The first one believed that the group was contrary to the Great Power, exposing the worst on display, which is in Russia, the second seen in the work of the collective Satira in its pure form.
The participants in the group themselves themselves alleviated: Little Big is a musical reflection of society. In his songs, the guys frankly ridicule the national stereotypes of the behavior and life of the Russian man.
According to Ilyich's stories, the scandalous famous team could not be at all, if in July 2013 they were not called to warm up to the famous South African Die Antwoord group.

"Make a rave is the only meaning. When you do something for money, everything turns into an incredible g ***. There will be money - well. On the clip or concert, money can always be found, and super-profile is not so important. "In April 2017, Ilya with the comrades in the social network "VKontakte" presented a new show "Klikklak in prison".
