Vulgarnyj toNN (Russian: Вульгарный тоНН) was a Russian rap group based in Vladivostok. The group comprised rAp, Ksandra, CLassic, Kore, and OST.
The band disbanded in 2011.[1]
History[edit]
Vulgarnyj toNN was established on 27th July, 2005. Initially, the band consisted of rAp and OST. In 2006, Ksandra, a singer, and CLassic, an MC, joined the band. Kore became a member in 2009. In the same year, OST relocated to Moscow and collaborated with the bands Rynochnye Otnosheniya (Russian: Рыночные Отношения) and Chernaya Ekonomika (Russian: Чёрная Экономика). He released a solo album and multiple tracks in collaboration with these bands. Although OST's contributions to Vulgarnyj toNN became minimal, he is still officially considered a band member.[1]
Participations in rap-battles[edit]
Hip-Hop.Ru Battles[edit]
Vulgarnyj toNN participated in several rap-battles, both as a team and individually. In 2007, the band reached the finals of the "5th command battle Hip-Hop.Ru," but was defeated by the band Mychanie Yagnyat (Russian: Мычание Ягнят), led by the renowned rap artist Maestro A-Sid.[2]
Team battle "Ostatsya v Zhivyh"[edit]
In 2007, Vulgarnyj toNN won the team battle "Ostatsya v Zhivyh" (Russian: Остаться в Живых, Russian for Lost), hosted by RapVladivostok.ru. This competition featured rap groups from the Primorsky Krai region of Russia.
InDaRnB.ru battles[edit]
Members of Vulgarnyj toNN participated in single rap battles organized by InDaRnB.ru. rAp and CLassic competed in the first battle, with Kore joining in the second. Among them, only CLassic achieved significant success. In the first InDaBattle, CLassic reached the semi-final but was defeated by the eventual winner, Chet, largely due to disagreements with one of the judges, David Nuriev (Russian: Давид Нуриев), known by the pseudonym Ptaha.[3] However, CLassic then participated in the "InDaBattle" festival,[4] which included winners and semifinalists of the battle, along with special guests.
CLassic also competed in the second InDaBattle. Despite new conflicts with the judges – the organizers of the battle, Snake, and rapper SD (Russian: СД) – CLassic reached the final but was defeated by 18-year-old Latvian rap artist Johnyboy, with a score of 5-2 in the final round.[5]
