“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen… Is the whole back one tattoo? So fourteen, fifteen, sixteen! The most beloved is the new emblem of Spartak,” Sasha ST (28) counts his tattoos before shooting. He has a busy summer - several songs are released at once, preparations are underway for the release of a new album, and you also need to have time to stay at home (after all, he has been married for almost two years). ST proudly displays a ring on his finger, and at the same time talks about music, criticism and star fever.
Let's start with the recent premiere... (31). Is it true that you wrote the song?
Guilty. ( Laughs. We were introduced by a mutual friend. Before that, we crossed paths at events, greeted each other, but were not closely acquainted. Olya told me all her story with Dima, and I, frankly, went nuts. She is a very interesting person, and first of all, a fragile girl, and I was so masculinely offended by how her "friends" turned away from her. Assol and I just wanted to be there and support her. And I felt that I wanted to write a song for Olya. Her song. And he said that I would write and give her a hit!
When I write to someone, it is important for me to understand the person - this is how Yulianna (29) and I worked on The Sea, this is how we wrote Crazy Russian with Lena Temnikova (32). We recorded the song “Little Half” literally in one day. Yes, somewhere in the universe there is a demo in which I sing: "I open the world of other men." ( Laughs.)
What are you working on right now?
Now I am working on my label Istoria Music - in the spring the album of our artist Aikyu was released, and in the summer the single "Bullet". Now we have recorded a joint song with him "We do not see them." Also, our new artist is currently recording the debut album on the label.
In addition, I have two recorded duets (I can’t tell you yet with whom), one will be launched at the end of summer, the other at the beginning of autumn. The second song with Bianca is ready (31). And now all forces are thrown into preparations for my fifth solo album, which will be released in the spring of 2018.
Indeed, in the album "Handwriting", in the tab on which lyrics are usually printed, I wrote poetry. Then I thought that there must be a lot of people who write poetry, but do not have a platform where they could share their creativity. And I created the #superPOETERS project and released the first collection of poems by contemporary poets. Many then were skeptical about my idea, saying that no one needed all this for a long time and the genre moved away. To date, the project is two years old, we have released two collections of poems, we have branches in other cities and wonderful participants!

What will the new album be like?
In general, I constantly scroll through rhymes in my head, and only then they turn into either songs or poems. I am a versatile artist, I can release a song with Yulianna Karaulova about the sea, then immediately a track about the Q2ZA area, in parallel I will make a soundtrack for the film The Defenders, and then I will release the lyrical Idyll. On the new album, it will all be combined into one sound that I finally found. The record will be very frank - I want to tell you what I feel, what is happening to me, what is happening with my music and the music around. For the first time, I was in the state of a maturing rapper. As someone recently tweeted, "I'm so sorry for the rappers who wanted to die at 27 and didn't succeed." It didn’t work out for me, because I met my beloved woman, got married and is happy. ( smiling.)
So you are satisfied with the status of a ringed man?
I feel great, I call it the fellowship of the ring. I really fell in love, I found the woman I was looking for and to whom I am grateful for a lot, I talk about this in the song “Idyll”, and in the song “Gravity”, and in the poems that I dedicate to her. Now, in general, the institution of marriage and family is not in trend - copulating with everything that moves is considered cool, but being faithful to one woman is the cost of antiquity. But I live by my own principles - my parents divorced, and I never had the feeling of a complete family, so I always dreamed of creating a strong social unit myself.
By the way, for which I am especially grateful to Assol (model and TV presenter Assol, Sasha's wife. - Note. ed.) - she reconciled me with my whole family. After my parents divorced, I did not communicate with my father, and my relationship with my mother was not the best. Assol first reconciled me with my mother and regularly calls her, then with my father (he already has two children). This year we even went to the 90th birthday of my grandmother, my father's mother. The whole family relies on her.
What attracted you in the first place?
I saw her in the photo and fell in love with her eyes - I immediately realized that it was mine. Arranged through friends to introduce us. And I consider myself still that alpha male ( smiling), I never had problems meeting someone, but here I was like a schoolboy in love with a high school student and literally could not connect two words. Then I realized that everything hit. Assol, by the way, had absolutely no idea who I was and what I was, and indeed, at the word "rapper" I did not expect anything good. But in the end, I came to her in Tver and said: "You will be my wife." She laughed, four months later we moved in together, and a year later we got married.
Do you think living together kills romance?
Life should not be a problem - this is a normal creation of a hearth, a cave where I bring prey, and it creates comfort. Here we recently bought a closet and laugh that we now have jointly acquired property - a closet and a carpet. How many we meet, there has never been a day that she did not have flowers. I believe that the flower stand near my house already owes me a lot of money. ( laughing.) We try to go on dates, travel somewhere, and I’m also infinitely lucky - my wife and I support the same football club, and in general, to be honest, she knows more about football than I do.
When you go on dates, you probably get recognized a lot. For many years in show business, have you got a star disease?
I'm still waiting for star disease so that I can proudly refuse people a photo. ( laughing.) In general, I go to the subway so as not to be late for meetings (people take pictures of me very funny on the sly, and I come up and start taking pictures of them), and until recently Assol was not at home, and I just really wanted “Doshirak” (not I know if you do.) I went and bought Doshirak and shot it on Instagram, and people started asking: “Have you run out of money?” And I write: "No, I'm just too lazy to go to McDonald's." I never put myself above someone else, despite the fact that people often take advantage of this and familiarity begins.
Since you're talking about the "response for the market." How did you decide to participate in Versus ?
For the first time for me it was a challenge to myself. This is not my element at all, but I really wanted to speak out. I found the most important thing, it was then Harry Hatchet, and said everything. It was the most difficult and unpleasant battle - you go out, and a person says all sorts of nasty things to your face, and you are forced to accept the conditions of the game, stand and listen. Then there were D.Masta and Oxxxymiron (32). I am grateful to each of them that we did not raise the topic of the family and behaved with dignity. I'm generally the only one of the media artists (let's say, from pop-rap) who dared to go there. Now I'm waiting for a suitable opponent, I still have something to say.
Childhood
The future rapper Sasha Stepanov was born on September 23, 1988 in the family of a naval officer, so his entire childhood was spent in constant moving. From the capital, where the boy was born, the family moved to Gadzhiyevo, a small town beyond the Arctic Circle, where the base of the Northern Fleet was located. A few years later, my father was transferred to Kaluga, and then the family returned to Moscow again. 
Sasha grew up as the most ordinary boy, lively and cocky, played with the guys in the yard, went in for sports, was fond of modern music. Interest in rap and hip-hop woke up in his teens, after he first heard songs performed by Tupac Shakur (2Pac), the iconic American rapper.
His work impressed the young man, and he also wanted to learn how to express his thoughts in music and texts. He began to write poetry, and at the age of 15 he recorded his first track with two comrades. This is how the Souljar's Family group was born, in which Alexander mastered the art of recitative and became known in the metropolitan musical crowd as the rapper ST (which at that time stood for $ t Soulja).
When Alexander's parents divorced, he quarreled and did not communicate with his father for a long time, and there were bad relations with his mother.
Career
After school, Stepanov entered the contract department at the Institute of International Relations. To pay for tuition, he had to earn extra money after classes, so there was simply no time left for his favorite hobby. Soon this situation began to strain Alexander, and he preferred music to study, which he later did not regret for a second. Having taken the documents from the university, he immediately plunged headlong into creativity. 
In 2006, the young musician was offered his cooperation at that time by the already well-known Sergey Parkhomenko (rapper Seryoga). Under his production label KingRing, Alexander became a frequenter of music parties and festivals, the owner of prestigious prizes and awards. In 2008, he took part in the show of the MUZ-TV channel "BiTVa for Respect", where he lost to MC Antu with a minimum margin.
At the same time, ST began collaborating with another label, Phlatline, under whose auspices he recorded his first solo album, One Hundred Out of a Hundred, which included 19 tracks, and began touring extensively. Guf, Basta, L`One expressed their desire to record joint tracks with a young promising performer.
Clip ST "Rap is not stamped"
Soon, his second solo album "The 100th One" was released, which was greeted by fans with even greater enthusiasm than the first. In his support, the rapper shot several video clips, the most famous of which were "Peter-Moscow" and "Girl from the Periphery". The latter was filmed with the participation of Sarik Andreasyan, director of the films "Mugs" and "Defenders".
In 2012, the single "Rap'N'Roll" was released, which was the result of a collaboration with Invisible Management. The next single "I'm going to the bottom", like the video for it, made a splash in the rap community.
Linda and ST - Marijuana
The track preceded the release of the third solo album - "Bulletproof". This time, the artist, famous for his "guest" tracks, was assisted by 5 other performers: Linda, the Semantic Hallucinations group, Katya Nova and rapper Guf. According to critics, the album came out "more depressing, darker, but this only benefited the work of ST."
In 2014, ST took part in the Versus Battle for the first time and immediately defeated the experienced St. Petersburg MC Garry Topor in the final. Two years later, he met in a duel with Oxxxymiron, but this time he lost to his opponent. “Moscow has long had a burry talent, and it’s not you,” Oksimiron said, hinting at ST’s speech impediment.
Collaborations with other artists
In 2016, the rapper wrote the song "Sea" for Yulianna Karaulova. 
In 2017, the musician began to actively collaborate with the Leningrad group, starred in two videos of the group, and takes part in their tours. At the beginning of the year, he recorded the song "Wings"! with Bianka, and on the eve of the release of the film "Defenders", together with Elena Temnikova, he starred in the video for the song "Crazy Russian".
Elena Temnikova ft. ST - Crazy Russian
The brutal rapper does not hide the fact that he is the author of the song "Few Halves", which he wrote specifically for
On the Versus Battle website, Alexander Stepanov, aka ST, is named the brightest and most romantic representative of rap in Russia.
Childhood and youth
Alexander was born in Moscow in September 1988 in the family of a military sailor. The first years of the biography developed like ordinary boys. At school, I wanted to become a musketeer, impressed by a film with the participation, then a teacher of the Russian language, I liked poetry. He himself began to write as a teenager, and then decided that it was more interesting to convey poetry through music.
Alexander's grandfather, Igor Mikhailovich Tuzhilkin, who fought on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War, put words into rhyme. Stepanov found out about this when he was collecting information for the MUZ-TV project for Victory Day. ST dedicated the song "Life without War" to all the winners.
Stepanov calls his guides in the world of rap and. At the age of 15, Sasha gathered a group with classmates and began recording songs.
ST song "Life Without War"After graduating from school, Alexander entered the Institute of International Relations, and since he had to pay for his studies, he worked part-time, but did not give up music. When the father offered to pay for education, on the condition that the son “stop doing nonsense,” everything became clear to the future rapper. Stepanov left the institute and quit his job.
There are several opinions about the meaning of the stage name ST. According to some sources, these are just the first letters of the surname. Others mention some kind of accident in which the musician miraculously survived, and as if since then the pseudonym is an abbreviation for the word saint (holy).
Music
The "black boomer" had a hand in Alexander's promotion to the musical Olympus. His label KingRing popularized ST's music through clubs and various festivals. However, the rapper released his first album, One Hundred Out of a Hundred, with the help of the Flatline agency. The first video was filmed for the track "BEEF" from this album.
In 2011, Stepanov also left Phlatline, the reasons for the separation were not explained. The last joint work of managers and a musician is the album "Na100ashchiy". Music for all 17 tracks was written by Igor Pustelnik Nel.
After the release of the 4th album "Pocherk" Alexander together with Adidas decided to found the project #superPOCHI. Aspiring poets who do not have the opportunity to publish can send their compositions to groups on VKontakte and Instagram. Then the authors are invited to perform at the Joys Bar, which is open to everyone.
The only condition is that the poems must be your own, and the reading must be recorded on video. And everything is free, without restrictions and censorship. If one of the authors manages to publish a book, presentations also take place in the Joys Bar.
Song ST and Bianchi "Wings"On the track "Wings" from this album, performed together with the popular R'n'B singer, Alexander shot a video. "Okoloshowbiz" and "Phoenix" were released as separate singles, both songs were accompanied by a video sequence.
In June 2016, the battle between ST and. In addition to the heat and tension within the battle itself, which Miron managed to extinguish, the meeting attracted a considerable audience because the video was unavailable on Youtube for several months. The blocking, according to unconfirmed information, occurred allegedly due to an advertisement of an illegal bookmaker's office shown in the video.
The song "C.P.H." performed by ST, the Leningrad group and Florida ChanturiaHowever, the issue, apparently, was resolved, since for Versus the recording of the meeting between the two rappers became the most viewed - by May 2018, the number of viewers exceeded 21 million.
Song ST and Elena Temnikova "Crazy Russian"The frontman impressed ST with the fact that he plays all musical instruments and is very demanding of all the members of the collaboration.
Another fruit of joint efforts, this time with, the song "Crazy Russian" sounded in the fantastic blockbuster "Defenders" about people with supernatural powers.
Personal life
In 2015, Alexander married a native of Tver, Assol Vasilyeva. The rapper said that for the first time he saw a photo of a beautiful girl in an advertising booklet. It was not difficult to get acquainted - ST was familiar with Assol's sister, Alice.
Vasilyeva did not know who ST was, did not listen to songs and was not very interested in this culture, although there was a relative nearby - hip-hoper Dima 5 Plyukh. But the guy won the heart of his beloved with his actions.
The beauty heard many declarations of love and yet remained impregnable, which conquered Alexander. And Assol liked the musician because his words did not disagree with the deed. Young people see the secret of family happiness in the fact that every minute they want to be together.
For a short life together, Assol and Alexander never rested together, and beautiful photos and posts in "Instagram"- just the result of the work. Vasilyeva accompanies her husband on tour as a manager. It is difficult for a rapper to work with his wife. According to ST, the wife is very straightforward, on stage and behind the scenes she addresses him strictly in a working way, and he does not allow himself to respond in the same way.
Assol is a fairly popular person herself. In the modeling business, she is valued for her resemblance to. Before meeting Sasha, she participated in a TV show, worked as a presenter, collaborated with the Geometry portal. After moving to Moscow, she met Yulia Kolyadina, the producer of the World Fashion channel, and after Yulia went on maternity leave, she began to lead her projects.
ST and "Russian Jolie" are often filmed together for glossy publications. The owner of high (185 cm) height and fashionable light unshaven looks good not only in a rapper's outfit, but also in classic suits.
ST enjoys the greatest respect among his colleagues, he also likes the work of the Marselle group. From Western artists, the rapper listens to Nas, and Pusha T.
ST now
Alexander is the author of the song "Few Halves", which he performs. According to the musician, this step was prompted by the story of Olya's separation from her husband, a football player. ST considers the TV presenter an interesting person, and first of all, a fragile, vulnerable woman. And the rapper, like a man, was hurt by the inappropriate behavior of yesterday's "friends" of Buzova, who attacked her with condemnation and ridicule.
Further collaboration between Stepanov and Buzova is being discussed, but most likely, ST will not give songs, as happened with Few Halfs.
At the end of 2017, the rapper released the Q2ZA clothing line, developed together with his wife Assol, which he announced at a concert in a Moscow club. ST was supported by Alexander Streltsov and Mojito group, 5 Plyukh and Pizza, IKA and Dino with their performances. With Alexander sang the song "Sea".
Song ST and Yulianna Karaulova "Sea"The same evening, the musician announced the opening of his own label Istoria music. The company took up the promotion of young followers of rap and rock, but, according to the owner, is not going to be limited in the genre. Rapper Aikyu released an album on the label, a collaboration with ST called “We don’t see them” got into the rotation of MUZ-TV, TNT MUSIC and RU.TV. On the Youtube channel in the format of a series, videos of another of Alexander's wards - NoFun Band - are posted.
The song "Zhu-zhu" performed by ST, the group "Leningrad" and GlucoseIn an interview with the TNT channel, the rapper complained about the lack of time and specialists, and therefore he is waiting for concert directors, PR managers who are ready to promote the work of the young to his team.
In May 2018, ST took part in a collaboration with Leningrad and. As a result, a cartoon video for the track "Zhu-zhu" appeared. He shot a video, the creator of "False Alarm" for the Canadian rapper The Weeknd and the fantastic action movie "Hardcore" with and.
