Anton Basaev

Aggressive style, a special vision of music as an art, originality - these are the qualities of Tony Routh that attracted the attention of rap fans. The musician, who became famous for his image of an evil clown, recently conquered the big stage, but has already managed to firmly settle on it.

Concerts with heavy, psychedelic compositions take place even in the cultural capital of Russia - St. Petersburg. In the discography of a representative of evil rap, one cannot find songs about romantic love, however, despite the aggression, many consider them spiritual, and most importantly, vital.

Tony Rout is the pseudonym of Anton Basayev (the media have not decided on the name of the musician, in some sources he appears as Moskalenko). The young man was born in St. Petersburg in 1990. My father left his family during the difficult years of perestroika. A mother, a kindergarten teacher, had to lift her two sons on her own.

There was barely enough money to pay utility bills, food and clothing. Anton did not differ in his thirst for knowledge, he somehow graduated from school, entered college, which, however, did not master - the young man was expelled for poor academic performance. He did not give up and went to university, but another attempt to get an education again turned out to be a failure, the reason for expulsion this time was bad behavior.

Anton became interested in music at an early age, while still in elementary school he became interested in the work of rock bands "King and Jester", "Alice", "Gaza Strip". A little later, musical preferences finally and irrevocably shifted towards rap - there was an acquaintance with the compositions of Tupac Shakur. Together with his nephew, the boy even tried unsuccessfully to collect a complete discography of the idol.

At the age of 10, Anton took the first steps towards popularity: he recorded his own compositions on an old tape recorder, which he posted on forums under the pseudonym Tony Routh. Despite the poor quality, rap fans liked the songs with an individual style. So the creative biography of the rapper officially started. Later, the young man tried on the role of a battle-MC and plunged headlong into Internet battles.

It was participation in the "InDaBattle II" competition, where they test their ability to mix and rhyme on a given topic, that gave Raut the first large crowd of fans. Here Tony met Harry Ax, the aspiring musician later became his best friend and co-author of the "Berlin Records" group. Even at the dawn of the formation of the creative team, Anton chose the stage image of an evil clown with a difficult fate, who hides his disfigured face behind makeup.

In 2009, Tony and Harry performed in clubs, which was eloquently shown by photos on social networks, which the guys generously shared. But already at this time, the young musician was fired up with the idea to create the first solo release in the horrorcore style, a direction of rap that is poorly developed in Russia. A year later, the "Antape" mixtape was released, which is a selection of dark tracks from lyric content to murder scenes.

The work was well received in rapper circles, from the compositions presented in it, the songs “The circus left, the clowns stayed” and “Sweet dreams” ascended to the top of popularity. Another breakthrough in creativity and the replenishment of the army of fans awaited with the release of high-quality videos on the tracks "Grim" and "Icarus".

Tony's image suddenly changes by 2012. The new style, in which the musician appears in videos and songs, delights the audience - Rauth's blue eyes become sinister thanks to lenses, and make-up from horror films is applied to his face.

A new wave of listeners swept in 2013 after the release of "Routville" - Tony's debut album. This is the name of a ghost town from which there is no turning back. At the same time Raut and Harry took care of the Booking Machine concert agency, and the musicians who had already gained experience went on a tour of Russia.

In 2014, the creative piggy bank of friends is replenished with a new album "The Country of Wasps", and fans of evil rap sing their favorite song "A man said, a man did." 2015 will be remembered for the release of the video, which later became a cult, for the song "On the Way to Valhalla" and endless tours - Anton held more than 50 concerts. A year later, the track "Good Clown, Dead Clown" from the second studio album "SUSPENSE" by Raut was already on everyone's lips.

Collaborations with other musicians became an interesting experience for Tony. With Franky Freak he recorded the song "South Trap", then in tandem with Fadi Azima, better known under the pseudonym Talibal, he created the popular compositions "I don't care" and "Bad pazific". In 2014, Tony and Ivan Reis delight fans of the Vampire Ball trash video, filmed in the form of a parody of chatter tendencies.

Contrary to legends in fan circles, Tony is not a fan of parties, rarely in clubs and at night parties. In life, Anton is a simple and pleasant guy who loves to read books, including classical works. He is fond of sports, or rather, maintains the physical form gained in street fights in his youth. It has long been rumored that the rapper is dating a girl, but no one knows exactly her name. The musician himself, even in social networks, does not advertise his personal life.

Rout continues to actively write songs and music, as well as collaborate with other musicians. At the beginning of 2017, together with the group "2rbina 2rista" presented a bright video "Matsai". In the spring, the audience met the rapper in the company of Ivan Reis, at one of the concerts the guys presented a joint work called "Dance on the bones".

Autumn for Anton turned out to be hot: together with Harry Ax, they will go to conquer Russia and the capital of Belarus. The fans of 21 cities will see the program of the new tour. The final chord in "CosmoTour", as the musicians call the upcoming tour, will be performances in St. Petersburg and Moscow on December 14 and 15. And now, on the eve of the trip, they hold meetings and autograph sessions with fans.
