Andrey Zamay

If earlier Russian rap was a bar lower than foreign, and some considered “domestic recitatives” something shameful, now Russian performers are approaching Eminem, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne and other artists with small steps.

In 2015, the battle of Oksimiron and Jonboy took place, which scored several million views on YouTube video hosting. This event pushed the Russian hip-hop scene to a new level: young performers do not hesitate to declare themselves, and the “oldies” have begun to delight fans with new tracks more actively.

Among the most famous performers are Oksimiron, Purulent, Yaniks, Pharaoh, Basta and others. But one cannot fail to mention Zamai, who contributed to the culture of antihype. The man is known to fans thanks to such tracks as "Rock", "Name" and "Gosha Rubchinsky".

Andrey Zamay (real name of the artist) was born in the sunny city of Bishkek. This event happened on November 9, 1986.

Alas, there are gaps in the musician's biography, but it is known that he received a higher education. True, not musical, but technical: Andrei graduated from the Kyrgyz National University, where he studied at the Faculty of Physics. Zamai's diploma includes the specialty “engineer of microelectronics”.

In 2010, the young man went to conquer the cultural capital of Russia - St. Petersburg. To make money, Zamai got a job as a courier.

Over time, the future rapper changed many jobs. Zamai managed to try himself as a photographer, seller and even a waiter. If the visitors of the restaurant would know that coffee is brought to them by a man whose name will soon be heard by every fan of rap culture.

Andrey Zamay got used to music since adolescence. In 2001, a 15-year-old boy got acquainted with the work of foreign performers such as Jay Z and Nas: the guy learned the tracks from the Blueprint and Stillmatic albums almost by heart. Further in Andrey's head there was no longer any doubt that he liked rap not only to listen, but also to read.

From that moment on, Zamai began to develop as a musician: the young man came up with tracks and showed them to his comrades. It is noteworthy that Andrey performed his first recitatives under the nickname Strike. The guy often experimented and mixed different genres, but over the years he found his own unique style.

Since 2003, Andrei has become a full-fledged participant in the Versus Battle, but these competitive events did not become a starting ticket for him on the big stage. But on the other hand, the young man showed himself, and also learned to be confident in front of his rap opponents, which is very useful for representatives of hip-hop culture.

Andrei Zamai's debut track was a diss on a battle participant: it was posted on the hip-hop.ru music portal.

In 2009, Strike released his debut mixtape, On the Boys' Benches, which included 18 tracks. It is noteworthy that Andrei shot a video clip for one of them. Despite the efforts of the young man, in those days he could only dream of popularity and fame.

In 2013, the performer of the songs confidently declared himself, starting an active activity in the field of rap culture. The musician released an EP called “Zamay” and also began participating in famous rap venues such as “SlovoSPB” and “Versus”. However, at that time, the young man did not acquire a crowd of fans.

The turning point in Zamai's life happened after he met the Glory of the KPSS, who is known to the general public under the pseudonym Purulent. The young people met while Zamai was judging online competitions. It is worth noting that it was Slava Karelin who came up with the creative pseudonym Khan Zamai for his friend, under which Andrei began to release his tracks.

Thus, Zamay began work in tandem with Purulent, who enjoyed authority among other participants in the sites. Young people actively recorded tracks, shot video clips and did not forget to show themselves in battles. The guys worked like “Stakhanovites”: sometimes hip-hoppers released 10 rap texts a week.

Therefore, it is not surprising that already in 2015 Zamay delighted the listeners with several albums at once: “#Nemimohaypa” (collaboration with Slava KPSS), “Inner Bishkek” and “Russian Album”.

Also since 2015, Zamay has been a member of a creative association called antihype, the essence of which is to protest against everything mainstream, fashionable and popular. In addition to Andrei, this group includes SD, Booker and other performers.

In the same year, antihyp participants released a track called "Gosha Rubchinsky", which is a remix of the song of the same name from the singer Monetochka. After this text, the name of Zamai became known to the general public, and later the guys released a video clip for this song, thereby only adding an army of fans.

In 2016, recitative lovers saw a joint video of Karelin and Zamai for the song Grime Hate, which in a short time gained about 500 thousand views on YouTube. Further, Khan Zamai's piggy bank is replenished with the Hype Train album, where the musician fits with eminent rappers, including Monetochka, LSP, Pasha Technik and other stars of the Russian rap scene.

On August 13, 2017, a battle took place between Oksimiron and Slava KPSS, which went down in the history of Russian rap. The creative conflict of young people was viewed by 9.1 million people per day.

Since Purulent is Zamai's friend, Andrei also got attention from the audience. Therefore, some users believe that Andrei cannot exist on stage without the support of his friend. However, the rapper is distinctive and has his own target audience of listeners. In addition, Zamay took part in Versus 4 times.

Zamay is not used to talking about his personal life, so whether the rapper has a girlfriend or a wife is unknown. But Andrei himself admitted to journalists that his views differ from the generally accepted ones. The man said that he would not start a family until he was firmly convinced of this decision.

It is worth noting that from time to time, Zamai's work is criticized: some note the “outdated reading” and primitive lyrics. But the rapper continues to do what he likes, without changing his own concepts and views. Andrey does not divide the world into good and evil, because, in his opinion, there are no fundamental concepts in life.

Also, the rapper does not maintain an account on the Instagram social network, where one could find out the latest news.

In 2017, Zamai's album “From Castle to Castle” was released, and in 2018, the hip-hopper shot a video clip for the song “Name”.

At the moment, a man with a height of 184 cm and weighing 80 kg does not stop there and continues to work on new tracks and touring with concerts.

2009 - "On the collapse of an empire" 2010 - "MYRAPHOLYBIBLE" 2015 - "Russian Album" 2017 - "FROM CASTLE TO CASTLE"
