Misha Krupin is a bright representative of the Ukrainian rap school. He recorded compositions with such stars as Guf and Smokey Mo. Krupin's tracks were sung by Bogdan Titomir. In 2019, the singer released an album and a hit that claimed to be the singer's calling card.
Childhood and youth of Misha Krupin
Despite the fact that Krupin is a media personality, information about childhood and youth is unknown. It seems that more information can be found on the singer's Twitter, where he posts provocative posts daily.
Mikhail was born on May 4, 1981 on the territory of Kharkov. By nationality, Krupin is a Jew, about which he repeatedly wrote on Twitter. Misha began to get involved in music at an early age.
During his school years, Krupin sang "for sweets." Misha went to the confectionery store and sang his favorite songs, for which he was given sweets.
The boy attended a music school in the violin class, and then a music school. Krupin's taste in music has evolved over time. Initially, the guy "hung" on rock, and even dreamed of his own group.
At the music school, the young man met like-minded people - Kostya "Kotya" Zhuikov, Dilya (the TNMK team) and Black (the Killed by Rap group, now U.er.Askvad).
The first musical projects of Misha Krupin
Soon, Krupin's musical tastes changed. Mikhail took up rapping, and even created his own group "Uncle Vasya". But the initial source that aroused interest in this musical direction, Krupin calls the Outlaw group and the Indahouse festival.
Black even gave Krupin his first nickname Fog. Mikhail did not understand anything in rap, so the singer decided to honor him with such a nickname. Then Black and Zhuykov helped in recording the first tracks, as well as in organizing concerts.
A little later, Mikhail became the founder of a new project. We are talking about the cddtribe group. The team was replaced by the aforementioned Uncle Vasya project. The guys noticed. Their track hit the 1st position of the Ukrainian hit parades. The song "Old" was named the hit of the year.
At the same time, Krupin tried to open his own recording studio. Things got worse as the young man got tired of being torn between performances and the studio.
These were not the easiest times in Krupin's life. He was torn between Kiev and Kharkov to get money for his family. In 2006, Mikhail again visited Kyiv to sell the new album "Uncle Vasya".
Unexpectedly, the rapper got to the Smokey Mo concert. After the performance, Krupin asked to return $50 to Smokey, which he borrowed from him several years ago. These $50 Krupin called "lucky". After them, the performer seemed to be “reanimated”.
In the personal biography of Mikhail there is a topic of drugs. The performer does not hide the fact that he was sitting on heavy drugs for a long time. He managed to get out of the loop. Today, Krupin can only afford a harmless vape.

Anna Sedokova in 2013 added questions to the artist's personal life. The star made a serious statement about the upcoming marriage with Mikhail. The musicians even managed to release a joint album.
