Russian rapper David Nuriev, who is known to the public as Ptakha or Bore, is a former member of the musical groups Les Miserables and the Center.
The musical compositions of Birds are fascinating. The rapper managed to put top-level modern poetry into his songs.
Childhood and youth of David Nuriyev
David Nuriev was born in 1981. At the age of 9, the young man left sunny Azerbaijan with his family and moved to Moscow.
This event did not happen by the will of the Nurievs. The fact is that at that time the Karabakh conflict flared up.
Later, the rapper will dedicate a musical composition to this event, called "Rubies".
From the biography of the rapper, it becomes clear that David has shown interest in hip-hop from a young age.
In his teenage years, he writes lyrics. The young man was inspired to write songs by American films about gangsters.
Few people know, but the first stage name of David Nureyev appeared after the release of Jeff Pollack's film "Above the Ring".
David's friends noticed that Nuriev is very similar in behavior to the main character of Tupac Shakur - Ptashka, so his acquaintances gave him the nickname Ptah.
Actually, then Daviv Nuriyev took this nickname as a stage name.
Films, in which mainly directors showed showdowns, parties and corrupt girls, incorrectly formed David's idea of \uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbgood and evil.
Nureyev himself said that in his youth he was still that bully.
David said that he often skipped classes, did not appear at school, and he preferred parties and hangouts in local clubs to gatherings at home.
It is not known how the story with the hooligan David Nureyev would have ended if he had not met the young rappers Bury and Screw in the mid-90s.
Actually, the love of rap became the main reason that “forced” the guys to organize the BJD musical group. After MC Zver joined the musicians, the soloists of the musical group changed their name to Outcasts.
For 5 years, Nureyev was part of the Les Misérables.
In early 2001, the musical group presented the album "Archive". Despite the fact that the guys released the disc in a small circulation, the album made a splash among fans of underground rap.
After the presentation of the album, David Nuriev decided to leave the musical group.
A few years later, the Les Misérables will present a disc called "13 Warriors". In the chorus of the song "Happiness" the voice of Ptakha is clearly heard.
Many thought that Bird had returned. However, then there was information that the track was recorded before the departure of David Nuriev.
The creative path of rapper Ptakhi
Bird did not just leave the musical group Les Misérables. After leaving, the rapper began to record solo songs closely.
In 2006, Rezo Gigineishvili made an offer to David, starring in the film "Heat". In the film, the rapper played one of the main characters, and together with the groups Center, Vip777 and rapper Timati wrote several soundtracks for the film.
A year later, the rapper presents his first solo album, called "Trace of the Void". The main hits of the disc were the tracks "Thoughts", "Cat", "Autumn", "Genocide", "They", "What We Can Do", "Legends" and "Not Too Late".
The album did not hit the shelves of music stores. The reasons are unknown. However, the album went through the hands of Ptah's close friends.
In addition, David Nuriev participated in the recording of Guf's musical compositions ("Hop-Hlop", "Muddy Muddy") and "Idefix" ("Buy", "Childhood").
At the same time, the Russian rapper took part in the hip-hop project of Guf, Slim and Princip - Center.
In 2007, Ptakha, being a member of the Center, presents the disc "Swing". The album makes a positive impression on music lovers. The songs "Heat 77", "Near the Club", "Iron Sky", "Winter", "Nurses", "Slides" and "City of Roads" especially "warmed" the ears of music lovers.
A year later, Ptah, together with Slim, recorded a collaboration called "About Love". In the track, the rappers touched the feelings of Russian performers Drago, Steam and Seryoga.
The rappers explained their behavior by the fact that they were tired of hearing insults from the performers towards Basta, Noise and Casta and that their song is a kind of response to these villains.
Drago did not remain silent. He recorded a diss called "In the Center". Song, Drago, like a tank drove through the rappers and their audience.
At the end of 2008, the Center presents a studio album called "Ether is OK". A year later, Guf leaves the team. And Ptakha presented the listeners with another disc, called "About Nothing".
In addition, the rapper said that without Guf, there is no Center and Ptakhi group. The performer decides to change the stage name of Ptah to Bore.
In the summer of 2010, the presentation of the disc "Papirosy" took place. On several tracks from this album, Zanuda shoots video clips.
We are talking about the clips "Otkhodos", "On Treason", "Cigarettes", "Tangerines" and "Intro". The cover of the album depicts the collapse of the musical group Center.
In the same 2010, the video clip "Old Secrets" was released.
In the summer of 2011, the rapper presented the track "Nothing to Share", in the recording of which, in addition to representing CAO Records and Moscow Bore and Smoke, rappers 9 Grams, Gipsy King and Bugz, representing Bustazz Records and Yekaterinburg, participated.
In 2012, David presented the cover of the album "Old Secrets", which was released on December 21. In addition to the cover, the rapper surprised everyone with the presentation of the titles of the songs that were included in the record.
The rapper shot video clips for the musical compositions "Old Secrets", "I Will Not Forget", "Myth", "The First Word" and "My Basis". Charming Bianca took part in the recording of the song “Smoke into the Clouds”.

Rapper Bird now
In the spring of 2017, the rapper posted a video for the musical composition "Freedom 2.017" online. In this work, he spoke not entirely flattering about the participants in the March protest.
Later, Navalny will accuse the rapper of ordering this clip from him in the Kremlin.
After that, Nuriev published a post-refutation. The rapper assured that the Kremlin had nothing to do with his video.
