Big Russian Boss, aka Igor Lavrov, is a Russian rapper from Samara. In addition to rapping, Big Russian Boss is known to fans as a showman and YouTube host.
His author's show, which he called the Big Russian Boss Show, abbreviated as BRB Show. Igor gained popularity thanks to his extraordinary and provocative image.
Childhood and youth
Igor was born in Samara in 1991, but some sources claim that sunny Alma-Ata (new name Nursultan) may be the birthplace.
Despite the fact that Big Russian Boss is a rather public person, there is practically no information about Lavrov's childhood and youth.
From the words of the showman himself, only one thing can be understood - his parents had nothing to do with show business and the stage.
Against the backdrop of common interests in rap, during his school years, Igor met Stas Konchenkov (young P&H in the future).
Common interests in music became the beginning of their friendship. Soon, young people began to record the first musical compositions.
Igor and Stanislav found their first admirers in the person of Samara youth. The most vile song, according to Igor, was uploaded to the Internet and was liked by hip-hop fans.
The musical composition literally began to be disassembled into quotes by users of social networks. Young performers received the first portion of popularity.
Big Russian Boss in his interviews said that he had two higher economic educations behind him.
The young man even managed to work by profession in one of the local banks in the city of Samara. True, the bank soon lost its license, and Igor himself lost his job.
Lavrov interpreted this event not as a tragedy, but as a chance to do what he loves. Yes, we are talking about the first serious attempts of a young man to penetrate the Russian hip-hop industry.
The beginning of the creative career of Big Russian Boss
Little-known rappers from Samara decided to change their old names Lowrydr (Lavrov) and SlippahNeSpi (Konchenkov) to the now famous Big Russian Boss and Pimp (Young P&H).
There was also a change in image. It was the appearance of the guys that initially became the very “bait” that made Igor Lavrov a real star.
Igor Lavrov, whose height is almost 2 meters, put on a fake black beard. Plus, the young man hung on himself a huge amount of "golden" accessories - chains, rings, bracelets.
His head was decorated with a crown, which he placed on his head, covered with the likeness of an Arab keffiyeh. By the way, the rapper did not come up with this image for himself, but borrowed Rick Ross and Lil John from foreign colleagues.
The outrageous appearance of Big Russian Boss began to excite the hearts of young people. In addition, the rapper had an original manner of presenting musical compositions.
To the appearance, Igor came up with a biography.
