty, narrative-driven lyrics over raw, unpolished beats. Emerging in the late 1990s and early 2000s, it draws heavily from the golden era of American hip hop, yet infuses local flavor with distinctive storytelling styles and traditional Slavic musical elements. Artists like КИРПИЧИ and Kasta focus on everyday struggles, social issues, and personal reflections, often delivered with a sharp, poetic touch. The genre is characterized by its emphasis on authenticity, community, and the lyrical prowess of its MCs. This has solidified its place as a powerful voice for a generation grappling with rapid change and identity.
