EPT Group Biography

They are from 26 to 30 years old. Each of them is convicted of drug sales and is serving a sentence in a maximum security colony. Together, four prisoners-rap group E. This abbreviation adopted in the FSIN is deciphered as a “single-type premises”-in other words, a prison in the colony. Oleg recalls that he met Kai in a musical circle at the colony, where "some obscure grandfathers constantly sing chanson." We began to do something similar to rap under the guitar, the keyboard synthesizer.

Then Michael appeared and the last - Yaroslav. We all live on different huts, that is, we have grown together by accident in the camp, ”he says. I think this is our goal, that everyone is in its place. I am so belonging to my term - I went to jail for this, just in order to do what we do here and now, ”adds Mikhail. As the convicts explain, although rehearsals are held on the basis of a musical circle, the colony administration does not know that the participants of E.

There are practically no equipment in the colony, only guitars, so we agreed, knocked out for a long time, each brought something of their own. In general, I wanted to make a studio for a long time - at one time I bought a microphone, a remote control, headphones, a sound card, all this was at home, but here it came in handy. But we cannot allow some things here: we do not even have monitors, so we have to reload a bunch of times when recording a track, run throughout the camp - who has such columns, whoever, let's listen here, come on here.

And how is it here? I hear and pretend in my head: "Ah, I’ll go this frequency." In short, this is a titanic work, ”Mikhail explains. The most difficult thing was to get a computer-the employees of the FSIN themselves provide the musicians by ignorance, so they “have to do it very quickly and without Palev” each entry, according to the convicts, they devote all their free time at the underground “studio”, but often it will stop for reasons that are not interested in the colony of commissions or the vaulting of one of the group members in the Black Sea Fleet.

At the same time, they say, even cellmates do not know about the group. Because here, in this system, representatives of the administration are very fond of that you have a desire for something, or impose their own, which very strongly spoils the psyche and perception of the outside world as a whole. They will not let us do this, ”Kai explains. In September, E.

In continuation of this concept, the second album will be called the "Rush". In the next album, in contrast to “unity”, there will be no solo tracks, there will be only joint ones, ”says Misha. The album will be released this winter. In anticipation of the release of Mediazon, the monologues of the group members recorded. There are three of us in the family. Then we moved out of town, my father died, I was 10 years old, my mother had to work hard.

She tried to pull out her family. My brother, it turns out, was raised by a sister, and I was left to myself. It grew ... well, it turned out that on the street we traded with all sorts of hijacking, robbery, in short, according to the little things - all garbage. There, accordingly, alcohol, drugs appeared, there is already a needle ... Well, at some point I realized that it is impossible, that this could not continue further.

He studied average, did not study at all, so. Somewhere at the age of 17, I threw heavy drugs and did not smoke cigarettes. He smoked grass and drank more. Then my girlfriend appeared, very approximate, and she seemed to have pulled me out of drugs. I fought for me for a whole year. I quit crime. But there was no money, it was necessary to somehow develop further. And then music has already appeared, I began to engage in rap.

We tried to record there, at home, well, as usual-on a microphone on a simple one. By the age of 19, I was again on the fact that it was necessary to make money somehow, the same studio-this is a lot worth it. At that time, there were not many of them as now: well, it wasn’t such that he bought a microphone, put there, and that's it, [write]. Then friends-acquaintances said-come on to us.

They were already engaged in drugs. And I was always good with mathematics, and they called me just as an accountant, so that I would establish a waste of money, where it would go, otherwise they settled in debt. I agreed, in two weeks they paid off all the debts, and they went into a plus. And somehow it went that it spun further ... We started four, then someone left for our reasons, then the quarrels began because of the money, and in the end we were left alone, and then we planted one, and I was generally alone.

I had a large, large network, and I controlled about the fifth of the whole city. I never torn to this, just stupidly to pay for your work. I always dreamed of making music, I wanted to contribute to it. Somehow I could not live without it. As follows from the sentence, trade was conducted through ICQ and Kiwi-Bank. Having developed a plan, the accomplices bought almost grams of heroin and began to store them in a rented apartment for the purpose of illegal sales.

Then, the verdict says, Misha packaged 14 grams of heroin into polymer bundles and instructed to make caches, but the heater was detained.As a result, the musician was found guilty under part 3 of Article 30, paragraphs “A”, “G” of part 4 of article until he has left for half the deadline. And it turned out that at the moment when I started, I promised myself that it would be only in order to pay for my work.

Well, that’s all, and then we grew up in terms of creativity, they offered me different contracts, but I was such a true rapper, believed that it was wrong to sign contracts and engage in some kind of poppyatina.

And as a result, one day I was twisted when I was already at the peak, and I was about to move to Moscow, to do it all. That is, the audience has already gathered, normally parted in Russia. At that time, I entered into a contract and was an artist of one of the best studios in the city. But it so happened that in the end they imprisoned me, said that there was surveillance ...

[On] The first court when I went, I met my accomplice - that is, they attributed to me [him], although I did not know him at all. They blinded us the case, caught me in storage, and so they were tuned - they hung distribution. I do not hide, I seemed to do this, but it was more surprised that our law enforcement agencies even began to prove anything! That is, they tried to hang up some left money, firms, laundering, other garbage, and the person [turned out to be my accomplice], I do not know him simply, seriously, [despite the fact that I was really engaged in distribution, but with another accomplice].

Well, that’s all, at first we have one article - he was given even more, because he was generally refused. And I looked at all the practice, how people are suing, and I realized that if I still have a blouse, they would give me even more. I say: “God be with him, I agree, give me less, I went, I don’t see any point in this.” In general, we have sued for a long time, for almost two years.

And then, already at the highest instance, we were a little softened by the article, because it was true, well, there was no evidence, and that would be stupid. Well, they gave less. A little more, and I will sit my deadline. The accomplice was given more, because he still did not confess, he said: "I am not in business, I do not know what it is about." Kai I grew up at the beginning of x.

It began, probably, like everyone else-I, as an independent child, did not want to take money from my mother or something else, I saw when all sorts of concerns about me were taking place and understood that the amount of money in the family was not very enough. And since he himself from the north-from the north, the guys are very harsh-I decided to earn somehow on their own.

Squares, constant fights, gop-stop with the guys, were welcomed, in principle, any earnings, mainly theft and a cups. Time is changing, at the age of 14 I absolutely stopped needing at all in some kind of or material assistance from my parents and began to live independently. At that time, I already had almost the first wife. He married the first time at 15 years, then I had a son, there was an independent apartment.

Kai made two episodes of an attempt on “illegal sale of a drug with a group of persons by prior conspiracy in an especially large scale” the events that are discussed in sentences are not dated at the request of the group members. Kaya was detained during the “control purchase” - the operative acquired half a gram of hash; Subsequently, another episode was added to the charges, according to which the acquaintance of Kai, who entered into a criminal conspiracy, made a bookmark with a smoking mixture, and the future musician himself informed her whereabouts to the buyer.

As a result, he was found guilty under Part 3 of Article 30, paragraph “G” of part 3 of article, most of the term Kai has already left. How was it tied to the main crime, and specifically with drug trafficking? I met the gypsies in the gypsy village. And at that time I found out what grass is. I understood a small difference between a glass and a box, when a glass cost a mow, and a box - rubles, and in one glass of about 10 boxes.

That is, here you do not need to be a genius to understand the difference - how much you can earn. It all began to slowly, the little shape, everything dragged on: he reached for the elders, to the boys more serious, he was engaged in an hourly delivery of prostitutes, and traded a small amount of weapons at one time. Then the company broke up, who was closed, who left ... It did not stop me.

That is, the thirst for profit all the way constantly pursued me. And for a long time they already told me: "The prison is crying for you." But how would the prison cry for whom? For fools. I leave Peter, return there to my north. He served on a contract in the army, wanted to remain for military operations. Military operations did not take place, for which for some reason I was very much eager for, sought, and, disappointed in our state, I terminate the contract and return home.
