Alexey Kosov

More than 12 years have passed since the release of Assai's first solo album "Other Shores". Now he has firmly taken his place in the niche of hip-hop artists. His fans say about the artist's work as follows: 

Of course, Assai is the singer's creative pseudonym, and his real name is Aleksey Valerievich Kosov. He is a native of Leningrad, was born on October 12, 1983. The boy studied in an ordinary St. Petersburg school. Alexey carefully hides the facts about his childhood and family, but some sources indicate information that he has a younger sister, and his parents divorced when the boy was in school.

The transitional age was difficult for Alexei. He tried alcohol early and did not give up the use of illegal drugs. But then the young man came to his senses and embarked on a new path - musical.

At the beginning of his career, Alexei, who called himself "Gryazny", performed in groups. The first group that he became a member of was called "Transitional Age". His colleagues were rappers Kripple and Stroch. Later, the rhyme master Alf joined the team, and the guys together formed the group "UmBriaco". By that time, Aleksey Kosov had already become known as "Assai".

The band released the tracks "Out of focus" in 2002 and "Give me a reason" in 2003. Then they started talking about in the hip-hop community, and the performers began to gain popularity. After Assai moved to another rap group from St. Petersburg - "Krec". He took part in the recording of the debut album of the group "Kara-Te" and the second collection entitled "No magic". Assai's voice and performance style become recognizable fans. He is listened to not only in Russia, but in the countries of the former CIS.

A year after the release of the next album of the group, Assai released his debut solo album "Other Shores". The collection of tracks was released in 2005, but judging by the comments to the compositions on video resources, fans are still touched by the deep meaning of the lyrics. The songs “We Live Further”, “Southern Dreams”, “Muse”, “Confession” and the eponymous “Other Shores” became especially popular.

The personal song "Father" became special for the performer, from the text of which it becomes clear that the relationship with the parent was very difficult. This is evidenced by the lines:

In the next verse, the musician wrote the following words:

The composition "Confession" from the solo album is also full of personal meaning. There are lines like this:

Assai writes about his own experiences:

After releasing his own album, Assai continues to be part of the Krec collective. Together, the musicians are releasing the third collection "On the River". A track from this album, performed by Assai in collaboration with Fuse, becomes the soundtrack for the film "Peter FM".

At the same time, as the performer himself noted, the aura and mood of the band's album did not coincide slightly with his personal creative mood. By 2008, Assai is increasingly engaged in solo work. He gathers like-minded musicians and with their help he releases his second solo album "Fatalist". It includes 15 tracks, including "Polkan", "Monami", "Forever", "Indifference", "To the point" and other compositions.

In support of the collection, Assai and his friends flies to Vladivostok, the guys jointly buy three cars and arrange a rally to St. Petersburg, stopping in oncoming cities and speaking to the delight of fans. A year after the release of the second solo album, in 2009, Assai leaves the group "Krec".

He named the group he collected personally "Assai Music Band". In 2010, the team released the first EP (mini demo album) "Lift". With the songs included in the collection, the music band held 50 concerts in more than three months in the cities of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. After Assai, on his official website, he announced the disbandment of this line-up of the group.

In 2013, the musician released the album "Touch for the Dead". Of the 10 compositions, the listeners' favorite were "Flower", "Teacher", "River" and "Last Time".

After Assai, he performed with other musicians at more than 200 concerts and released another personal album "Om". Further, in collaboration with producer Mikhail Tebenkov, the musician tries himself in an alternative direction of synthetic trip-hop - a kind of mixture of hip-hop, jazz, rock and soul. The style is characterized by a slow tempo and clear bass lines.

After the group "stormy". First, Assai, under the chimes of the upcoming 2014, announces the closure of the group, and after 1.5 years, in May 2015, a statement appears that the musicians are ready to continue working together. At the end of 2015, Assai presents a new track called "Looking for You" to the audience.

In 2016 Assai writes the song "Humiliate and Love". The text is about finding yourself, about life, about pain, but there were lines about love:

In 2017, the musician, in collaboration with his friend and director, as well as director of photography by profession Roman Berezin, releases the works "Now you see" and "Now you hear".

Recently, the rapper's rider appeared on the performer's website to the surprise of fans - a requirement for organizing concerts. In addition to technical information on musical equipment, the document also included requirements for the menu, which included a kilogram of persimmons, a plate with salad leaves, jacket potatoes, salt and three types of tea.

In 2017, Assai turned 34 years old, but his personal life is under a thick veil of secrecy. In interviews, he never talks about his family. And when he is asked questions about his wife and child, he abruptly translates the topic and talks about creativity and songs. The lack of personal photos on his pages on social networks, such as Instagram and VKontakte, also speaks of the artist's closeness.

At the concerts in 2017, the singer said that he was closing his activities as "Assai" and now presents the listeners with a new project "Alexey Kosov" - this is the real name of the musician. The singer is constantly in search of his own "I", and now he sees himself as such. In support of this, the VKontakte group also ceased to operate. The following message was addressed to fans: 

Now Alexei is blogging on Twitter. According to it, as well as the title of the solo album "Om", it is clear that the musician plunged headlong into the practice of yoga. The dreadlocks that were once up to the shoulders have already gone off his head, but tattoos still remain on his body, which occupy the entire surface of the right arm and left leg.

The singer himself admits in an interview that he is often tormented by mental anguish and memories of the past. When asked who he would like to be in his next life, the author of some psychedelic texts replied: 

2016 - "To humiliate and love" 2015 - "I'm coming after you" ("Live") 2015 - "Elevator" ("Live") 2015 - "Dark water" ("Virginity") 2013 - "River" ("To touch the dead ") 2011 -" Dacha "(" Om ") 2011 -" So much life "(" Om ") 2008 -" Ashes "(" Fatalist ") 2008 -" Voice "(" Fatalist ") 2005 -" Southern Dreams "( "Other Shores") 2005 - "Black Wind" ("Other Shores") 2005 - "Confession" ("Other Shores")
