In recent years, rap in Russia has developed to incredible proportions. There are many performers who work in different directions. Russian rappers write texts for every taste and have many fans. Their compositions are liked by different groups of people, but the masters of Russian rap will not leave anyone indifferent.

People's rating

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

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

There are many talented performers on the domestic stage who attract people with their texts. Many Russian rappers have achieved popularity thanks to the Internet, but there are other ratings.

The most outstanding rappers according to music critics

In 2016, many benchmarks received good marks from experts. The top three looks like this:

1. Oxxxymiron – this Oxford-educated rapper has only two albums and countless tracks to his name so far, which allowed him to become the “King of Rap 2016”. In addition, he acts as the prototype for the protagonist of the Londongrad series, which is partly biographical.
2. Slim was liked by critics for the depth of the lyrics and diligence. He releases quality albums almost every year.
3. Bird (Nerd) has been gaining experience in various bands for a long time, now he experiments a lot and releases only high-quality material.

These rappers (Russian) have earned high marks not only from critics, but also from listeners. They actively tour and regularly get into the rotation of music channels.

You can't say that the last list contains only newcomers. Their ratings are simply not as high as those listed above.

• Max Korzh - becamethe opening of the Russian rap scene. His lyrics are mostly about relationships.
• KReeD released his first album "The Bachelor" in 2015. Previously, his first video scored 4 million views, thanks to which the employees of the Black Star label drew attention to it.
