One of the most fashionable and outrageous Russian video bloggers, rapper Big Russian Boss performed last Friday, March 10, in St. Petersburg with a spectacular show. Together with his colleague Pimp, the rapper presented his new album at the Waiting Room club.
The concert was sold out: fans of the "lord of Russian rap" stocked up on alcohol and gathered at the entrances to the building long before the soundcheck. The rapper diluted his texts with puns and jokes about St. Petersburg and his "divine" origin, and in between jokes he arranged pranks for the audience.
The audience chanted "Boss!" and "Husl hard!". At the beginning of the show, the rapper turned to one of the viewers: "I have a question for you right away, brother. ***** (why. - Note. ed.) did you come in Oksimiron's T-shirt?" However, the "Big Boss" did not show much aggression - on the contrary, the rapper was very glad that the St. Petersburg public knew all his texts by heart.
The show lasted a little over an hour, and before the last song, the "international god of rap" boasted to fans that after the concert he and his company were going to drink champagne in a hotel, surrounded by a large number of available women. Life decided to follow the popular rapper and his team to the "party of the year".
However, neither a limousine nor a party bus came for the star of Russian rap. On the contrary, after the show, Igor Sirotkin (real name Big Russian Boss) and Stas Konchenkov (Pimp), together with the DJs, called an economy class taxi, which went towards the Moscow railway station.
A modest car brought the "public favorite" to an inexpensive three-star mini-hotel on Nevsky Prospekt. As Life found out, the musicians rented a very inexpensive room in a mini-hotel - costing just over three thousand for three days of stay. The Big Russian Boss and his wards did not order alcohol in the room.
As it turned out, shocking musicians off the stage are modest in everything: for example, performers wear most of their stage clothes in everyday life. After the concert, Igor Sirotkin took off only an extravagant fur coat, replacing it with a black Nike jacket, but remained in the same sweatpants, and Stas Konchenkov put on a white jacket and cap instead of a balaclava, but did not change shoes for concert sneakers.
Such asceticism is quite at odds with the image that the rapper creates on YouTube and concerts. The musician never appears on stage without one of his bright coats. In addition, voluminous chains, a golden crown and dark glasses are also the most important details of the rapper's image. According to the legend he spreads, the Boss himself lives in Miami, surrounded by luxurious women, high-quality drugs and other attributes of the life of bad guys. In reality, however, there is no proof of this. Moreover, evil tongues claim that Sirotkin was born in Samara, and his thick black beard is artificial.
The name of the Big Russian Boss and Pimp is well known to every rap connoisseur and active YouTuber. These are really bright, extraordinary and memorable people, so now it’s worth briefly talking about their activities, as well as what Young P&H and Big Russian Boss look like without makeup. Indeed, for many, these guys are not associated with their real appearance, but with their images.
You need to know the stars!
It is worth paying attention to the above photo. It depicts the greatest Big Russian Boss without makeup, whose real name is Igor Lavrov. Although it is difficult to say with absolute certainty about the surname, since some sources indicate other options - Seravin and Sirotkin.
The picture below shows not only Big Russian Boss without makeup, but also Young P&H. The real name of the "colleague" and close silent friend of Igor's name is Stas Konchenkov.
In public, in their show, at concerts and even in online broadcasts, the guys appear exclusively in images. The Big Boss has dark glasses, a headscarf with a crown (in the manner of Arab sheikhs), a thick false beard, a colored fur coat (red or blue, as a rule) and gold rings. And a hoarse voice like Lil Jon's.
Pimp, in turn, is a "style icon". He walks around in a gray tracksuit, body armor over it, and a black mask that reveals only his eyes and smile.
About images
Considering the topic of how Big Russian Boss looks without makeup, I would like to pay attention to his image as a whole.
According to a fictional legend, the Big Russian Boss is a "bad" guy born and raised in Miami. He has everything you could want - gorgeous women, jewelry, his own airline, and a business related to precious metals.
Pimp, in turn, is supposedly the "manager" of the elite girls. However, one can guess so, since “Pimp” is translated from English as “procurer” - and this is a synonym that characterizes this specific type of activity.
We have to agree that such an idea would be difficult to realize without makeup. And the photos of Big Russian Boss and Young P&H make sure that the images of the guys are really interesting, original, memorable and recognizable.
about the project
Well, what Big Russian Boss and Young P&H look like without make-up is clear. Now - a few words about how and with what friends started.
Not everyone knows that the guys were originally enemies. They were members of different teams of writers (drawing graffiti on the walls), at odds with each other. Once, an arrow took place between him, on which Stas and Igor met. It was when they were in high school.
The guys became friends - they were united by a craving for creating music. The first songs of the duet were from the category of "for friends", but then one of them leaked into the network, and suddenly became popular.
The duet began to develop. Both of its members are excellent performers, but each has its own role. Igor is not only a bright rapper, but also a born showman. And Stas is the author of all their songs. To date, their duet, according to the rating of the most popular Russian, is in the TOP-50 of the most famous performers in our country. About 2,500,000 users have subscribed to the guys' YouTube channel, and each episode of the BRB show collects several million views.
Big Russian Boss broke into the Russian Internet quite unexpectedly for many. Having sharply gained popularity, he continues to remain in the tops of Russian YouTube. It would seem that he and Young Pemp (better known as Pimp) got their fame by accident, but in reality this is not the case at all. Popularity was preceded by a huge work on oneself and creativity (but this is not accurate).
Boss's real name is Igor Lavrov. Was born on June 8, 1991 in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan. As a child, he moved to Samara with his family. He received two higher educations in the specialties of world economics, finance and credit. After graduating from the university, he worked for a year in a bank, which subsequently lost its accreditation. After that, the future BRB decided to devote himself entirely to creativity.
In high school, Igor met Stas Konchenkov (Young Pemp) with whom they initially had enmity and frequent skirmishes. After graduation, they met in a neutral atmosphere and, talking, found many common interests. In particular, both guys became interested in rap and graffiti drawing.
Their first tracks were available only to friends and sounded no different from hundreds of similar songs. Performed under pseudonyms Lowrydr and SlippahNeSpi. After the small success of their first video, quotes from which the very next day walked on Twitter, they took on new pseudonyms Big Russian Boss and Young P&H.
Below we present a photo of Big Russian Boss - Igor without a beard, wig and glasses.
The guys came up with new images. The boss wore colored fur coats, bright scarves on his head, many rings, fashionable bright sneakers, a crown hung with colored stones and sunglasses. Part of his image was a thick black beard and vaping. Pimp began to wear black clothes and a black mask with a slit for the eyes and the Chanel symbol on the forehead.
They came up with a legend for the images: living in Miami Boss, like the king of the world the owner of all the money and the favorite of beauties, and Pemp, as his less significant colleague.
After the release of the very first tracks in a new image, they began to receive a lot of negative comments and hatred, after which they realized that they began to hook people and decided to move further along this road.
They borrowed the manner of singing songs from Lil Jonah, a rapper from America, a representative of the "new school". In the texts of Boss's songs there is a lot of swearing, self-irony and insults, which does not leave anyone indifferent.
Igor Lavrov's career in a new image began with New Year's greetings to the audience of the MozgoYo! Boss and Pimp's first album "God's Word". According to the performers, it is performed in the "Christian rap" genre.
Already at the very beginning of his career, Big Russian Boss became the face of the most popular MDK public on VKontakte. It was there that the most powerful promotion of his work began. The springboard created by MDK allowed The Greatest to become famous far beyond the rap community, and his videos became popular throughout the Runet. On the wave of hype Boss releases his second album "In Bo$$ We Trust".
It is worth noting that Igor Lavrov "fired up" with promotion in the rap industry, although Stas Konchenkov was not particularly enthusiastic about this. But despite this, the guys released another album, which they called as "International Turnip God".
In the summer of 2016, Boss and Young Pemp start their own YouTube channel, where they host the Big Russian Boss Show, which has collected millions of views since the first episode.
YouTube stars are invited to the show, such as Eldar Dzharakhov, Danila Poperechny, Yuri Khovansky, Ruslan Usachev, Yan Go and others, as well as pop stars like Olga Buzova, LSP, Dmitry Malikov, Silver. The guest of the program was basketball player Timofey Mozgov. The boss in the image of the Greatest conducts an interview with the guest, asking him provocative, offensive, tricky questions, putting the guest in an awkward position.
Pemp says his comments very rarely and goes about his business in the background, occasionally exchanging taunts with the Boss. The show has its own quirks, such as a midget and "complaint and suggestion boobs".
By the end of 2016, the show is gaining such popularity that the Boss is invited to Moscow State University to give a lecture on how to promote your brand. The boss appears before the students in his famous image and conducts lectures in the usual manner of communication.
Igor Lavrov has been married to a girl born in 1994 for several years, Diana Manakhova. Igor keeps his personal life a secret and the marriage became known only from the answers on the Ask Fm website by Stas Konchenkov.
Now Big Russian Boss and Young Pump are playing concerts all over the country, making new music, continuing to produce a popular show, as well as a new format where they push two guests against each other in the form of a competition.
A blue fur coat, glasses that hide half of his face, and a crown on his head - this image became recognizable and brought popularity to a simple guy from Samara.
Big Russian Boss. Who is this guy?
The initial steps towards success took place in the public MDK, where listeners were able to appreciate his musical works for the first time. This site was a good start and gave confidence to the future YouTube star. It took the guys only a few months to create an aura of mystery around their project. Increasingly, questions began to flicker in various forums: “Big Russian Boss - who is this?”
How the image was created
Two schoolchildren from Samara, Stas and Igor, had a weakness for rap and decided to record several tracks. These were raw songs that did not bring them recognition. However, in their hometown, young people have achieved some recognition.
The guys decided that they needed to promote their creativity on social networks. It was there that they managed to collect the first reviews, which were negative and condemned their activities. Igor realized that you can play on this, because negative characters always attract more attention than ordinary artists. It only remained to figure out what Big Russian Boss looks like.
At this point, the idea comes to represent the main performer as a gangster from Miami, who has a big business and a lot of money. The speech began to abound with obscene expressions, and a normal voice replaced the drunken bass. After the first concert in St. Petersburg, he had already become a recognized showman, and people began to wonder who this Big Russian Boss really was.
Big Boss Style
Having made a bet on recognition, Igor did not lose. Although his idea was not innovative and earlier performers had already hidden their faces from the audience, Big Russian Boss did not cause such a stir around his hidden face, like the same Glucose or White Eagle at the end of the last century. Both journalists and fans dreamed of seeing Big Russian Boss without a mask. Tracksuits and a blue fur coat gave their owner a strange and ridiculous look. You could see the eyes behind the large glasses, but the black beard hid the lower part of the face. Fans were looking for any information about their idol Big Russian Boss. Who is this and why is he hiding his face?
Big Russian Boss Show
The idea to create a YouTube channel came after the first wave of success. It was necessary to promote their songs, and with such an abundance of obscenities on television, the road was closed. But on the most popular video resource, his videos quickly gained popularity. Without a mask, Big Russian Boss did not appear at any event, be it a festival or a corporate party. After releasing the show and inviting the most popular personalities to visit, he quickly amassed 2.5 million subscribers. The presenter interviewed the heroes of his program and, in his usual manner, asked the most tricky questions. Many participants of the show admitted that they expected to see what Big Russian Boss looks like without a mask. But he stuck to the image even after filming.
Music
All the artist's compositions were saturated with irony and challenged society. The most popular were his joint songs with and Molly. Millions of views and a good ratio of likes and dislikes once again confirmed the relevance of his content. Many were surprised when they saw what Big Russian Boss looks like in the video "I like it." Even the summer heat did not make him take off his fur coat. The audience of listeners is young people aged 18-25.
Life without a mask
At the moment, it is not difficult to find a photo of Big Russian Boss without a mask. I didn’t manage to hide my real face for a long time, as fans from Samara quickly figured out their idol. A tall handsome guy with could become a middle-level rapper, but he would not have succeeded in gaining great popularity without the Big Russian Boss mask. Now the young man is only 26, and he will delight his fans with outstanding creativity for many years to come.
- The catchphrase "But this is not accurate" has become one of the most popular on the Internet and is the hallmark of the artist.

It's no secret that every self-respecting rap artist strives to earn as much money and fame as possible, and talent does not always come first. Sometimes the created images are decisive, because it becomes not so easy to stand out from the crowd of benchmarks. To stop the gray cat to start attracting attention, some add an extravagant image to creativity, which naturally works.
So in the world of show business, the self-proclaimed king of Russian turnip Big Russian Boss became a very bright and unusual personality. He condescendingly shares his work with an indifferent spectator, but the real story of his life is covered with a halo of mystery and only a select few know all the secrets of his personality. Most connoisseurs of domestic pop culture know only his image, non-standard behavior, dark glasses with a false beard, a fur coat and, of course, a crown, where without it.
According to the legend of Igor Lavrov, according to many sources, this is the name of the rapper, his character Big Russian Boss lives in Miami, where he earned his start-up capital by selling drugs, women and gold.
This was enough for him to develop his business, which, at the moment, is represented by an airline, an oil rig and a metallurgical plant.
How lived Big boss when he was small for many is still a mystery. Most argue that Big Russian Boss's real name is Igor Lavrov. However, there is also information that his real name is Sirotkin. So far, there is quite a bit of real information, because even not everyone knows what Igor Lavrov looks like without makeup.
A famous video blogger was born in Samara. His height clearly exceeds the mark of 2 meters. He is married to Diana Monakhova.
One of his favorite hobbies was spray art, common among teenagers.
Some time ago he performed under the pseudonym Igor Lowrydr.
As for creativity, at the beginning of 2010 the great Big Russian Boss joins the Samara band HustleHard Flava. The guys wanted to literally translate American rap, invented creative nicknames for themselves, and recorded a couple of tracks. A little later, the team felt that they were frankly not tolerated, which means that the work they created is definitely not catchy.
Therefore, it was decided to proceed further. Members of the group distributed their own records on the global network, then slowly began touring with concerts in Russia.
In 2013, Big Boss' personal album "BDSM" was released, which included 14 tracks from three artists. Songs Big Boss were filled with specific content, they had inherent obscene speech.
The stage image also contributed to the popularity: a thick beard, dark glasses, a golden crown and a fur coat. All the work of Big Russian Boss is aimed at ridiculing the representatives of the younger generation, their "clear" life, as well as banter over Russian rap.
According to the Great Bos in Russia, everything is absolutely sad with music, so he promotes his greatest talent and radiant dashing to the masses.
In due time our greatest Boss was the face of the largest public VKontakte "MDK", which presented his album. The audience of the public is over 7,000,000 people, and many famous Internet personalities, including our hero, have become its faces at different times.
Today, Big Boss pays special attention to YouTube and therefore moved to St. Petersburg.
He registered his new humorous channel "Big Russian Boss Show" in the middle of summer 2016, at the same time a promo video of the new intriguing show was released. Now Russian Boss personally takes from simple, according to him, mortals such as Sasha Chest, Eldar Dzharakhov, Yuri Khovansky and many others.
As a result, it continues to gain more and more popularity from various sources. So, for example, now he is most often searched on the Internet because of his track “ KVN- Exit Major.
