Alexander Stepanov

On the Versus Battle website, Alexander Stepanov, aka ST, is named the brightest and most romantic representative of rap in Russia.

Alexander was born in Moscow in September 1988 in the family of a military sailor. The first years of the biography developed like those of ordinary boys. At school, I wanted to become a musketeer, impressed by the film with the participation of Mikhail Boyarsky, then a teacher of the Russian language, I liked the poetry of Sergei Yesenin. He began to write himself as a teenager, and then decided that it was more interesting to convey poetry through music.

Alexander's grandfather, Igor Mikhailovich Tuzhilkin, who fought on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War, put words into rhyme. Stepanov learned about this when he was collecting information for the MUZ-TV project for Victory Day. ST dedicated the song "Life without War" to all the winners.

Stepanov calls Tupac Shakur and Decl as his guides in the world of rap. At the age of 15, Sasha gathered a group with his classmates and began to record songs.

After leaving school, Alexander entered the Institute of International Relations, and since he had to pay for his studies, he worked part-time, but did not give up music. When the father offered to pay for his education, on condition that the son “stop doing nonsense,” everything became clear for the future rapper. Stepanov left the institute and quit his job.

There are several opinions about the meaning of the stage name ST. According to some sources, these are just the first letters of the surname. Others mention a certain accident in which the musician miraculously survived, and supposedly since then the pseudonym is an abbreviation for the word saint (saint).

The "black boomer" Seryoga had a hand in Alexander's promotion to the musical Olympus. His label KingRing has popularized ST's music through clubs and various festivals. However, the rapper released his first album "One Hundred Out of a Hundred" with the help of the Flatline agency. The first video was shot for the track "BEEF" from this album.

In 2011, Stepanov also left Phlatline, the reasons for the separation were not explained. The last joint work of the managers and the musician is the album "N100". The music for all 17 tracks was written by Igor Pustelnik Nel.

Later ST worked under the wing of Invisible Management, collaborating with Johnnyboy, Sergei Lazarev and independent manager Lyudmila Mironova. During this time, the rapper managed to record the album "Bulletproof" with the participation of Linda and "Semantic Hallucinations".

After the release of the 4th album "Handwriting" Alexander, together with Adidas, decided to found the # superSTIHI project. Beginning poets who do not have the opportunity to publish can send their compositions to the groups on VKontakte and on Instagram. Then the authors are invited to perform at the Joys Bar, where the entrance is open to everyone.

The only condition is that the verses must be their own, and the reading is recorded on video. And everything is free, no restrictions or censorship. If one of the authors manages to publish a book, presentations are also held at the Joys Bar.

For the track "Wings" from this album, performed together with the popular R'n'B-singer Bianca, Alexander shot a video. "Okoloshoubiz" and "Phoenix" were released as separate singles, both songs were accompanied by a video sequence.

In June 2016, the battle between ST and Oksimiron took place. In addition to the heat and tension within the battle itself, which Miron managed to extinguish, the meeting attracted a considerable audience by the fact that the video was not available on Youtube for several months. The blocking, according to unconfirmed information, was allegedly due to an advertisement of an illegal bookmaker shown in the video.

However, the question, apparently, was resolved, since for Versus the recording of the meeting of the two rappers became the most watched - by May 2018, the number of viewers exceeded 21 million.

In 2017, the group "Leningrad" presented the song and video "Ch.P.Kh." performed by Sergei Shnurov, Alexander and Florida Chanturia. The composition is presented as a battle between the leader of the group and the rapper. In addition, other well-known Petersburgers are involved in the filming - Pharaoh, Alexander Nevzorov, Maria Evnevich and Alexander Kerzhakov. Matilda Shnurova also appeared in the frame.

The frontman impressed ST by playing all musical instruments and being very demanding of all participants in the collaboration.

Another fruit of joint efforts, this time with Elena Temnikova, the song "Crazy Russian" sounded in the fantastic blockbuster "Defenders" about people with supernatural abilities.

In 2015, Alexander married a native of Tver, Assol Vasilyeva. The rapper said that he first saw a photo of a beautiful girl in an advertising brochure. It was not difficult to get acquainted - ST was familiar with Assol's sister, Alice.

Vasilyeva did not know who ST was, did not listen to songs and was not very interested in this culture, although there was a relative nearby - hip-hop Dima 5 Plyukh. But the guy won the heart of his beloved with his actions.

The beauty heard many declarations of love and yet remained unapproachable, which conquered Alexander. And Assol liked the musician because his words did not differ from his deeds. Young people see the secret of family happiness in the fact that they want to be together every minute.

During their short life together, Assol and Alexander never rested together, and beautiful photos and posts on Instagram are just the result of work. Vasilieva accompanies her husband on tour as a manager. It is difficult for a rapper to work with his wife. According to ST, the wife is very straightforward, on stage and behind the scenes she addresses him in a strictly working way, and he does not allow himself to respond in kind.

Assol herself is a fairly popular person. In the modeling business, she is valued for her external resemblance to Angelina Jolie. Before meeting Sasha, she participated in a TV show, worked as a presenter, collaborated with the Geometry portal. After moving to Moscow, she met Yulia Kolyadina, a producer of the World Fashion channel, and after Yulia went on maternity leave, she began to lead her projects.

ST and "Russian Jolie" are often shot together for glossy magazines. The owner of high (185 cm) height and fashionable light unshaven looks good not only in rapper "outfit", but also in classic suits.

Basta is the most respected of his colleagues at ST; he also likes the work of Guf, Smoky Mo and the Marselle group. From Western artists, the rapper listens to Nas, Eminem, Jay Z and Pusha T.

Alexander is the author of the song "Little Halves", which is performed by Olga Buzova. According to the musician, this step was pushed by the story of Olya's separation from her husband, football player Dmitry Tarasov. ST considers the TV presenter an interesting person, and first of all, a fragile, vulnerable woman. And the rapper, like a man, was hurt by the inappropriate behavior of yesterday's "friends" Buzova, who pounced on her with condemnation and ridicule.

Further cooperation between Stepanov and Buzova is being discussed, but most likely, ST will not give songs, as it happened with "Little Halves".

At the end of 2017, the rapper released the Q2ZA clothing line, developed with his wife Assol, which he announced at a concert in a Moscow club. ST supported by their performances Alexander Streltsov and the group "Mojito", 5 Plyukh and Pizza, IKA and Dino. With Julianna Karaulova, Alexander sang the song "Sea".

The same evening, the musician announced the opening of his own label Istoria music. The company has taken on the promotion of young followers of rap and rock, but, according to the owner, is not going to be limited in the genre. The rapper Aykyu released an album on the label, a joint with ST called "We Don't See Them" was included in the rotation of MUZ-TV, TNT MUSIC and RU.TV. Videos of another of Alexander's wards - NoFun Band - are uploaded on the Youtube channel in the series format.

In an interview with the TNT channel, the rapper complained about the lack of time and specialists, and therefore is waiting for his team of concert directors, PR managers who are ready to promote the creativity of young people.

In May 2018, ST took part in a collaboration with Leningrad and Glucose. As a result, a cartoon clip for the track "Zhu-zhu" appeared. The video was shot by Ilya Naishuller, creator of False Alarm for the Canadian rapper The Weeknd and the fantastic action movie Hardcore with Kirill Serebrennikov and Danila Kozlovsky.

2008 - "One hundred out of a hundred" 2009 - "Peter-Moscow" 2010 - "Hokku" 2011 - "100%" 2013 - "Bulletproof" 2015 - "Handwriting" 2016 - "# xxxxxxx1"
