David Nuriev

Rapper Ptakha is one of the pioneers of the Russian rap movement, who fell in love with listeners for his ability to find poetry of the highest order in the gray realities of everyday life. Today he not only continues to realize his creative potential, but also participates in the public life of the country.

The musician was born on June 10, 1981 in Baku. His real name is David Nuriev. When the future rapper was 9 years old, his family left their native lands due to the Karabakh conflict and moved to Moscow. His father's nationality could be a threat to David's family. Boris Nuriev is Armenian, and his wife is Azerbaijani.

From the biography of the eminent musician, it is known that Nuriyev showed interest in hip-hop from a young age. The young recitative lover found inspiration for writing lyrics, samples and beats in American films about gangsters.

Few people know that David's first stage name appeared after the release of the film directed by Jeff Pollack "Above the Ring". Noting that Nuriev's taste preferences in clothing and demeanor are similar to the character of rapper Tupac Shakur - Ptashka, the artist's friends awarded him the sonorous nickname Ptah.

Films dominated by street brawls and parties formed David's misconceptions about right and wrong. Nuriev did not appear at home for days, and preferred idle pastime with friends and alcohol to lessons at school.

It is not known how all this would have ended if in 1996 he had not met rappers Burym and Shurup. Love for "street music" was the reason why the guys organized the BJD band. After MC Beast joined the group, like-minded people changed the name of the rap team to Les Miserables. David collaborated with this team for five years.

In 2001, the first album of "Les Miserables" was released - "Archive". Despite the small circulation, the disc made a splash in the circles of hip-hop underground lovers. After the release, Nuriev decided to leave the group. 3 years later, Les Miserables released an album called 13 Warriors. In the chorus of the song "Happiness", Ptah's voice is clearly heard. This is due to the fact that the track was recorded before David left.

The representative of the hip-hop industry has never really talked about his personal life. Although he did not hide the fact that thanks to his athletic figure (David's height is 180 cm, weight - 82 kg) he always aroused interest in the opposite sex.

The master of recitative was officially married in his youth and has a child. The first wife of the performer was Karina. The girl was a non-media person and had nothing to do with rap culture. The young people met at a party after Nuriev's concert.

The couple did not have a candy-bouquet period. They quickly began to live together and after a couple of months decided to have a child. In 1999, David and Karina became the parents of their daughter Nika. In honor of the birth of the baby, the rapper wrote the song "Nika, you are my victory", which he sings to this day at concerts.

After the wedding, a discord began in the couple. According to the singer, the point in their relationship was set after a frank conversation, in which it turned out that the spouses had repeatedly cheated on each other.

The second lover of the rapper was the theater and film actress Maria Kurkova, whom David met on the set of the film "Heat". Because of the series of endless touring tours, the young people practically did not see each other. Masha quickly realized that she and Nuriev had different priorities. They dispersed without scandals and claims.

The third chosen one of the singer was the girl Lana Reutova. She comes from Orenburg, worked as a model. The couple was in no hurry to formalize the relationship, but in the summer of 2019 they visited the registry office. The ceremony took place in an informal setting, after which the newlyweds celebrated their wedding day together. Later, in an interview, Lana shared her plans for a lavish celebration. A real wedding with a lot of guests was planned for 2020.

After leaving Les Miserables, Ptah began recording solo tracks. In 2006, Rezo Gigineishvili invited him to star in the film "Heat". In the film, David played the husband of an ex-girlfriend of one of the main characters and, together with the groups "Center", Vip777 and rapper Timati, wrote soundtracks for the film.

In 2007, Nureyev created an album entitled "The Trail of Emptiness". The track list of the disc includes the songs "Thoughts", "Cat", "Autumn", "Genocide", "They", "What will we have in time", "Legends" and "Not too late". True, this work never hit the shelves. The rapper also participated in the recording of songs by Guf ("Clap-Clap", "Muddy muddies") and "Idefix" ("Buy", "Childhood"). At the same time, the talented musician joined the hip-hop project of Guf, Slim and Principle "Center" (later the group changed its name to Centr).

On October 25, 2007, Ptakha, as a member of the Centr group, released an album called "Swing". The compositions "Heat 77", "Near the Club", "Iron Sky" were especially fond of the audience.

Ptakha challenged Guf to the battle The relationship of two former classmates is of interest to many fans of Russian rap already ...

In 2008, the track "About Love", recorded together with Slim, was released, in which the musicians touched the pride of the performers Drago, Steam and Seryoga. The rappers explained that they were tired of listening to insults and disses towards Basta, Noise and Kasta and that their composition is a kind of response to spiteful critics.

Drago did not remain silent and recorded a response diss "In the Center", in which he touched not only the participants, but also the audience, saying that only people who know a lot about drugs can listen to songs about drugs.

At the end of the year, Centr will release its second album, "Ether is Normal". A year after the release, Guf left the group. In October, Ptakha presented the audience with a solo album "Nothing" and said that without Guf there was no "Center" and Ptah. After that, the rapper took on a second pseudonym Bore and started working on a new project.

In August 2010 the album "Cigarettes" was released. Clips were shot for the songs "Othodos", "On Betrayal", "Cigarettes", "Tangerines" and "Intro". On the front cover of the album was an image of the collapse of the Centr group. Ptah got the same tattoo on his shins.

Despite the fact that Centr no longer existed, video releases of Ptah and other musicians appeared on the band's official website. In November of the same year, the premiere of Ptah's video "Old secrets" took place.

In June 2011, the audience was presented with the song "Nothing to Share", in the recording of which, in addition to representing "TsAO Records" and Moscow Bore and Smoke, rappers 9 Gram, Gipsy King and Bugz, representing Bustazz Records and Yekaterinburg, participated. Later, Gipsy King moved to Moscow and organized, together with David and Tato, the experimental project Three Whales.

At the end of November 2012, David released the cover and tracklist for the new album "Old Secrets", which was released on December 21st. Clips were shot for the songs "Old Secrets", "I Will Not Forget", "Myth", "First Word" and "My Basis". The singer Bianca took part in the recording of the single "Smoke into the Clouds".

In May 2013, a joint work of Shock and Ptah was released - a clip called "For Interest". Then work began on a new album. In September of the same year, David announced on his Twitter account that he was planning to release separately the disc “On the Nizam” and the mini-album “Fitova”. The work "On the Nizam" appeared on the shelves after 7 months, and "Fitovoy" - in 2015.

In 2016, the album "Bodry" was released, the track list of which included 18 fresh compositions. According to the singer, of all the variety of tracks released, the songs "Time", "Former", "Svoboda", "The same" and "Love is closer" (the second name is "Closer to you") are especially dear to him. These compositions appeared on the rapper's VKontakte page.

In April 2017, Ptakha posted a video clip for the song "Freedom 2.017" on the Internet, in which he spoke unflatteringly about the participants in the March protests. A few weeks later, the premiere of the clip of the singer Alisa Vox (song "Baby"), similar in meaning, took place.

Politician Alexei Navalny accused both of the fact that the Kremlin paid them for these tracks. After that, Nuriyev, on his Instagram page, where the rapper regularly uploads photos and video clips from concerts and backstages, published a post refuting the politician's words.

Also this year saw the light of the video for the title track of the upcoming RP "For Peace". At the beginning of 2018, Ptakha took part in a battle against Guf. Fans expected the musicians to finally sort out the relationship that had heated up after the breakup of their group Centr, but the rappers never touched on this during the fight. Nevertheless, in the first 8 hours after the video was posted on the YouTube channel, the number of views reached a million.

In December 2018, rapper Ptakha was invited to the State Duma for a meeting of the youth parliament, where the topic of canceling concerts of a number of performers was discussed: Monetochka, Eljay, Feduk, Husky, IC3PEAK and Friendzona groups. In his speech, the rapper criticized the actions of government officials, calling them guilty of corrupting young people, not musicians.

Urgently! Need a repost !!! Read to the end! #bird It was not a trip to Parliament, for the sake of hype and contacts, and not a trip to ...

According to the artist, it is the laws and the upbringing of parents that must resist such negative phenomena as drugs and debauchery. And rappers are just creative personalities that reflect reality. Banning their performances is a manifestation of censorship that will not solve the problem.

Roma Zhigan supported his colleague. The video of the scandalous performance was later posted on the Web. After a significant meeting, Ptakha entered the permanent council for culture of the youth parliament under the State Duma.

Now the musician continues to participate in the public life of the country. In 2019, he spoke at a roundtable meeting on the topic "The threat of propaganda and distribution of drugs on the Internet: what the darknet threatens us with."

And again, the singer's speech made an ambiguous impression on those present. He urged not to hide information about the consequences of drug use from children. He also said that "people in uniform cover the drug dealers."

In the same year, the premiere of the documentary "BEEF: Russian Hip-Hop" by Roma Zhigan took place. David also took part in the filming. Later, the musician expanded his discography with the Free Base album.

On February 8, 2020, on the TV-3 channel, the next season of the entertainment show "The Last Hero" started, in which the rapper Ptakha became a participant. He was accompanied by Nadezhda Angarskaya, Natalia Bardo, Lukerya Ilyashenko, Evgeny Papunaishvili, Elena Proklova and others.
