Triagrutrika is a Russian rap group from Chelyabinsk. Until 2016, the group was part of the Gazgolder Creative Association. Team members explain the birth of the name of their offspring as follows:
“The guys and I decided to give the team an unusual name. We took a word that is not in any dictionary. If you had entered the word "Triagrutrika" in 2004, then the query would not have shown a single result ... ".
History of creation and composition of the group
It all started in 2004. It was then that 5 guys who breathed rap culture decided to create their own project. They were inspired by creativity 2pac and singers from the Wu-Tang Clan. Thus, the team included:
- Eugene Wiebe;
- Nikita Skolyukhin;
- Artem Averin;
- Mikhail Aniskin;
- Dmitry Nakidonsky.
As mentioned above, while looking for a suitable name for their offspring, the guys realized that they wanted to give the group a name that no one had ever heard before. This is how Triagrutrika was born. Today there are many guesses why the rappers called the team "TGC", but none of them, according to the "fathers" of the group, has anything to do with the truth.
The guys were given to their project. Perhaps that is why the composition has not changed much. Today there are 4 people in the team. The group left Dmitry Nakidonsky. Now he performs with OU74.
The creative path and music of the Triagrutrika collective
Despite the fact that the line-up was formed back in 2004, the guys were “silent” for a long time, languishing in anticipation of their fans. They presented their first studio album only in 2008. We are talking about the longplay "Unlegalized". The record was topped by 20 tracks. The songs "To Vanya's Quarter", "Brothers from the Street" and "Difficult Work" brought great success to rappers.
On the wave of popularity and recognition, the singers sat down in a recording studio to create another mixtape. The album Be a Nigga consisted of 17 tracks. She was warmly received by both fans and music critics.
Some participants did not forget about solo projects. So, in this period of time, Averin replenishes his discography with two collections. We are talking about the mixtapes "Half a Stone" and "Muddy Times".
The peak of popularity overtook rappers in 2010. It was then that the team presented the second longplay, which was called "Evening Chelyabinsk". The collection was topped by 15 worthy tracks. Clips were presented for some of the compositions.
It should be noted that before the release of the LP, the team released the collection "Old-New", and Evgeny replenished his solo discography with the disc "Katirovatsya".
Contract with the label "Gazgolder"
The second album marked a completely new stage in the life of rappers. They signed a contract with one of the biggest labels. The guys became part of the "Gazgolder". After that, rappers begin to travel around the country with their concert program, record new tracks and shoot bright videos.
During this period of time, they release the releases "Blue Smoke", "My Favorite Album", 8 bit, as well as the third studio album "TGKlipsis". The new LP was literally stuffed with XNUMX% hits. Fans noted the improvement in the sound of the compositions, but at the same time, the rappers did not change their original style.
After a great debut on a new label, the guys are taking a short break. During this period of time, the presentation of Averin's LP "Heavyweight" took place. The record was topped by 22 tracks. The compositions that led the disc had a psychological connotation. After listening to the tracks, the person had ground for philosophical reasoning.
The following year, the team took part in the filming of the film "Gasholder: The Movie". Then Averin released a couple more solo albums. We are talking about the records "Basing", "Calm" and "Outback". In 2015, another member of the group, Evgeny Vibe, presented a collection with a simple and understandable name for everyone - EP 2015.
In 2016, the discography of two Russian rap groups at once became richer by one longplay. "Triagrutrika" and "AK-47"presented to fans of their work a joint project called" TGC AK-47 ". The rappers expected a warmer reception than they received in the end result. Fans agreed that the groups stopped developing, and as a result, the sound of the compositions became an order of magnitude worse.
In 2016, Triagrutrika's contract with Vasily Vakulenko's label ended. But this does not interfere with the rap team and today is on the list of label artists. The members of the group and the organizer of the label, Basta, are on friendly terms. Actually this explains the little misunderstanding. Despite this, the artists are their own "owners", so they are now engaged in the promotion of the group on their own.
