Anacondaz is a Russian band that works in the style of alternative rap and rapcore. The musicians refer their tracks to the pauzern rap style.
The group began to form in the early 2000s, but the official year of foundation was 2009.
The composition of the Anacondaz group
Attempts to create a group of inspired musicians appeared in 2003. These attempts were unsuccessful, but they gave the guys invaluable experience.
Only in 2009, the first composition of the team was formed. After the approved line-up, the guys immediately started recording their debut album "Savory Nishtyaki".
The first composition of the Anacondaz group included: vocalists Artem Khorev and Sergey Karamushkin, guitarist Ilya Pogrebnyak, bass player Evgeny Formanenko, keyboard player Zhanna Der, drummer Alexander Cherkasov and beatmaker Timur Yesetov. Until 2020, the composition has changed.
After the release of the mini-collection "Evolution", the keyboard player Zhanna left the group. A few years later, Alexander Cherkasov followed the girl.
In 2014, Cherkasov's place in the Anacondaz group was taken by temporary drummer Vladimir Zinoviev. Since 2015, Alexey Nazarchuk (Proff) began to work as a drummer in the team on a permanent basis.
The soloists of the group did not solve organizational issues on their own. This responsibility fell on the shoulders of Asya Zorina, the manager of the Invisible Management label.
The girl was engaged in compiling and organizing the performances of the group, and also "promoted" the new tracks of the Anacondaz group.
Music by Anacondaz
The group presented their first album in 2009. The collection was called "Savory nishtyaki". The collection includes 11 tracks.
"Five Fingers" became the most popular composition of the first album, thanks to it the Anacondaz group was very popular.
After the presentation of the album "Savory nishtyaki", the soloists of the band thought about relocation. The musicians understood that the group would not succeed in Astrakhan, so they unanimously decided to move to the very heart of the Russian Federation - Moscow.
At one of the night parties, the soloists met Ivan Alekseev, who is known to the general public as the rapper Noize MC. The guys sang together. Soon they presented a joint composition "Fuck * ists".
There was a calm for several years. In 2011, the band released a worthy mini-album "Evolution". In this collection, the musicians managed to embody all the impressions that they had accumulated after moving from Astrakhan to Moscow.
4 out of 5 tracks were at the top of popularity. We recommend listening to such songs as: "69", "Evolution", "I'll sit at home" and "Everybody is fucked up".
It is impossible not to note the work of the group's vocalist Sergei Karamushkin. The young man tried his hand at the online battle site Hip-Hop.ru. In 2011, the first video clip "69" was released. The director of the work was Ruslan Pelykh.
First album
Only in 2012 did the Anacondaz band release their first full-length album, Children and the Rainbow. In 2013, the band's soloists decided to re-release the disc. In the first version, there were 13 tracks, and in the second, there were 2 more tracks.
The top tracks of the album "Children and the Rainbow" were the songs: "Lethal Weapon", "Belyashi" and "All the Year Round". Video clips were shot for the last two tracks and for the song "Seven Billion" (from the next collection) in 2013. The director of the works was Alexander Makov.
The Russian team decided to prove themselves on the project "Promotion of R'n'B and Hip-Hop". Thanks to participation in the project, the team won. As a result, the win led to rotation on domestic music channels.
In 2014, the band's discography was replenished with a new album, which was called "No Panic". Most of the tracks were written under the influence of reading the novel by Douglas Adams "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
The collection was favorably received by fans and music lovers. In particular, the following compositions received considerable attention: "Seven Billion", "Shark Doesn't Care", "The Sea Worries" and "Member".
The video clip for the last song was shot by Ilya Prusikin and Alina Pyazok, representatives of the Russian band Little Big.
In the wake of the peak of popularity, the Anacondaz group presented the next album, Insider Tales, to fans. The collection includes 15 tracks. In this album, the soloists included such hits as: “Mom, I love”, “Chicks, cars”, “Infuriates” and “Not mine”.
There were no video clips. The guys presented bright video clips for 6 tracks. 2015 was a productive year for the group.
Popularity decline
However, productivity declined in 2016. The guys gave concerts. Of the new products, they only released a video clip for the composition “Mom, I love” and “Trains”. The second video was filmed for a track from the next record.
In 2017, the band's discography was replenished with the fifth full-length disc. It's about the "Marry Me" collection. The album was topped by 12 tracks.

The musicians presented video clips for three compositions. In addition, the soloists of the group took part in the filming of clips - “Two” and “I Hate”. In one of the listed works, the musicians were invited as guests.
Cooperation
The Anacondaz group very often worked in interesting collaborations with other representatives of the Russian stage. In particular, the musicians released tracks with rappers Pencil and Noize MC, as well as with Animal Jazz bands, "Cockroaches!" and "Leather Deer".
