Creativity Guf
Alexey Sergeevich Dolmatov, and that is the name of our today's birthday boy, was born in the capital of the Russian Soviet Republic- Moscow. When the boy was 12 years old, the family moved to live in China, where Lyosha graduated high school and received a linguist diploma. The guy planned to open his own business in China and stay there forever. Drug addiction changed his plans. In order to avoid Chinese justice, Dolmatov had to return to his homeland.
In Moscow future artist received a degree in economics and thought about big stage. He has long been attracted to music. The guy even wrote several of his own songs.
In 2000, Dolmatov became a member of the Rolexx musical group, in which he gained his first fame.
Two years later, the musician decides to start work on his debut solo compilation. He records new compositions and begins to collaborate with an artist who is known under the pseudonym Slim. Over time, this duet presents many jointly recorded compositions, including "Wedding", "Mistake", "Independence", "Say", "Gone".
In 2004, the Centr group appeared, organized by Guf together with Nikolai Nikulin, who is known under the pseudonym Princip. The musicians begin to work on new songs and, soon, they will present the first trial album, called "Gift".
Real success comes to Guf in 2006. It was then that such compositions as “Gossip”, “New Year's” and “My Game” appeared. These compositions become incredibly popular among listeners, and make Guf a real star. Having gained wide popularity, the performer often works in a duet with such performers as AK-47, Noggano, Zhigan and Smokey Mo.
In 2007, our today's hero begins to work more and more often as solo artist. In 2007, he presents his album, in which the musician Basta participates. Two years later, Guf's next disc is released, which is called "Houses". The album became quite successful, and Dolmatov received several music awards.
The cooperation of today's birthday man with Basta turned out to be very fruitful. They began to work a lot together in 2010 and soon presented a joint collection "Basta / Guf". In addition, the performers gave several large-scale concerts, where a huge number of their fans gathered. As a reward for his fruitful work, Guf became the owner of the title "Artist of the Year" and strengthened his position on the national stage.
The singer is actively collaborating with musical group"Caspian Cargo". Among their joint songs, there are such as "Winter", "Jackets", "Houdini".
In his author's compositions, the artist often raises the topic of drug addiction and other social problems. Having experienced everything negative sides drug addiction, Guf is trying to protect the younger generation from this addiction.
Guf's personal life
Alexey Dolmatov first married in 2008. His wife was Aiza Vagapova, whom the musician had known for a long time. Two years later, the couple had a son - Sami. This union lasted 5 years, after which a loud and scandalous divorce followed.
In 2015, the rapper underwent another course of treatment for drug addiction. After completing his treatment, he resumed his creative activity. continues to present his new compositions and often speaks to the audience.
A native Muscovite was born on September 23 (Virgo), 1979. I started listening to rap at the age of 10. Loved artists like 2pac, Nas and Biggie. Dreamed of writing down joint track with Nasir Jones. In the fifth grade, the biography of Guf (Alexey Dolmatov) begins to change. He was in a company that introduced him to drugs. After that, there is a gradual transformation of an obedient child into a burden for parents.
The beginning of a rap career
In the early 2000s, a friend of Roma appears in the biography of Alexei Dolmatov. Together they create the Rolexx group (short for Roma and Lech). Even when Alexei left the group and started solo work, he used the band's name as his pseudonym until 2005.
Alexey's first track was released when he was 19 years old, the song was called "Chinese Wall".
Since 2002, Alexey Dolmatov began to write songs more often and worked on his first album. In the same year begins cooperation with Slim. Their first joint track was called "Wedding".
Group "Center"
Alexey wanted to continue rapping, but he understood that he needed help. Together with rapper Princip in 2004, Alexey created the Center group. The guys release their first album "Gift". At that time, the guys did not think about sales, so they released the album in a small edition - only 13 discs, which they later presented to their friends for the New Year.
At the time of 2006, Guf established himself in the rap community as an experienced drug addict, who clearly had a special style of storytelling. Further in the biography of Alexei Dolmatov, rapper Basta is found. They record the track "My Game" and accompany the work with a clip. Then there is work with Smokey Mo on the track "Traffic", which was also accompanied by a clip.
By 2007, the "Center" consisted of three MS - Guf, Slim and Ptah. Princip got in trouble with the law long before and dropped out of rap. In April of the same year, the Center group presented the album City of Roads. Guf starts concert activity. In October, the "Center" in the new composition releases the second album "Swing".
Two years later, Guf, in one of his interviews, declares that he is leaving the Center due to disagreements with two other participants. This does not prevent him from doing solo work, Guf, inspired by his place of residence - "zamoskvorechye" - creates the ZM Nation label and releases the album "Houses" in December.
In the period from 2009 to 2014, the following solo albums by Alexei Dolmatov were released: “At Home” (2009) and “Sam and ...” (2013). As well as joint releases with Basta "Basta / Guf" (2010) and with Rigos "420" (2014).
After leaving the "Center", Guf uploads the video "One Hundred Lines" to the Internet, where he indirectly mentions Slim and Bird in a negative way. These lines can be regarded as the fact that the former colleagues were pretty tired of Guf during the time of cooperation.
Slim and Bird in response shoot a parody clip for the most popular song Gufa Ice Baby, where his behavior is ridiculed. Despite the departure of Guf, the Center continues to work and the guys release an album.
Band reunion
2014 becomes a significant year both for the fans of the Center and for the biography of Alexei Dolmatov. First, the song "Caspian Cargo", on which Guf and Slim appeared. Then a photo on Ptakh's Instagram account, on which the same trinity stands. The end point, when everyone understood about the reunion of the group, was the joint track of Ptakhi and Guf "Po Nizam".
Later, the group announced the start of concerts and performed in in full force on Channel One. The members of the group admitted and forgave each other past mistakes, and also realized that they had done stupid things when they ruined the team.
During the concerts, Alexey Dolmatov (Guf) understands that he stepped on the same rake as he once did. He cannot get along on the same team with Bird. The band informs the fans about the end of the concerts. Also, the group members note that the album "System" will be the last joint creation.
Despite the fact that Aleksey Dolmatov (Guf) could not get along with Bird, they had a good relationship and mutual understanding. As a duet, they even release two albums GuSli and GuSli II.
Battle vs Bird
In October 2017, Ptah, who remained on the sidelines, uploads a three-minute video to the Internet in which he calls Guf to the Versus battle.
Guf responded harshly with a live broadcast on his Instagram account. In the broadcast, in addition to Bird, the embittered rapper also touched Pharaoh, T-Fest, Scryptonite and Basta. main idea was that he accepts an invitation to a battle. True, provided that he is paid 2 million rubles.
The organizer and creator of Versus on the stream blogger Leha Med confirmed the information that the battle will take place. He also noted that 1 million will be allocated for Ptakhi, and 2 million for Guf.
On February 18, 2018, the very long-awaited battle comes out. By decision of the judges, Guf won with a score of 3-0.
Alias rights
In 2007, the first proposal to sign a contract appeared in the biography of Alexei Dolmatov. In those days, Guf led wild image life, every penny was important to him, and he did not read the terms of the contract. It so happened that by signing the contract, he transferred his name with all rights for 10 years. For this, he received $ 5,000 and was very happy, because then rap did not bring big fees. After signing a huge pile of papers, the rapper shook off the sweat from his forehead and rushed to his former life. The realization that he had transferred the rights for 10 years came to him later, but it was impossible to turn back time.
After the death of the owner of the company with which Guf signed the contract, all rights were transferred to his wife. Then this company was bought by another person. After that, for the remaining 9 years, Guf received lawsuits and accusations that he was an impostor and was making money on someone else's name. The concert organizers were in a state of confusion, because they received calls from the tax and police, they did not fully understand who the concert was being organized for until they met the rapper in person.
The total number of claims was 150 pieces. From each concert, the rapper had to pay 150 thousand rubles, if he went for it, now he would be bankrupt. Due to the huge amount of fines, Guf decides to hire lawyers, because it will be cheaper to get out of the situation. In December 2017, the problem was resolved, and now Guf is the owner of his name and everything connected with it.
Problems with stuttering
While still a schoolboy, Guf suffered from stuttering and could not answer, standing in front of the class when the teacher called him. Therefore, he handed over all assignments in writing. Even when Guf reads a book aloud, he stutters. The rapper has logoneurosis. As the rapper himself explains, whether stuttering will appear or not depends on internal state. When he is nervous, he cannot articulate his first and last name. The musician also notes that if he drinks coffee in the morning, then stuttering is guaranteed for the rest of the day.
Restriction of the public
Guf is mortally afraid of communicating with the public. Concerts for him are earnings. The main thing is to shoot quickly. When Guf feels a hitch, he runs to the DJ and asks to put on the next track as soon as possible in order to avoid communicating with the public. For 15 years of his career, Guf has not learned to overcome his fear, his performance looks like reading a verse. However, he is trying to work on it.
Guf is surprised at young artists who, entering the stage, conquer the audience from the first words and “blow up” the hall with their performance. Guf is already afraid to try on such a role. He thinks that he will not succeed, or it will look ridiculous at his age. He even finds it ridiculous that he's rapping at 37.
Life in China
Moving to China took place at the age of 11. Prior to that, Alexei lived with his grandmother and was left to himself. Mother, after a divorce from Guf's father, was engaged in arranging her personal life. Soon a stepfather appeared, with whom she spent all the time. Guf thinks that the drug connection was due to a large number free time and bad company.
Alexey's family went on a business trip to China for 5 years. In order not to waste time, Guf enters the Chinese Institute foreign languages. The rapper began to sell drugs and was respected among his acquaintances. Representatives stood in line for a purchase different countries- Italians, Germans and Koreans.
Having learned that Alexey is engaged in the distribution of drugs, Russian embassy promptly sends Guf back to Russia. Leaving all his belongings that he has acquired over seven years, Guf goes to his homeland by baggage charter. It is not known what would have happened to the young rapper if he had been caught by the Chinese authorities, because China provides for the death penalty for the drug trade. True, only for Chinese citizens, most likely, Guf would also be sent home. Only in this case, a Russian court would have been waiting for him.
First drugs
IN school years Guf had an Armenian friend, who at that time already had acquaintances with the elders. Once this friend suggested that Alexei smoke marijuana. It was at the age of 12, Guf, without thinking twice, agreed, because he had previously watched his peers who had been in this topic for a long time, and wanted to try what it was for himself. For the first time, Guf did not feel the effects of the drug on himself.
The first acquaintance with hard drugs happened at the age of 17. On that moment permanent place Guf's residence was China, he came to Russia to visit his grandmother every few years to stay for a month. And on the next such vacation, Guf notices that many young people sniff heroin. And Alexey also decides to try. Alexei snorted heroin the day before he left for China.
About a bad experience with drugs
In the fall of 2016, the single "About Summer" was released, in which the rapper reads that he again got out of the even order of life. Talks about planning a productive life. But due to a creative impasse, after 4 years of abstinence, he returned to drugs again. I decided to try once, but in the end it turned out that Guf did not remember how six months had passed. And in August, he himself felt that a little more and his life would end in death. It all ended with the fact that he was sent to rehabilitation, where he was injected with sleeping substances so that the body would recover and no longer require a new dose.
After that, he returned to Moscow, but again he could not restrain himself. Guf understood that this was no longer possible and, with a serious attitude, he returned to rehabilitation, which lasted a month and a half. This is not the first time, the rapper was close to death from an overdose in 2012.
Amnesty
The presidential amnesty helped the rapper not to stay in Butyrka. After serving seven months, he is released - he was released under a presidential amnesty.
Guf had a suspended sentence for possession of marijuana, it lasted 1 year. Literally five days before the end of the probation, Guf passed the session and decided to celebrate it in a familiar way. I bought a glass of marijuana and went to the station, then to go to the country. But while Aleksey was studying the train schedule, a policeman approached him and began to conduct an inspection. In Guf's purse, he found cigarettes and eye drops. Continuing the search, Guf found a glass of grass in his shorts. Guf resolves the issue with the investigator in such a way that he was promised a second suspended sentence. And now Aleksey is asked to come, allegedly to take away the court's decision on the second suspended sentence. But the investigator changed in the case, and Guf was sent to Butyrka.
The film "Gazgolder"
Probably all fans and listeners of Guf know about his role in the film "Gasholder" (2014). In fact, this is not the rapper's first film experience. In 2006, he worked on the soundtrack for the film ZHARA. In 2009, he had the opportunity to duplicate one of the heroes animated film"9". Guf also participated as an actor and producer in the film "Egor Shilov" (2017).
Personal life
After Guf met Aiza, the biography and personal life of Alexei Dolmatov changes in better side. They for a long time were a couple. In 2008 they got married. With the support of his girlfriend, Guf tried several times to distance himself from drugs. In 2009, the couple has a son, Sam. A photo of Alexei Dolmatov with his son is above in the article.
As Guf admits, he began to cheat on his wife when she was still pregnant. The lady of the heart forgave him this oversight. However, the couple divorced in 2014.
After Aiza, a girl named Anastasia Kiushkina appeared in the personal life of Alexei Dolmatov. However, they did not succeed, the rapper explains this by saying that the girl was too stupid.
In October 2017, rapper Alexei Dolmatov posted a photo of his son on his Instagram account. Under the photo, the rapper wrote that he is looking for his son and asks fans to tell him if they see the boy on the streets of the city. The son is not really missing. And such a post is explained by the fact that Aiza Anokhina limited the communication of Sam and her ex-husband.
“I am enough humble person, I like rap, I like to do it, I like to perform for my people. But if it's going to be this massive, I don't know if I can continue like this and write in the same style. “
