The origins of the new sound in Russian rap originate from the youth association Young Russia. Many interesting rappers came out of there, including Pharaoh. Today he has his own label called Dead Dynasty. The real full name of the performer is Golubev Gleb Gennadievich. Date of birth - January 30, 1996.

Creative path

Gleb started making music back in 2012. In 2013 he released his first track called Cadillac, which was recorded at a friends studio. This was followed by the releases of Wadget, Phlora, Dolor (all three were released in 2014-2015). Then followed a lot of work with rappers Boulevard Depo, i61 and other representatives of the new style. Between 2016 and 2018, Pink Phloyd was the most anticipated release due to the fact that there was no one on it except Pharaoh himself.

Throughout his career, the musician has so far released 6 mixtapes and 4 mini-albums. He took part in 19 videos, the most popular of which was "5 minutes ago", viewed on YouTube at the moment 53 million times. But also one of the most discussed of his works are clipsBlack Siemens and Champagne Squirt. A provocative statement and a fundamentally different sound made the audience both delight and hate.

Style

Hip-hop is known to be a vast area of music with many genres, sub-genres and new offshoots. Pharaoh occupied his niche in such new trends as cloud rap and trap. In his video works, either someone dies, or the rapper with his team of like-minded people, on the contrary, shows how well and dearly he lives. The uniqueness of the performance lies in the appearance and behavior, everything is perfected in his style: from clothes to elementary movements in the frame and intonation of the voice. That is why sometimes even the most distant from rap people speak very highly of the musician, even talking less about the sound than about other details.

"Pharaoh is a rapper who died at 18" is fake

On June 20, 2017, an article appeared in the unofficial community of the VKontakte social network that the rapper had died of a drug overdose. The stuffing was immediately replicated by numerous news sources who wanted to raise their ratings. Of course, the deceased Pharaoh would greatly please a huge number of haters of the rapper's work, but not a single word was said on the official page of the artist that he was at least sick with something, let alone dead.

This rumor didn't spread much among the target audience, and even more so among the general public. It's funny that after some time on July 8, 2017, Pink Phloyd release comes out, where two weeksago, the deceased Pharaoh literally shuts up the mouths of all ill-wishers and gossips.
