All of them were founded at the beginning or in the mid-seventies of the last century. However, this fact does not prevent them and today to give the heat on thousands of concerts.The above performers are exclusively foreign and play compositions in the rock genre or lyrical ballads. But among Russian-speaking artists a lot of scenic long-livers. Such as a rap group "Casta".
The history of creation and composition
Like many other teams, the "caste" during their existence changed the composition and even the name. The foundation of the current group was the "Psycholirik" team, founded by simple guys from Rostov-on-Don Vladislav Leskevich and Denis Torikashvili, who took himself nicknames Vlad and Tyndan, respectively.
After a year and a half, another participant was joined to the group - Mikhail Epifanov on nicknamed Shymon, and after six months and Basta Hrew, he was also Vasily Vakulentko, replenished the ranks of Psycholika.
Over time, Denis and Vasily dropped. The first one moved to England and now earns that she fits tattoos, and the second became an independent artist, a famous world at the three alter of the ego - Basta, Noggano and N1NT3ND0 (read as "Nintendo" - in honor of the eponymous game console).
The current composition of the RPP Group includes the remaining times of Leshkevich and Epifanov, as well as the newcomers of Andrei Hamilya Poomy and Anton Snake Mishenina. Paskaya entered the "caste" in 1999, and snakes - only in 2005.
For the sake of fair, it is worth noting that the guys were familiar with each other and before that, since they consisted in the so-called "united caste" - a conglomerate, which includes a number of teams and solo performers. Therefore, it is not surprising that all of them can be heard in the same songs even before one or another rapper officially became a member of the group.
In addition to general musical interests, the members of the group were combined and similar pedigrees. The relatives of each of them are one way or another were connected with the Rostov State University. Hamilya, his father was a teacher of geometry, Grandfather Snake had a relation to the Geofaka, Mom Vlad worn at the Department of Philosophy, Father Shyma was Dr. Science, taught the highest mathematics.
A little known about the personal life of each participant. For example, the rapper Vlad met with the future wife of Vitaly, Miss Bikini 2008, in Minsk on the shooting of the video for the song "Meeting". Six months after dating, a wedding took place. At one time, Vitaly was engaged in a Loona Shop decoration brand. Now the musician family is brought up by two sons - Elisha and Ustin. Photo of children's leader's leader often appear in open access. Wife Rapper Shyma is the name of Diana, they will grow up their son and daughter.
The Musician Snake in 2006 was born firstborn, but soon the young man divorced his mother's mother. In 2014, His wife became Alina, Elephant, who later presented the second son to Ramper. Hamil turned out to be the most freedom-loving team, but according to social networks, his chosen is the name of Dasha Ruby, and she is also a musician.
Music
The group was formed in 1995, but at that time was called "psycholirik". The new version of the name was proposed by Vasily Vaculenko. Then another young rapper Basta considered that the new name of the team should give the tribute to the Wu-Tang Clan group, which made many of them and caused rap. The term "caste" approached as it is impossible, since I learned the community (like CLAN) and had some philosophical-esoteric subtext (as Wu-Tang - the terrain of Justasan, known to Taoist monasteries and martial arts masters).
However, even before renaming, rappers managed to release the Debut Album "First Punch". Looking at the results of their works and making the appropriate conclusions, in 1999, the guys released their second album "Three-dimensional rhymes", in which the entire "combined caste" took part. The first edition consisted of 13 tracks, the second from 14, and the third - out of 18. Initially, "three-dimensional rhymes" came out on tape recorder cassettes, and reissued already on CDs.
In the same 1999, Caste won the Grand Prix at the largest Rap Music festival at that time. Together with the release of the album, this event helped the popularity of rappers throughout Russia and in the neighboring countries. The first more more or less large tour tours began.
In 2000, a new label was formed specifically for the "caste", called Respect Production. Freshlyanized company removed for rappers their first full-fledged clip "We take it on the streets", which became a hit among fans.
The next song on which the clip was removed was "an order of magnitude higher." It happened in 2001. At the same time, Yuriy Yarushnikov began to cooperate with the "Casky", he also DJ trunk.
2002 issued for a group rich to events. Then the album "louder water, above the grass" was released, which became the embodiment of the creative and technical qualities of the performers at that time. The plate created the necessary resonance in the press and on TV. As soon as he began to fluff, the lady released a solo album, called "what we should do in Greece."
Due to the fact that the names of the guys were heard, the director Yegor Konchalovsky ("Relator", "Escape", "Our Masha and Magic Walnut") agreed on the use of two compositions - "duplicator" and "hot time" - in a new film With Mikhail Ulyanov, Viktor Sukhorukov, Evgenia Sidichene and Gaucheno Kutsenko. This tape was "Antikiller", the screening of the novel of the same name Danil Koretsky.
In 2003, Casta became the organizer of the new music festival "Our People", which turned out to be another important milestone in the formation of the genre. In the 2004th solo album, Hamil broke out. Despite the fact that his plate "Phoenix" is called Solo, in her records managed to participate and his comrades. Independently Andrei only sterling the album.
A pair of years later, the next track of the performers was used as a Lada Racing Club autoimulant soundtrack. At the same time, the new nomination was introduced on MUZ-TV, the winner of which became the "Casta" - "The Best Rap / Hip-Hop project of the year."
Six years after the release of the previous album, we are talking about the general, and not about solo - rappers released a new plate, called the "ill into the eyes". The first edition included 21 compositions, and the reissue is already three more. The listeners warmly met the release, and critics positively noted more serious work on the texts and the musical component of the record.
Following the release of the new album, the restructuring of the Respect PRODUCTION followed. When all the business moments were established, the group in full, first shot by shooting "Radio signals", "Meet" and "around noise", and then holding concerts.
The year in the history of the group was released by the release of the Album "HZ", recorded by two participants of the team - Hamil and Snake (in honor of what, actually, the record), as well as the soundtrack to the comedy drama "inadequate people" Roman Karimov ("Smrequids", " Everything immediately, "" Gulia, Vasya! ") With Ilya Lyubimov and Ingrid Olerinskaya.
In 2012, the Vlady released his second solo album "Clear!", Which includes 13 tracks, of which 11 are solo. Clips "Let it be useful" were removed on the chitted compositions, "you are in jokes" and "compose dreams." Also this year, the songs of the musicians sounded in the films "Stories", "Jungle" and "Happy New Year, Moms". In 2013, it was a member of the "caste" of the snake, it was able to become the performer of the song "The sky there is we", which later received the status of the official anthem of the Olympic Fire Relay "Sochi 2014". In a duet with a rapper, the singer of the Christmas tree spoke.
In 2014, "Caste" for the first time in the years of the career managed to get into the United States to hold a tour of the largest American cities, and also personally see the places in which their hotly beloved genre was born and formed. Taking this opportunity, rappers shot several clips in America.
The year later, Vlady published his third album - the conceptual plate "non-delicious", consisting of 12 tracks. The first performance of these songs took place in the RED metropolitan club. After that, the shooting of the clips "World Champion", "Change" and "Love this place" began.
In 2017, inspired by an example of the viral composition of the Mushroom Group, the guys from the "Caste" wrote the song "Makarana", and also removed the parody clip on it. A little later, rappers released a clip for a more serious track "They", but also to the new work, the performers approached with a proper fraction of irony.
"Caste" now
Closer to the end of 2017, rappers were pleased with the long-awaited album, the third work in the discography of the group - the "four-headed yelling". The plate came out a multifaceted, part of the songs are perceived as witness, with the caustic taste of satire. However, the performers themselves informed themselves in the interview that it was not necessary to perceive too literally, but also to climb the debtry: the truth is simple and it lies on the surface.
One of the songs "Caste" has already managed to take a video in which, in addition to them, other colleagues on the workshop also lit up. The clip is called "fastenings".
For 2017, rappers managed to light up in the transmission "Evening Urgant", in the show "Where Logic", on the Channel of the Big Russian Boss on YouTube, give an interview with Yuri Dudu, to participate in the annual VKontakte festival and a lot more.
A noticeable work of the group was the "Year in the search" roller, created together with the Russian segment of the Google search engine, dedicated to the most frequent user requests.
One of the major projects of the group - the film 2018 of the release of "PITER by Caste", which entered the "PITER BY" filmalians. In the film, in addition to the participants of the music team, played Angelica Timanin and Anna Udovka, as well as the actors Julia Topolnitskaya, Arthur Smolyaninov, Ksenia Rappoport and Frontman of the Peter Group The Hatters Yuri Muzychenko. The main idea of the film is to tell about the biography of the four participants of the group from an alternative point of view, presenting them with indigenous peters. The premiere of the picture took place on the TNT 4 TV channel.
In March, the musicians presented a video to a new composition "At that end", for filming in which colleagues were invited and Ptahu, Sergey Shnurov, singer Yolk, video blocks Natasha Krasnova and Kyivstoner (former member of the Mushrooms project), as well as TV presenter Diuro and Star "Comedy Claba" Marina Kravets. The participants of the group decided the entire clip to withstand in the humorous vein. For example, at the end of the video, they used frames with superimposed images of the ears and nose of cartoon animals from instagram self-filters.
The video collected more positive feedback than the previous work "Caste" on the song "Stop Game". This clip was removed in the spirit of the criminal chronicle of the 90s, where the frames of violence were periodically replaced by scenes of the game of small children with "adult" weapons and packs of money.
In the summer, a solo "summer concert" of the group, which musicians spent in Museon were held. And earlier, "Caste" pleased fans with a performance at FIFA fans festival in Rostov-on-Don.
