The best benchmarks: Russian

In recent years, rap in Russia has developed to an incredible scale. There were many performers who work in different directions. Russian rappers write texts for every taste and have a lot of admirers. Their compositions are liked by different groups of people, but the masters of domestic rap will not leave almost nobody indifferent.

People's rating

This rating is considered the most honest. After all, it is compiled on the basis of queries in the search engines and a fraction of the total listening to music on social networks. Let's name the three leaders:

• Guf - he not only performs ambiguous compositions, the main theme of which is drug addiction, but also actively gives reasons for discussion by the press. What is it worth only his arrest in Krasnoyarsk or the numerous novels that are attributed to the performer. At one time on the Internet there were rumors that the reper died.
• Basta - many rappers (Russians) are guided by this artist, because for several years he does not leave the top positions of the charts. His compositions are more lyrical and melodic, which attracts a fairly large audience of listeners.
• Noize MC is an ambiguous performer who actively collaborates with rock bands and often combines different sounds. He was also famous for his active civic position.

On the domestic stage there are many talented performers who attract people by submitting texts. Many rapper Russian have achieved popularity thanks to the Internet, but there are other ratings.

The most outstanding benchmarks according to the version of musical critics

In 2016, many benchmarks received good expert assessments. The top three looks like this:

1. Oxxxymiron - on account of this benchmark, who studied in Oxford, while only two albums and countless tracks, which allowed him to become the "King of the Rap of 2016". In addition, he is a prototype protagonist of the series "London", which is partly biographical.
2. Slim liked the critics for the depth of texts and zeal. He produces high-quality albums almost every year.
3. Ptaha (Zanuda) for a long time gained experience in the composition of different groups, now he experiments a lot and produces only high-quality material.

These rappers (Russians) deserve high marks not only from critics, but also from listeners. They actively touring and regularly fall into the rotation of musical channels.

Growing in popularity

It can not be said that only the novice performers are on the last list. Their rating is simply not as great as those listed above.

• Max Korzh - was the opening of the Russian rap scene. His texts mostly talk about relationships.
• KReeD in 2015 released his first album "Bach". Earlier, his first video scored 4 million views, which made him pay attention to employees of the label Black Star.
• L'One is a Siberian-born siberian, who is only gaining popularity. He was a participant of the project "Battle for Respect" on one of the musical channels.

This top Russian benchmark is based on downloading and listening to their tracks over the past three months. Their compositions can also often be heard on TV shows, films and on TV.
