Guf or Guf - one of the most extraordinary and famous Russian rappers with a rather confusing biography, was born on 09/23/1979 in one of the capital's maternity hospitals.
Childhood
With his biological father, who was born and subsequently lived in Rostov-on-Don, the mother of Alexei Dolmatov (real name of the artist) broke up before the birth of his son. Actually, the boy found out about his very existence already in his teens, during one of the serious scandals with his adoptive father about his behavior.
Lesha's early childhood passed in Moscow, mainly under the supervision of his grandmother, as his parents worked hard and had almost no opportunity to raise their son. Grandmother did not have a soul in him, and the boy often abused this, skipping school and spending most of his time with friends in the yard.
In high school, a surprise awaited him. The parents were assigned to China and soon took their son to live with them. There he spent a total of about 7 years. He graduated from high school, managed to master Chinese well and even entered a local university. But there he first tried drugs and quickly became addicted to them.
According to strict Chinese laws, for the use and distribution of drugs, it was easy not only to go to jail, but also literally lose your life - some of the articles provide for the death penalty. Tired of fighting his son's addiction and fearing for his future, his parents send him back to Moscow.
Career
Who knows how long Guf would have lasted in a drug dope if he had not become seriously interested in music. He tried to write rap as a teenager. After returning from China, he decided to record his first composition "Chinese Wall", which somehow got into the rotation of several Moscow radio stations and brought him fame in the capital.
Inspired by the first success, Alexey creates the Rollexx duet with his friend Roman and begins to perform wherever possible. The guys are gradually gaining fame, their fees begin to grow steadily and often they become guests of large Moscow parties. The first success really turned their heads.
But here, against the background of the stellar illness that has overcome the guys, a destructive passion flares up with renewed vigor. And since it is easy to get any drugs in Moscow, and not just the light ones that Lesha dabbled in China, then for a long two years he is completely immersed in a narcotic dope, taking away a fair amount of health and more than one year of life from his beloved grandmother.
Only in 2002, he realizes that all dreams are rapidly flying downhill and tries to "tie up". He starts composing again and decides to create a solo album, in which the pseudonym Guf has already been used. But while the work was going on, he met other talented guys, and they are trying to perform together.
In 2004, together with Princip Guf, he opened a new project "Center". He records several discs for his own money, copies of which were presented at a New Year's party to close friends.
Discs begin to be replicated, and guys are invited to perform at prestigious clubs. A little later, two more members joined the group: Ptaha and Slim's, and in this line-up the team even began to tour successfully. Everything seemed to fit perfectly...
But now the problems with the law begin at the Principle. However, all members of the group continue to indulge in drugs, which periodically causes scandals and even disruptions in some performances. Guf again begins to think about a solo project, and in 2009 he finally leaves the group.
In 2010 he presents the solo project ZM Nation. The debut album immediately took off to the top steps of the charts, but lasted there only a few months. However, this did not upset Guf too much, since a new project was already being prepared for the release.
To date, he is one of the most popular rap and hip-hop artists who has released 10 solo albums and has taken an active part in the recording of almost fifty more with other performers in these areas.
Personal life
His old love Aiza Vagapova helped Guf to finally give up drugs, who set a categorical condition - she or "nonsense". For the sake of his beloved, Guf went through the most severe withdrawal and began a solo career. In 2008, she finally officially became his wife, and a year later the couple had an heir - a little "Gufik", as they jokingly call him.
With Aiza Vagapova
Until 2013, they were considered the perfect rapper couple, which is a rarity. But later, serious scandals began in the family, and their reason was that Guf began to use drugs again. However, there are other rumors that each of the spouses has new lovers. But the matter has not yet reached the official divorce.
Recall that in the winter, photographs appeared in the press, in which Keti and rapper Guf were allegedly photographed, sunbathing in an embrace by the pool. Since the quality of the photo was poor, the faces could not be seen, but bystanders claimed that Guf and Topuria were vacationing together in Thailand.
We are friends with Katie. And after this ridiculous news, we become friends even stronger. I don't know who's in the photos.
In an interview, journalist and blogger Yuri Dud asked Guf (Alexey Dolmatov), who repeatedly had drug problems, if Topuria helped him in 2016, when the musician once again became addicted to taking illegal drugs.
She didn't suspect it. We met on the set of the video and sometimes met to drink tea. She constantly persuaded me, but I, being on my own wave, merged all the time. Then he himself turned to her for help and asked her to do something. She put me in a hospital in Moscow several times...
In addition to rumors about an affair with Keti, Guf also frankly and regretfully admitted that he had destroyed his marriage with his own hands, although the entire CIS was rooting for their couple. Now, from which she gave birth to a son, Elvis.
For a while, I cheated on my wife. Almost immediately after the birth of a child or even during pregnancy. It's terrible ... At some point, I just stopped hiding it, I disappeared in strip clubs, hung out there for a couple of days. It was already in the order of things ... At some point, she decided to teach me a lesson so that I would put myself in her place. She met some guy, kissed, and it all ended up on the Internet. And she just kissed.
Now Guf regrets the past, but the ex-couple managed to improve relations for the sake of their son. Now in
36-year-old Alexei Dolmatov aka Guf is considered one of the most popular Russian rappers. Guf's name is often associated with the subject of prohibited substances - he himself does not deny his love for experiments with the expansion of consciousness. Aleksey himself is a person popular on the Internet (a famous meme is the fake news about the death of the artist) and among law enforcement agencies.
Alexei began his hip-hop career as part of the Rolex-X group: until 2005, he used the group's name as his own pseudonym. The theme of drugs runs like a red thread through the life and work of Guf: Dolmatov wrote his first and one of the heaviest tracks at the age of 19. The song tells about the struggle with addiction and refusal to use hard drugs - the rapper has been rehabilitated in China for several years. After treatment, Guf gave up drugs for a certain period, but the further history of the musician will tell the opposite: drugs have always been part of his musical lifestyle and lifestyle.
Since the beginning of the 2000s, Guf has been hitting creativity: a track is being recorded with, a collaboration with, and Dolmatov also takes part in the album “Basta 2” (song). A group is formed, which will later also include. As a result, in 2007 an album with the ambiguous title “City of Roads” was released, which received good reviews from critics and listeners. The leitmotif of the release, which is logical, was the topic of drugs. On May 27, his presentation took place at the club “16 tons”. By the way, Guf recorded one of the songs together with his grandmother, Tamara Konstantinovna.
In 2009, there was a quarrel between the participants, as a result of which Guf was filmed separately from and for the “Air is OK” video. Subsequently, the musicians reconciled - in one of the texts, Guf admitted that his “vanity and commercialism” were to blame for everything.
Guf also continued to collaborate with, but despite the release of a joint album and joint concerts in 2010, the relationship between the musicians did not work out, and Guf never joined the Gasholder label.
On April 20, 2014, the provocative album “420” was released together with: the date and title of the album symbolize the attitude towards the culture of marijuana smoking. One of the tracks is the rapper's opinion about the new school of hip-hop and Versus battles. To put it mildly, Guf advises young people to “filter the market”.
Guf is known for conflicts with government officials. One of the latest incidents occurred at the end of September 2015, when law enforcement authorities detained the musician on suspicion of using and possessing illegal substances. After passing the tests, traces of cocaine and marijuana were found in Dolmatov's body: the musician was detained for 6 days and received compulsory treatment for drug addiction.
From 2008 to 2013, Guf was married to Aiza Dolmatova, has a son, Sami.
Childhood and youth I welcome guests and regular readers of the site website. So, rap artist Alexey Sergeevich Dolmatov, better known under the pseudonym Guf, first saw the world in Moscow on September 23, 1979. He grew up as a Russian-Jewish boy, went to one of the capital's schools, skipped classes, dabbled in light drugs, which was due to the fact that his parents did not properly raise their son. Already in the third grade, Lesha began to listen to rap. At the age of 12, the parents take their son with them and move to China, where he continues to receive education. In another country, Alexei managed to study at a Chinese university. Under the then mood, he wrote his first composition "Chinese Wall", which was written at the age of 19. In China, our hero dealt in illegal drugs. It is not surprising that soon the guards of law and order drew attention to the young man. Because of this incident, Guf quickly had to return to Moscow, where Alexei lived for some time with his grandmother Tamara Konstantinovna.
Creation
After a while, Lesha submits documents and enters the Faculty of Economics, where, as a result, he makes new friends. With one of these acquaintances in 2000, he created a hip-hop project - "Rolex-X", the name of which is derived from the names of the band members: Roma and Lehi. It was during this period that the pseudonym Guf appeared in the young man. After a two-year creative break associated with the drug addiction of a guy, Alexei again takes up music. The rapper begins to write his own album, and while working on one of the compositions, in 2002, he meets Slim, a member of the Smoke Screen group. Together they record the track "Wedding", which later became a cult for the guys and received a lot of positive In 2004, Alexey, together with Nikolai Princip, founded the "Centr" group. He also recorded a trial album, which was released in a limited edition. The composition of the "Center" changed several times, but in the end only three performers remained - Guf, Slim and Ptah. The musical creativity of the guys was mainly connected with the drug theme.The team begins to re-release old works and release new ones.In 2006, the comrades organize their own label, called "CAO Records".Centr during a live performance (2006)
In parallel, Dolmatov managed to engage in solo projects. So, in 2007, he presented the album "City of Roads" (the performer prefers that the second word is stressed on the first syllable). The album was written in a week, but despite this, it received the highest ratings from both ordinary listeners and the rap community. It was on this disc that the first track about the grandmother ("Gossip") was published, which in every possible way shared her grandson's hobbies and supported him in all endeavors. Well, after the composition "Original Ba" Tamara Konstantinovna became known as Original Ba XX. In the same year, the group "Centr" released their first full-length disc "Swing". The release includes 16 audio recordings, many of which have become cult. The track "City of Roads" won in the "Hip-Hop" nomination at MTV Russia 2008. We can say that this was the universal recognition of the artists and their entry into the ranks of rap stars. It should also be noted that at this time the group changes its name from "Center" to "Centr". This is due to the suspicion of plagiarism and selfish use of the name of the famous Soviet-American band Vasily Shumov.
Centr - City of Roads (2012)
Further, Alexei takes part in the recording of the track "My Game" and the music video for it. In this piece, the rappers talk about what they've been through in the past, including problems with psychotropic substances.
In the fall of 2008, the release of the Centr album "Efir is Normal" took place, in which such performers as 5Plyukh, Noggano, Slovetsky, and others appeared. According to the site "Rap.ru", the release became the best album of 2008. The guys had great success, and their tracks are very popular: “Someone is the most knowledgeable, downloaded from the Internet. in suspicious nines and foreign cars!
Due to a conflict situation with other members, Guf decides to leave "Centr" in 2009. The guy does not waste time and creates his own label "ZM Nation", and also publishes the album "At Home". This is the second studio album of the hero of our biography, the total duration of which is about 55 minutes. Such beatmakers as Miko, Basta, Capella, Nel (Marselle) worked on the disc. Compositions made in a style typical of the artist: storytelling to pleasant and pumping beats. The track "Ice Baby" deserves special attention, in which Lesha confesses his love to his wife Aiza. This composition took the 12th line in the Russian digital tracks chart, which is a confirmation of its popularity at that time.
Guf - Ice Baby (2010)
In 2010, Guf begins a close collaboration with Vasily Vakulenko (Basta), with whom he records a disc called "Basta / Guf". Despite the gray and unpretentious booklet of the album, the songs had their success: on all phones, the tracks sold out with extraordinary speed. Many of the songs were very fond of the fans of Guf's work and remained in the players until now, because when listening to them, one mentally manages to return to the past and nostalgic for the bygone years.
Basta ft. Guf - Samurai (2011)
In the fall of 2012, the album "Sam I ..." is presented. This is Alexey's third studio release, which consists of 23 tracks. As with many previous titles, the title of the album does not have a single meaning. In addition to the original (himself and those others who are nearby), the name of the son, whose name is Sami, is meant. The rapper is very kind to him and gives him his love, trying to be a good father, despite all the nuances and circumstances.

In 2017, two parts of the joint album "GuSli" with Slim are released, the name of which is formed from the initial letters of the guys' creative pseudonyms. All the same, the usual stories of guys about life, put on trendy bits.

In February 2018, one of the most anticipated battles of the Versus platform is released, where Guf and Ptaha met face to face. The prehistory of the conflict was long, the guys spoke impartially towards each other, accused of all kinds of sins, and finally, they decided to express all the claims face to face. There were also certain conditions of the financial plan, so this issue had a sufficient amount of advertising. As a result, thanks to charisma and the ability to make it interesting for the public to spread their thoughts, the victory was for Guf. At the battle itself, many personal things were expressed and passions did not subside even after the fight.

Personal life
If we talk about personal life, it should be noted that in 2008 the hero of the biography married Aiza Vagapova, to whom he dedicated one of his main hits "Ice Baby". The couple had a great relationship and the fruit of their love was the son of Sami, who was born in May 2010. But at this time, as Lesha recalls in an interview, he begins to cheat on his wife. Relations were taken to extremes, and constant quarrels ended with Aiza leaving Guf in 2013, and since March 2014 their relationship has officially ended. It should also be mentioned that during the battle "Versus" Lesha's opponent David was told that Guf has another son. Alexey was seen in relationships with many girls of model appearance, but this did not lead to anything serious. The public is aware that for some time the artist was in a relationship with Keti Topuria, but the couple soon broke up. There is also evidence of Alexey's connections with an 18-year-old girl Yana, who blackmailed the rapper by presenting to the public some facts of their closeness.Guf now
Guf is a talented performer who has remained in demand over the years. His manner of narration and sincerity in the tracks attracts many. Every year Lesha tries to expand the scope of his work and experiments are not alien to him. Thanks to the presence of a stable fan base that Alexey has formed, he is supported even during difficult periods in the life of his idol. Thus, Guf receives a portion of trust from the fans and has no right to disappoint them. The artist is not going to stop there, he plans to release new creative material and concert performances, which the rapper's fans are looking forward to.Preview: Wikimedia Commons - Alina Platonova
