Krechet is a Ukrainian rap artist who hides his face, emphasizing that the audience should be interested in music. He gained attention after collaborating with Alina Pash. The clip of the artists "Food" - literally "blew up" Ukrainian YouTube.
The anonymity of Krechet definitely fuels the interest of the public. I want to take off the mask and get to know him better. But the rapper keeps his distance, adding fuel to the fire.
By 2021, the artist managed to release several successful musical works and give a detailed interview to the Ukrainian portal (albeit through a personal manager) dedicated to "street music".
The meme “I know who Krechet is” is already circulating among the anonymous fans. But, in fact, the rapper is not ready to show his face. Any "personal" interviews can really be called personal in brackets. Krechet is negotiating through the manager.
“A person's personality is a created mask through which we interact with the outside world. Someone is lucky, because his mask sees no limits, which means he can afford anything. But, often our personality masks are still limited by settings, originally from childhood. We are unable to reset or change the settings. There is only one thing left - to survive, being in the cages of their masks, ”says the rapper.
Information about the Krechet project
Nothing is known about the childhood and youth years of the rap artist for this period of time (2021). He becomes an absolute mystery to his fans. For any questions regarding initials, date and place of birth - silence.
Krechet appeared on the Ukrainian stage in 2020. In just a few months, he managed to turn into the top rap artist in Ukraine. It's not just that he is "no-name" and appears in a mask. He makes really good music that you want to put on "repeat".
The convincingly built sound definitely catches the ears and makes you enjoy the creativity of the mysterious anonymous. Rumor has it that Krechet has considerable experience in creating rap compositions.
Regarding the creative pseudonym. As it turned out, for some time Falco rusticolus lived at the artist’s house, or in simple words Gyrfalcon (a bird from the falconiformes order). The rapper did not take into account the fact that it is difficult to take care of a wild bird at home. He not only needed to be fed with fresh meat, but also from time to time, released to “stretch his wings”. As a result, Gyrfalcon's pet died. The rapper also noted that Krechet is a subpersonality that is present in him.
Why did Krechet choose the path of "anonymous" for himself?
Regarding why the artist chose the path of "anonymous" for himself, his manager tried to explain the position of the rapper. He said that basically all the stars create an image, even if they show a face. According to Krechet, not a single artist on stage shows his true self. Thus, Krechet is nothing more than an incognito who shows his face.
If we take into account the question: whether such a scheme works or does not work, everything is simple. Gyrfalcon is now well-known, journalists of youth publications are trying to declassify his identity, the rapper's tracks cause a stir among fans. I want to “print” it, crack it open and apply the words “classic”, which have already become a quote: “It's scary, very scary. We don't know what it is. If we knew what it is, we don't know what it is..."
Note that not only Krechet is working on the project. He is assisted by a person who is fully responsible for the visual, as well as a manager. The guys “sang together” cool, because each work is a “rocket-bomb”.
As a rap artist, Krechet started in 2020. Prior to that, he wrote lyrics and music. By the way, he is still doing this. The rapper says that he writes to order, but clarifies that this is not the most budgetary service. The artist says that he already had experience of cooperation with singers, but refuses to specify the names.
The creative path of rapper Krechet
He presented the first tracks in 2020. The debut release was the composition "Doves". At the end of August, his discography was replenished with a full-length album. We are talking about the disc “Pishnist”.
The LP itself is a "delicious" mix in which satirical and lyrical tracks are organically placed. “My music does not cry out to be some kind of action, not a protest and not a ponty with bad self-praise. For me, it is important to give people mood and pump it up, ”Krechet comments on the compositions of the debut album.
And the artist also loves to raffle other representatives of the rap industry. Once, under his post, he received a compliment from the label page of rapper Alyona Alyona. Krechet replied tartly, subtly hinting that the rap artist is a little behind in music, and her signatories, the Kalush group, release few long plays.
The productivity of Krechet can only be envied. By the end of 2021, he managed to release 5 unrealistically cool works (long-plays and mini-LPs). Not without the release of clips and singles.
His talent is noted at the highest level. In 2021, he was awarded the following awards:
- international music video underground
- Oniros Film Awards New York
- RED Movie Awards
- MUZVAR Independent Music Award
- Rap.ua Awards
