In modern Russian culture, rap music does not occupy a central place. These are melodies for amateurs, usually accompanied by poems about life that do not sing, but "read" (recited in a special manner). The group "Triada" is one of the well-known musical groups, creating in this genre.
The beginning of time
In 1997, one of the founders of the legendary group Vova moved to Krasnodar, wishing to get education and create his own group. At that time, our hero is only 15 years old and he has nothing but legendary wide pants.
He finds the first comrade in interests at the university. The reason for acquaintance and the subsequent friendship became a T-shirt with a print House of Pain. A new acquaintance was called Victor, he was Mowgli. The decision to create the group came almost immediately, the collective was called Triple V, the first texts were English-language. It was a special time, then the rap was not popular, in Russia it was not listened to, and it was simply unrealistic to find Russian performers of this genre. Before the recording of the tracks did not come, but the young men tried to write music and poetry.
Nigativ
Very soon the duo of musicians, calling themselves Triple V, meets Paddington. Often this young man is represented as the Jinn, Pisces, Lion or simply Leo. The fan of exquisite nicknames comes up with the first pseudonym for Vova - Negro. Why did the blue-eyed guy of the completely Slavic appearance suddenly turn black? It's simple: Vova was different from others in the habit of constantly reading to himself under his breath or at the top of his voice the couplets of foreign (mostly black) performers. Looking ahead, it is worth saying that it was with the next idea of Paddington four years later that the Negro turned into Nigativa. "Triad" is a rap group recognized today due to the unique manner of the performance of its leader and founder, and many of the modern fans do not know where his unusual pseudonym came from. However, at first nothing happened, the compositions were not recorded, the musicians tried to engage in breakdancing and draw graffiti.
Where does the "Triad" begin?
Mowgli and Nigativ get acquainted with the Krasnodar rapper Scatto. Already the three of them are creating a new project BDX. Around the same time, the KTF-Key Town Family is formed - an alliance of young rappers, breakdanceers and graffiti artists. The idea is simple: all members of the informal brotherhood should support each other and help in creativity. However, the association, consisting of 42 young people, soon collapses, not bringing its members a tangible benefit. And very soon a long-awaited concert, we recall that the group "Triad" was called then BDX. However, the performance ends with a complete failure because of technical problems. After Mowgli decides to become a family man and quit with music, Scatto refuses to work in a team. The nigative remains alone and not in a better mood. The situation was saved by the case, Vova's neighbor in the apartment Jazz met with the music lover Rico (Asvatur). After listening to fashionable in New York rap music, the students decided to once again try to create something of their own. This is how the group "Triad" appeared in its first composition.
History of success
The author's lyrics required music, Cres agreed (earlier Scatto) to help. It was at his house that the group "Triada" got to know another new rap group, which includes Lesha, Tito, and later Dino. Very soon the staff increased to 7 people, then the first performance at the local club was organized. The whole further history of the group consists entirely of the elimination of individual participants and their replacement by new musicians. An interesting fact - even Nigativ thought to quit with music and for several months officially left the band. So what is a "Triad"? The composition of the group in the full sense of the word boils down to two people: Nigativ and Dino. It is their philosophy and thoughts that prevail in the songs.
At different times, the duo of rappers were helped by friends and casual acquaintances, becoming ideological inspirers, composers or even temporary participants. Fame and success to the team came suddenly. Dino had to be drafted into the army, the agenda came in just one of the most unfortunate moments for the team. "Triad" records for three days the last album (for memory and for themselves), preparing to say goodbye to creativity and spend Lesha in the service. However, Dino suddenly gets a respite, and thanks to farewell songs the band gets an invitation to RapMusic 2003.
Discography and creativity these days
The official debut album is "Antidote", the work on which began in his native Krasnodar immediately after the conquest of the Moscow scene. The clip for the song "The Dead City" falls into the rotation of the Russian-language MTV channel, and at this very moment the band becomes really famous and popular among fans of rap music. Then work on new compositions and albums begins, cooperation with other rap artists, shooting of video. Already in 2005, Orion was released, then in 2006 Dew Point, in 2007 - August, 2008 - Not to Sleep, and Vitamin, 2009 - Sixth Sense. In addition, the group of fans happy with live concerts, collections of the best hits and live recordings. In 2012, the new album - "My Eyes Are Open", in 2013 - "Simple", "Plus-Minus", "Istok", and in 2014 - "Numbers" and "Notes of the Madman", in 2015 - "Third Breath". Members of the team claim that this discography will not end, and very soon you can expect new products. The songs of the group "Triada" are used as soundtracks to many modern Russian films. What is interesting, besides work in the collective, Nigativ finds time for personal solo work and periodically pleases the fans with his compositions.
