Free Download: Finest Ego – Russian Beatmaker Compilation (2010)
The tendency towards advanced beats seems to be more and more a global phenomenon. Decentred beats for decentred people. During the last few years also in Russia a small, loosely networked scene of people arose, who have experimented with hip hop beats. This results in an organic, very playful, snappy and jazzy sound, which is carried by a common vibe, but is in the same way as diverse as the “Finest Egos” of the artists themselves.

But in this case, the young Russians have no examples or references for this kind of music in the musical culture of their own country. All of their inspiration is taken from blogs and from the intensive study of their role models worldwide.
