In 2000, two classmates Anar Zeynalov (Ves) and Timur Odilbekov (Gross) organized the Caspian Cargo group, which later became very popular. The guys have been friends since school, and at the time the team was created, each of them was 16 years old. The city of Baku, where the rappers were born, is located on the shores of the Caspian Sea - hence the name of the group. The guys began to study music as early as adolescence, but at the same time Ves at the time of the founding of the group was already a performing artist, albeit at a provincial level. The guys read the first track to the beat of the lamp slaves. For a long time, the guys treated rap as a hobby. At 18, Ves decided it was time to declare himself and became interested in solo performance. He posted his notes on YouTube. The songs of the Caspian cargo describe the dashing nineties, and resemble chanson. This is why rap fans are skeptical of the band. The guys sing about prison for a reason. In my time Gross served time in a colony for minors due to problems with soft drugs. 
Little is known about the personal life of the artists. They are both married, Gross has two children. At the age of 20, the guys released a full-length debut album Ringtones for the Zone. Surprisingly, the recording was carried out in Anar's apartment. The beats for all the tracks were done by Ves. Their neighbors contributed to the creativity of the Caspian cargo.
After the completion of the recording, we thought for a long time which of the Russian rappers to invite to the guest verse in the album. As a result, Cat Balu, Slovetsky, Raskolnikov, Brother Brother appeared on the disc. At first, few noticed KG's album, but then Murovei, Jamal from TGK and even Guf himself were interested in the work. After the fit of the Caspian Cargo with Guf, real popularity came to the guys from Baku. The clips "18+" and "Tabor goes to the sky" threw their share of the hype.
Of course, the guys from the Caspian Cargo were the breakthrough of 2015. But since 2016, they began to gradually forget about the guys. The guys released 2 more albums in 2016 and 2017. And at the end of 2017, they announced the breakup of the group.
Together with these artists, they look through biographies:
To hell with the review, I propose an experiment: turn on your girlfriend a song from the debut album of Caspian Cargo, followed by "Mademoiselle" from the just released "Soundtrack to the Never the filmed". Ask which group she liked best. Explain that they were recorded by the same people. Describe the reaction in the comments below.
For 5 years of its extremely prolific existence, the duet from Baku has turned into one of the most popular groups genre. Witty writers with a recognizable style, who were checked out first by serious men in serious tinted cars, and then by their companions. It seemed that with each release the circle of listeners was expanding, but after two solo works, which engendered fears in the hearts of fans about a possible split within the band, the information followed that the new disc for Caspian Cargo would be a farewell one. As a result, it saved the artists from having to live up to the expectations of their fanbase and simply gave carte blanche to experiment. As we have already seen, the old listener of the duet did not understand and did not accept them.
Gross Produced most of the material, of course, was delayed: mumbaton, new R&B, minimal trap, old school bumbap - everything is there. To justify the genre spread, a concept was invented, supposedly this album is music to a nonexistent crime drama... Well, just like in Scorsese, when one of the heroes comes to his former companions and offers to do one more, the last little business. There is also something like a script, where it is written which song corresponds to which episode ("childhood of heroes", "prison. Rethinking", etc.). You may not even guess about such a concept, do not read an interview or a press release, but the plot, albeit in a very general outline, emerges.
The sound was renewed, and the hero of the Caspian Cargo remained the same: not the most law-abiding resident of the latitudes, once described by the group as "Ognestrelsky district, Shmalyaevo village". The duo wrote dozens of songs about the world of such people who "reap their crops by threatening", about their fears and hopes - and still manages to find new approaches, new solutions, new dramas. I just thought that part of the unreasonable hat to the work of the Caspian Cargo always grew out of the fact that their hero was not fashionable at all, but rather descended from the three-penny NTV crime series. Part of Gross's verse from the song "Heroes of Our Time" seems to be a metaphor, it is playing around. With the current sound, this is no longer so striking.
The masterpiece punchlines have not gone anywhere either, this fountain is still inexhaustible. If you choose your favorite, then Vesba has it "With a bogeyman behind his back, like a Pugachev veneer / Unprofessional, Vasya, but it seems like a show succeeded," but for Gross: "We don't hang out, we hang by a thread, like churchkhela / My house between hell and heaven, I call it church-hella. " The latter is my favorite in the Line of the Year nomination.
In the group's repertoire, touching, tear-breaking things like "Doedesh-write", "City of Brides" or "Childhood" have always stood apart. Now "Warm" is added to them, the first verse of which is a real movie that conveys smells and semitones, and the verse of Wesba is a witty add-on that closes the topic. This song shows better than others that they can still sound great together, but as the release progresses, the thought does not let go of the idea that as musicians they are already interested in completely different things. Ves is organic in the role of a thorny element that does not climb into the pocket of a harsh word, while Gross is, on the contrary, a romantic who knows how and strives to evoke sympathy and understanding in the listener.
Caspian Cargo is now a duet of people looking in different directions.
Therefore, I am even in a sense glad that the group I respect is leaving. They love to tell stories, and in stories, a beautiful ending is extremely important, with which rap groups do not indulge us, in the end of years, as a rule, they turn into parodies of themselves or, even worse, rivals on Versus, casting a shadow on their own achievements and a bright memory.
They don't even stutter about solo projects Brutto and Ves, but who would believe that artists of their caliber and creative form can just leave like that? And there, what the hell is not joking, maybe a reunion will happen. I'm sure even haters would like it. You know how it happens - well, just like Scorsese's. When one of the heroes comes to the former companion and offers to do one more, the last little business.
The Caspian Cargo group is a rap duo from Azerbaijan, created in 2000. For a long time, the guys did music for themselves, wrote songs "on the table". Therefore, the guys released their first album only in 2013, but they managed to immediately win the hearts of Russian listeners. The themes and issues that the band members raised in the lyrics were able to really touch the younger generation.
The main listener of the "Caspian Cargo" was young people who have already left the school walls, but have not yet found themselves in adult life... The name "Caspian Cargo" is not accidental, because the guys come from Baku. And the city is located on the Caspian Sea.
Compound
The composition of the collective is small - it is a duet, which included Timur Odilbekov (Gross) and Anar Zeynalov (Ves). They went to the same school, were friends from the second grade. Anar became interested in hip-hop in his youth. Not only did he listen to this music all the time, but soon the guy began to try to read the texts himself. Anar recorded his work on video and uploaded it to YouTube.
Timur started musical career with creating beats for Anar's lyrics. And later, when the guys realized that they had a good tandem, they decided to create a group called "Caspian Cargo". They had to learn everything on their own, this Musical direction underdeveloped in Azerbaijan. The first tracks were recorded at home. But, as it turned out, the guys had a bright hip-hop future.
Since 2015, the talented beatmaker Lesha Prio has worked with the guys on the songs - former member Chelyabinsk rap group "OU74".
Music
In 2013, the group released their first album, choosing an unusual name for a rap record - "Ringtones for the Zone". The team immediately got into the top of discussions: some were delighted, others were in a hurry to criticize them. But, in any case, a certain imprint of the past, the harsh 90s, is noticeable in the album.
The guys do not spread about their personal lives, but there is information on the Web that both Gross and Ves were involved in their youth, and Timur even served time in a juvenile colony. But, it is quite possible that this is just the speculation of the fans, because the "prison" theme is often raised in the lyrics of the group. V the official public "VKontakte" they answered unequivocally that "they were not in jail."
By a lucky coincidence, the guys were noticed at that time by the already famous rapper. He immediately liked the group's album, and the musician invited the guys to Moscow. They recorded a song together and shot the video "Everything for $ 1".
By the way, the guys immediately made it clear to the listener that they were planning to make high-quality and deep music. In the track "All for 1 Dollar" they used excerpts from the novel "The First Circle", thereby motivating listeners to join the classical literature. Perhaps someone will become curious and read a book or watch the series of the same name.
After the success of the collaboration with Guf, the popularity and recognition of the group increased significantly. In 2013 and 2014, the group released four mini-albums under the same name - "Trinity". In 2014, the album "Jackets" was released, it included such songs as "You will reach - write", "Stricter mode" and others.
2015 was a peak year for Caspian Cargo. This year the guys are recording a mini-album "Bad Deed No." and a full-length disc "Side A / Side B". It included many duets - Zmey, Slim, Rigos and BrickBazuka participated in the recording of the album. Perhaps the most popular composition on the disc was the song “I know everything myself”, popularly called “You don’t heal me”.
In 2015, this album became the best-selling album in Russia on iTunes. Music critics and the audience greeted the album positively, it began to occupy leading places in the ratings.
“Eyes, Her Eyes”, “My Girl”, “This Life”, “Former” - the fans knew the lyrics by heart, sorted them out by quotes, filling statuses on social networks with phrases from songs. The guys record joint tracks with popular rappers... So they released the track "Naked High", with - "I love you", with - the song "On Fire", better known to the listener under the title "Mom, don't wait, I'll be back late."
The next two albums "The Gross" and "The Ves" are solo projects musicians. And even then the fans of the group notice how different the interests of the guys are. Gross with his creativity seeks to evoke romantic feelings and understanding in the listener. And Ves supports the role of a prickly and harsh performer. The track "Guantanamera" is gaining great popularity in the album Gross, and "Afghanistan" at Ves. Despite everything, the solo albums turned out to be of high quality, but in the end, the fans still split into two camps.
The album "The Soundtrack to the Still Unreleased Film" was released on September 11, 2017. It is made as if these are songs that were actually written for a film, most likely for a film about the life of the band members. The album traces a peculiar scenario. The guys announced that this is their last album. They put a lot of effort and work into it so that they last work was on the level and was not ashamed to leave. Fortunately for the fans of the band, the guys disagree on a friendly note, this decision was made together.
"Caspian cargo" now
In the fall of 2017, the members of the group announced that the "Caspian Cargo" was going on a farewell tour, after which it would cease to exist. True, the tour is scheduled until May 2018, and the fans refuse to believe in the collapse of the collective. The guys decided to travel all over Russia, up to Vladivostok. They also plan to visit Minsk and Tel Aviv. But the guys were banned from entering Ukraine for 3 years, explaining that they performed on the territory of Crimea.
But Gross in his interview to the site "The Flow" shared his opinion on this matter. He adequately looks at life and understands that the peak of the group was in 2015. He does not want to become "funny trash" and wants to leave beautifully. According to Brutto, everything in life changes, not murderers, but hackers sit in prisons, the time of the series "" is passing.
The criminal wave is dying, and he cannot write anything else, so the departure of “Caspian Cargo” from the stage is the right decision. Gross said that he has no plans to quit music, but that he is unlikely to write and rap, he plans to create music and produce.
Also in the fall, the collective shot a video for the song "Adik Original", the video is sustained in the familiar aesthetics - criminal showdowns, stabbing and old BMWs.

Caspian Cargo is by far the most successful rap duet on Russian scene, however, the members of the group are from sunny Azerbaijan, and by nationality are representatives of the indigenous majority of this country. Their names and surnames clearly indicate that they are Azerbaijanis, however, this in no way prevents them from understanding the Russian (Russian-speaking) viewer and finding full contact with him.
Biography of Anar Zeynalov (Ves) - a member of the Caspian cargo group
Anar Zeynalov, stage name Ves, was born in the most beautiful Baku on October 5, 1983, when the ball ruled in the city Golden autumn... Perhaps the boy watched the changing beauty ancient city, perhaps, like all the boys did not pay attention to artistic beauties... But, undoubtedly, love for art, even youth, underground, lived in it.Otherwise, why would he get carried away with hip-hop and not just swinging his favorite records and videos, namely own performance... First for myself and friends, gradually expanding the audience. He posted some of his videos on YouTube, and now numerous fans have a unique opportunity to evaluate their idol in terms of "before" and "after".
Biography of Timur Odilbekov (Gross) - a member of the Caspian Cargo group
Real fame found its hero when he entered the stage as a duet in the company with Timur Odilbekov, now known as Brutto. The place of birth of Timur was the same sunny Baku, freely spread out on the shores of the legendary Caspian Sea. Only he was born on May 19, 1984, six months younger than his "brother" in the group.Finding out which place is small homeland of these young, but early performers, the name of the group becomes clear and the origin of their stage names (the hand does not rise to write, nicknames, nicknames and the like) is now quite understandable.
Career of the Caspian cargo group
The musical road is so young talents not much different from the ascent to the heights of hip-hop parades of their so-called colleagues in the shop. Joint creative searches began in the 2000s, the musicians themselves now mark them as early and unprofessional. There was no trace of a rapper school in Baku, so there was no one to learn from. The non-professional studio became the birthplace of the first tracks. But even such recordings, made, in general, in an amateur way, could not go unnoticed by the recognized leaders of rap music. And the first one who drew attention to the “newcomers” was Guf, who offered to perform a song together and shoot a video. Fresh voices, charismatic guys who have their own principles - these are the heroes of the clip Ves and Brutto. Someone immediately lifted the "Caspian Cargo" duet on the banners Russian rap, someone began to resent and criticize the guys in all posts and comments. Undoubtedly, the music and lyrics touched a heart, the guys spoke to young people in their language, touched their problems and topics, tried to look for answers to the same questions that everyone who has said goodbye to childhood is looking for, but has not yet found refuge in the adult world.In addition, the first clip, filmed in the company with Guf, made it clear that the guys were not from the street and not from the gateway. They have in their arsenal heavy artillery in the form of a Russian classical literature... The track "All for One Dollar" uses monologues and phrases from the novel by Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the great Russian dissident who received Nobel prize... The question remains open whether the guys read the novel, or carefully watched the eponymous series "The First Circle", and it doesn't matter. Another thing is important, it is the favorite group that can push fans to internal development, reading (viewing) the best examples of world literature (culture). After the first joint song (which current rappers call a fit), there are the following ones, where the Baku guys are accompanied by mega-popular hip-hop performers in Russia, including Slim, Tipsy Tip, Khatyn and others.
The guys who are so sincerely disclosed in their lyrics and performance are actually masculinely restrained and in no hurry to tell everyone and everyone about their life and personal problems... There is very little information about them both in the press and on the endless expanses of the Internet, it is even more difficult to find out which of what has been written is true, which is the fiction of the heroes, which is thought out by devoted fans. So, based on their texts, imbued with thug romance, many believe that the guys, at least one of them, Gross, had problems with the law. Some Internet sources report that, as a minor, he served time at one time. Currently Timur - wonderful husband and the father of two children, he would hardly want the heirs to know about their father's not very pleasant past. Ves, according to the same authors, was not noticed in anything so reprehensible, although his texts are on the verge of legality and crime. There are no tattoos that could tell about the past life of the guys.
Life on the edge, reflected in the lyrics, is just one of the problems that guys raise in their work. They are not young boys, not teenagers. These are adults, already formed characters, who have every right to express their thoughts about global issues that each one encounters individually, perhaps suggesting a way out.
From the latest achievements - the track "Silence", a joint project, which was attended by the collective "Caspian Cargo" and Liman, a rap artist from Yekaterinburg. The rapper on his page in social network thanked everyone who took part in the recording, of course, that the first words of gratitude were received by Gross and Ves. Their work, namely the composition "Get it - Write", was presented on one of the Internet portals in the top twenty hip-hop tracks of 2014; in the comments, listeners rated it as "the most severe male song." This same hit is seen on list 50 best songs of the year. In one of the interviews dedicated to the main results of the past 2014, the guys answered many questions and showed remarkable knowledge of various areas of politics, economics and cultural life not only Russia, but the entire planet. The most interesting and touching were the answers to the question about the act of the year. Ves philosophically answered that the main thing for him was to remain human. For Gross, the most difficult thing was to congratulate his soul mate on the next anniversary of their relationship. And he decided to do it publicly, from the stage, during one of the performances. He admitted that he was very worried, which is why he was confused in words, and gently noted that his beloved did not expect such an act from him, and therefore was very embarrassed. 
Creative plans of the Caspian cargo group
Currently, the group "Caspian Cargo" is preparing a gift for fans of their talent, just about to appear new album"SideA / sideB", the editing is done by Gleb Bolelov, already tested in musical battles. Fans are hoping that the new material recorded will be as good as the previous albums. Interestingly, there are no people recklessly in love with their work, everyone finds something of their own, this or that composition, album or clip. Loyal fans support the group, try to advise, rejoice in good luck and actively comment on both the lyrics and their attitude towards them.Currently, they actively voted for the victory of their favorite performers in the "Hit of the Year" competition, which is held according to the "NR" version, where the competitors of "Caspian Cargo" were recognized hip-hop monsters like Basta, Rem Digg, the already famous Guf, Slim and Ptah ... The guys from Baku presented the hit "You get there - write". The beginning of 2015 will delight the fans of the group with a dense touring schedule, fans have the opportunity to visit the nearest major locality where the concert will take place, and not try to get to the capital. What is especially pleasing is that the geography covers not only the European part Russian Federation, but also its outskirts, including Khabarovsk and Vladivostok (February), Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg (April). In March 2015, "Caspian Cargo" will perform at the club with symbolic name"16 Tons". The performance is positioned by the performers as a special concert in which only the most rarely performed hits of the duet will be performed. This event is especially valuable both for the band members themselves and for their many fans.
It's no secret that the team " Caspian Cargo"ceases to exist. After not the longest, but successful career, the members of the group achieved a lot, got a lot of fans, but the minuses turned out to be more significant than the pluses. On October 6, the next issue of the program was published " Russian rap from the first person", whose main character was Gross, and during the conversation, the artist talked about the group's farewell tour " Caspian Cargo", about the breakup of the band and who was the initiator, as well as about the songwriting.
"Caspian Cargo"really breaks up. Gross confirmed this information. The rapper stressed that the group will not reunite, as many teams are currently doing. According to the artist, the decision has been made finally. The initiator of the idea - Gross... The reason is the fall in popularity. According to the performer, leaving the game should be as beautiful as breaking in. The musician noted that the peak of the band's popularity was two years ago. This is noticeable in the comments of listeners, the number of concertgoers and the reaction of the media. Now, according to the rapper, the situation is not changing for the better.
Gross believes that an artist or a group should always be relevant. In his opinion, the work of the collective " Caspian Cargo"it is no longer perceived by the audience. The rapper does not hide that the main theme of the team is criminal. However, according to the performer, it is no longer interesting to the audience as it used to be. The rapper does not want to look funny with his themes against the background of more relevant colleagues." Weight fully supported him in this matter.
"Caspian Cargo"planned a big farewell concert tour, during which the band will visit many cities with a considerable number of tracks. creative page the team will be closed forever. The reunion of the team is not worth waiting for.
Talking about myself Gross noted that he was unable to adjust to the trend. The rapper has been writing about the same characters for a long time, changing their stories. The artist likes what he composes, but he sees that people no longer perceive it so well, and the performer does not know how to write about what is fashionable.
