Anton Kirillovich Ionov, (February 21, Moscow, USSR - July 15, Moscow, Russia) - Russian rap artist, better known as MC Young or Tony P, former member of the rap group "P-13" and posthumous - F.Y.P.M. and Crisis Records.Biography
Increasing popularity: "P-13"
At the end of 2001, Legalize, one of the most iconic people in Russian rap, who participated in the groups Bad Balance, Bad B. Alliance, came to Prague. "Legal business$$", and was also a member of the underground group D.O.B.
Young and Danny B (Berezin) meet Legalize. As they say, their meeting was accidental, but fateful. A common interest, rap, was discovered at the first meeting. In the atmosphere of battle, the joint track “Without Apologies” is born. And after some time, the League is impressed by the demo version of the “Psychos” song “I know people ...” and, having managed to discern the “brilliance of a new star,” he offers to come up with a chorus for it. A lot of interesting material quickly accumulates on the computer, and a decision is made to record a full-length album. The new project receives a short and simple name - “P-13”. This is the thirteenth district of Prague, where the band members lived and grew up creatively in the neighborhood.
Having prepared the material, the guys go to the studio in Moscow, where Liga worked before leaving for Prague. The album is being released by the “freshly created” record label “Intelligent Hooligan Productions” under the patronage of the company “D&D Music”. At the studio, DJ Shooroop is finishing the processing and mixing of the thirteen songs that are included in the album. It was called “Provocation” in honor of the track of the same name, in which all words begin with the capital letter of the group’s name - “P”.
At this time, concerts begin in Russia. One of the first performances takes place, oddly enough, on Friday the thirteenth, at the DownTown club. Also, on Friday the thirteenth, one of the most powerful songs is mixed - “I know people...”, for which, after some time, a video is shot.
By the end of 2002, the album was almost ready for release, but due to unresolved legal issues, it remained gathering dust on the shelf for the next year. The group does not sit idle. The first truly major performance of the new project “Legalize and P-13” in Moscow was a concert in front of an audience of thousands at “Streetball”. Due to the unrest, their performance was postponed to the second day of the festival, and the guys had to share the stage with the pseudo-lesbian duo Tatu. Then there was a concert at the first festival “Our People”. According to eyewitnesses, it was an unforgettable show, where the “legal psychos” received a standing ovation from the audience, and during the song “I Know People...” the hall lit up with hundreds of lighters.
Numerous performances and the growing popularity of “P-13” in the Czech Republic and Slovakia were preceded by the release on April 18, 2003 of the largest rap collection in Eastern and Central Europe East Side Unia 3. The region's most significant compilation collects songs from the best bands from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Croatia, and Hungary.
Collection East Side Union for the third time it was released under the auspices of the same Orion, who in the 90s, having seen the performance of Psycho MC’s, foresaw that these guys would conquer the Czech Republic. Having encountered new tracks from the old “crazy”, the leader of “PSH” decided to present Russian rap for the first time at the “Eastern Union”. June 2, 2003 on independent label Terrorist? Records A vinyl version was released, which was also sold in Russia. This event entered “P-13” into the history of Russian rap as the first group whose tracks were released on vinyl.
The rap collection includes two compositions from “P-13”, which are among the best on the collection. We are talking about the most powerful hits, the hottest tracks “P-13” - “I know people ...” with production by Molodoy and “Prague Everyday Life” / “Locomotives, Wheels, Roads” from the Russian veteran - DJ L.A.
In September 2003, work on the video “I Know People...” was completed. A “clean” version of the song was made especially for the broadcast, and in October 2003 the video clip began to be rotated on MTV Russia.
At the end of 2003, the time came for the official release of the album “Provocation”. On December 13, the presentation of the long-awaited disc took place at the Arlekino entertainment complex with the participation of guests: “Casta”, “Yu.G. ", Decl aka Le Truk and others. On December 17, “Legalize and P-13” performed at the second “Our People” festival. This time the concert took place in the huge hall of the Luzhniki sports complex, where the “highlight of the program” was the legendary American group Onyx.
A few months after summing up the results of the “Hip-Hop.Ru Awards 2003”, official representatives announced that the project “Legalize and P-13” took first positions in two categories: “Best Album of the Year”, “Best Debut of the Year” and second position in nomination "Best Clip of the Year".
After a successful release in Russia, the group decides to release the album “Provocation” in the Czech Republic. On March 21, World Poetry Day, a CD with a new booklet in Czech will be released on the Maddrum Records label. A new stage begins in the work of “P-13”; the album is distributed in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Presentations take place in the largest cities of the Czech Republic: Prague, Brno and Pardubice.
Young immediately warns that “there is no need to ask much about the breakup of the group, it has little to do with rap.”

Excerpt characterizing MC Young
On the stage there were even boards in the middle, painted paintings depicting trees stood on the sides, and a canvas on boards was stretched behind. In the middle of the stage sat girls in red bodices and white skirts. One, very fat, in a white silk dress, sat separately on a low bench, to which green cardboard was glued to the back. They were all singing something. When they finished their song, the girl in white approached the prompter's booth, and a man in tight-fitting silk trousers on thick legs, with a feather and a dagger, approached her and began to sing and spread his arms.The man in tight trousers sang alone, then she sang. Then both fell silent, the music began to play, and the man began to finger the hand of the girl in a white dress, apparently again waiting for the beat to begin his part with her. They sang together, and everyone in the theater began to clap and shout, and the man and woman on stage, who were portraying lovers, began to bow, smiling and spreading their arms.
After the village and in the serious mood in which Natasha was, all this was wild and surprising to her. She could not follow the progress of the opera, could not even hear the music: she saw only painted cardboard and strangely dressed men and women, moving, speaking and singing strangely in the bright light; she knew what all this was supposed to represent, but it was all so pretentiously false and unnatural that she felt either ashamed of the actors or funny at them. She looked around her, at the faces of the spectators, looking for in them the same feeling of ridicule and bewilderment that was in her; but all the faces were attentive to what was happening on the stage and expressed feigned, as it seemed to Natasha, admiration. “This must be so necessary!” thought Natasha. She alternately looked back at those rows of pomaded heads in the stalls, then at the naked women in the boxes, especially at her neighbor Helen, who, completely undressed, with a quiet and calm smile, without taking her eyes off, looked at the stage, feeling the bright light poured throughout the hall and warm, crowd-warmed air. Natasha little by little began to reach a state of intoxication that she had not experienced for a long time. She didn’t remember what she was, where she was, or what was happening in front of her. She looked and thought, and the strangest thoughts suddenly, without connection, flashed through her head. Either the thought came to her to jump onto the ramp and sing the aria that the actress sang, then she wanted to hook the old man sitting not far from her with her fan, then she wanted to lean over to Helen and tickle her.
One minute, when everything was quiet on the stage, waiting for the start of the aria, the entrance door of the stalls creaked, on the side where the Rostovs’ box was, and the steps of a belated man sounded. “Here he is Kuragin!” Shinshin whispered. Countess Bezukhova turned to the newcomer, smiling. Natasha looked in the direction of Countess Bezukhova’s eyes and saw an unusually handsome adjutant, with a self-confident and at the same time courteous appearance approaching their bed. It was Anatol Kuragin, whom she had seen for a long time and noticed at the St. Petersburg ball. He was now in an adjutant uniform with one epaulette and a bracelet. He walked with a restrained, dashing gait, which would have been funny if he had not been so handsome and if there had not been such an expression of good-natured contentment and joy on his beautiful face. Despite the fact that the action was going on, he, slowly and slightly rattling his spurs and saber, smoothly and high holding his perfumed beautiful head, walked along the carpet of the corridor. Looking at Natasha, he walked up to his sister, put his gloved hand on the edge of her box, shook her head and leaned over and asked something, pointing at Natasha.
- Mais charmante! [Very sweet!] - he said, obviously about Natasha, as she not so much heard as understood from the movement of his lips. Then he walked to the front row and sat down next to Dolokhov, giving a friendly and casual elbow to Dolokhov, whom the others were treating so ingratiatingly. He smiled at him with a cheerful wink and rested his foot on the ramp.
– How similar brother and sister are! - said the count. - And how good they are both!
Shinshin began to tell the count in a low voice some story of Kuragin's intrigue in Moscow, to which Natasha listened precisely because he said charmante about it.
The first act ended, everyone in the stalls stood up, got confused and began to walk in and out.
Boris came to the Rostovs' box, very simply accepted congratulations and, raising his eyebrows, with an absent-minded smile, conveyed to Natasha and Sonya his bride's request that they be at her wedding, and left. Natasha talked to him with a cheerful and flirtatious smile and congratulated the same Boris with whom she had been in love before on his marriage. In the state of intoxication in which she was, everything seemed simple and natural.
Naked Helen sat next to her and smiled equally at everyone; and Natasha smiled at Boris in the same way.
Helen's box was filled and surrounded from the stalls by the most distinguished and intelligent men, who seemed to be vying to show everyone that they knew her.
Throughout this intermission, Kuragin stood with Dolokhov in front of the ramp, looking at the Rostovs’ box. Natasha knew that he was talking about her, and it gave her pleasure. She even turned around so that he could see her profile, in her opinion, in the most advantageous position. Before the start of the second act, the figure of Pierre appeared in the stalls, whom the Rostovs had not seen since their arrival. His face was sad, and he had gained weight since Natasha last saw him. Without noticing anyone, he walked into the front rows. Anatole approached him and began to say something to him, looking and pointing at the Rostovs’ box. Pierre, seeing Natasha, perked up and hurriedly, along the rows, went to their bed. Approaching them, he leaned on his elbow and, smiling, spoke to Natasha for a long time. During her conversation with Pierre, Natasha heard a man’s voice in Countess Bezukhova’s box and for some reason learned that it was Kuragin. She looked back and met his eyes. Almost smiling, he looked straight into her eyes with such an admiring, affectionate look that it seemed strange to be so close to him, to look at him like that, to be so sure that he liked you, and not be familiar with him.
In the second act there were paintings depicting monuments and there was a hole in the canvas depicting the moon, and the lampshades on the ramp were raised, and trumpets and double basses began to play, and many people in black robes came out to the right and left. People began to wave their arms, and in their hands they had something like daggers; then some other people came running and began to drag away that girl who had previously been in a white, and now in a blue dress. They didn’t drag her away right away, but sang with her for a long time, and then they dragged her away, and behind the scenes they hit something metal three times, and everyone knelt down and sang a prayer. Several times all these actions were interrupted by enthusiastic screams from the audience.
During this act, every time Natasha glanced at the stalls, she saw Anatoly Kuragin, throwing his arm over the back of the chair and looking at her. She was pleased to see that he was so captivated by her, and it did not occur to her that there was anything bad in this.
When the second act ended, Countess Bezukhova stood up, turned to the Rostovs' box (her chest was completely bare), beckoned the old count to her with a gloved finger, and, not paying attention to those who entered her box, began to speak kindly to him, smiling.
“Well, introduce me to your lovely daughters,” she said, “the whole city is shouting about them, but I don’t know them.”
Natasha stood up and sat down to the magnificent countess. Natasha was so pleased by the praise of this brilliant beauty that she blushed with pleasure.
“Now I also want to become a Muscovite,” said Helen. - And aren’t you ashamed to bury such pearls in the village!
Countess Bezukhaya, rightly, had a reputation as a charming woman. She could say what she did not think, and especially flatter, completely simply and naturally.
- No, dear Count, let me take care of your daughters. At least I won't be here for long now. And you too. I will try to amuse yours. “I heard a lot about you back in St. Petersburg, and I wanted to get to know you,” she told Natasha with her uniformly beautiful smile. “I heard about you from my page, Drubetsky. Did you hear he's getting married? And from my husband’s friend Bolkonsky, Prince Andrei Bolkonsky,” she said with special emphasis, thereby hinting that she knew his relationship to Natasha. “She asked, in order to get to know each other better, to allow one of the young ladies to sit in her box for the rest of the performance, and Natasha went over to her.
In the third act, a palace was presented on stage, in which many candles were burning and paintings depicting knights with beards were hung. In the middle stood probably the king and queen. The king waved his right hand, and, apparently timid, sang something badly and sat down on the crimson throne. The girl, who was first in white, then in blue, was now wearing only a shirt with her hair down and stood near the throne. She sang sadly about something, turning to the queen; but the king sternly waved his hand, and men with bare legs and women with bare legs came out from the sides and began to dance all together. Then the violins began to play very subtly and cheerfully, one of the girls with bare thick legs and thin arms, separated from the others, went backstage, straightened her bodice, went out to the middle and began to jump and quickly beat one leg against the other. Everyone on the ground clapped their hands and shouted “Bravo”. Then one man stood in the corner. The orchestra started playing cymbals and trumpets louder, and this one man with bare legs began to jump very high and mince his feet. (This man was Duport, who received 60 thousand a year for this art.) Everyone in the stalls, in the boxes and in the rai began to clap and shout with all their might, and the man stopped and began to smile and bow in all directions. Then others danced, with bare legs, men and women, then again one of the kings shouted something to the music, and everyone began to sing. But suddenly there was a storm, chromatic scales and diminished seventh chords were heard in the orchestra, and everyone ran and again dragged one of those present backstage, and the curtain fell. Again a terrible noise and crackling arose between the spectators, and everyone with delighted faces began to shout: Dupora! Dupora! Dupora! Natasha no longer found this strange. She looked around her with pleasure, smiling joyfully.
- N"est ce pas qu"il est admirable - Duport? [Isn’t Duport amazing?] said Helene, turning to her.
“Oh, oui, [Oh, yes,”] Natasha answered.
During the intermission, there was a smell of cold in Helen's box, the door opened and, bending down and trying not to catch anyone, Anatole entered.
“Let me introduce you to my brother,” Helen said, nervously flicking her eyes from Natasha to Anatole. Natasha turned her pretty head over her bare shoulder to the handsome man and smiled. Anatole, who was as good-looking up close as he was from afar, sat down next to her and said that he had long wanted to have this pleasure, ever since the Naryshkin Ball, at which he had the pleasure, which he had not forgotten, of seeing her. Kuragin was much smarter and simpler with women than in male society. He spoke boldly and simply, and Natasha was strangely and pleasantly struck by the fact that not only was there nothing so terrible about this man about whom they talked so much, but that on the contrary, he had the most naive, cheerful and good-natured smile.
Kuragin asked about the impression of the performance and told her about how Semenova fell while playing in the last performance.
“You know, Countess,” he said, suddenly addressing her as if he were an old acquaintance, “we are organizing a carousel in costumes; you should take part in it: it will be a lot of fun. Everyone gathers at the Karagins'. Please come, right? - he said.
As he said this, he did not take his smiling eyes off Natasha’s face, neck, and bare arms. Natasha undoubtedly knew that he admired her. She was pleased with this, but for some reason his presence made her feel cramped and heavy. When she was not looking at him, she felt that he was looking at her shoulders, and she involuntarily intercepted his gaze so that he would look better at her eyes. But, looking into his eyes, she felt with fear that between him and her there was absolutely no barrier of modesty that she had always felt between herself and other men. She, without knowing how, after five minutes felt terribly close to this man. When she turned away, she was afraid that he would take her bare hand from behind and kiss her neck. They talked about the simplest things and she felt that they were close, like she had never been with a man. Natasha looked back at Helen and her father, as if asking them what this meant; but Helen was busy talking with some general and did not respond to her glance, and her father’s gaze did not tell her anything other than what he always said: “It’s fun, well, I’m glad.”
In one of the moments of awkward silence, during which Anatole calmly and stubbornly looked at her with his bulging eyes, Natasha, in order to break this silence, asked him how he liked Moscow. Natasha asked and blushed. It constantly seemed to her that she was doing something indecent when talking to him. Anatole smiled, as if encouraging her.
– At first I didn’t like it much, because what makes a city pleasant, ce sont les jolies femmes, [pretty women,] isn’t it? Well, now I really like it,” he said, looking at her significantly. – Will you go to the carousel, Countess? “Go,” he said, and, stretching out his hand to her bouquet and lowering his voice, he said: “Vous serez la plus jolie.” Venez, chere comtesse, et comme gage donnez moi cette fleur. [You will be the prettiest. Go, dear Countess, and give me this flower as a pledge.]
Natasha did not understand what he said, just like he himself, but she felt that there was indecent intent in his incomprehensible words. She didn't know what to say and turned away as if she hadn't heard what he said. But as soon as she turned away, she thought that he was there behind her, so close to her.
Ionov Anton Kirillovich aka MC Young was born on February 21, 1983 in Moscow. In 1994 he moved to Prague, where he began rapping in 1997.
Under the creative pseudonyms MC Molodoy and Di Bruto (later Danny B), the guys represent Russian rap from Central Europe. They performed their debut track “I’m Ready to Die” at a disco at school. At that time, they did not yet suspect that their creativity could result in something worthwhile, but they believed in themselves and passionately wanted to make their dream come true. In 1999, they were joined by a third member named Dimak, with whom they recorded the track “This is us!” It was decided to call the joint project Psycho MC’s. Having recorded about 20 tracks and collected material, the team takes the first step towards success and opens the official “crazy” zone on the Internet, thereby strengthening its position on the Internet scene. Initially, the bulk of Psycho MC’s listeners were the Internet audience. In 2001-2002 the group made its debut on the collections “Rap. Runet vol.1" and "Rap. Runet vol.2". The products were distributed through the worldwide information network and were intended primarily for the Russian-speaking population. However, the guys did not forget that they live in the Czech Republic, in Central Europe, and sought to win the sympathy of the local public by performing at various venues in Prague. One of these concerts became the most important moment in the band's career. At their next performance, they were seen by the “godfather” of Czech hip-hop, Orion. He later said that when he first heard Psycho MC’s, he immediately realized that the guys could rise to the top of the Czech rap scene. “Psychos” is gaining more and more fans and is being released on compilations in different cities and regions of Russia. People who previously did not have the opportunity to get acquainted with their work on the Internet will learn about the group. Psycho MC’s was one of the first Russian rap groups abroad to consolidate its position on the World Wide Web. Later, more and more such teams appear, and the guys become cramped within the network. They understand that further development requires a strong push.
From 1999 to 2001, many unreleased tracks have already been recorded, both solo and as part of a group. At this time, MC Young recorded and released his debut EP - “Return”.
In 2002, after meeting Legalize, who moved to Prague, work began on the album P-Provocation, which was the end of Psycho MC’s and the beginning of p13.
At the end of 2003, the album was recorded and after Screw's careful work on mixing the tracks, it was released. In September 2003, work on the video for the track “I Know People...” was completed. In parallel with this, the first major performances of the group take place, for example, the festival “Our People 2002” and “Our People 2003”. Also, in the spring of 2003, the group made its debut on the collection of Eastern European rap “East Side Unia 3”, the compilation included 2 tracks of the group at once - “Prague Everyday Life” and “I Know People...”. The release was released both on CD and vinyl, p13 and Kasta become the second groups in the history of domestic rap to release their tracks on records (the first is the group Malchishnik). After the release of the collection, the group began to enjoy success in central Europe and received an offer from the Czech label Mad Drum to release the album “Provocation” in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In the spring of 2004, the album went on sale, which brought the group popularity and a lot of tours around the country. p13 becomes one of the first groups to gain recognition outside the CIS. In 2005, the group toured a lot in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, plus played a couple of concerts in Russia. In parallel with this, work is underway on a new album, which, alas, is not destined to be released. p13 recorded several joint songs with leading hip-hop artists of Eastern European rap, and MC Molodoy, as a beatmaker, took part in several prominent releases on this scene. During the same period of time, he meets DJ Nik One and 5 Plyukh, who take an active part in the group’s summer tour in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The group's last performance was the opening of the largest European hip-hop festival, Hip-Hop Kemp. In the summer of 2005, the group broke up due to personal differences among the members and work began on solo projects.
In the fall of 2005, MC Young moved to Moscow to work on an album, where, together with his friends DJ Nik One and 5 Plyukh, they formed the group “Fuck You Pay Me”. Work begins on the album “Pay Day”, which was recorded from 2006 to 2009.
At the end of 2005 and beginning of 2006, MC Molodoy began joint tours with DJ Nik One in Russian cities, at the same time the studio was being set up where releases would be recorded.
In the winter of 2008, MC Young met Rough Nowhere. They started communicating and soon decided to record a joint track with their mutual friend DJ Nik One. To record the track, Rude Nowhere decided to take with him his old friend Obe 1 Kanobe, with whom he loved to make music together. Then the guys recorded the track “We Are Not the Witnesses,” the project of which was later lost, and no one mixed it. In December 2008, MC Molodoy and Obe 1 Kanobe decided to record a joint track, but due to the fact that the time was not the sweetest for the two rappers, there was not enough money, there was a crisis in the country, and old friends turned their backs, the guys decided to get An old microphone and remote control were taken from the closet, we borrowed a computer from a friend and did everything ourselves. Thus, the track “Artists” was born, and the guys began to gather at MC Molodoy’s house every day and record new tracks. Three or four days later, Rough Nowhere and Digital Squad joined the recording. As already mentioned, the crisis had just begun in the country, times were difficult, and soon the guys came up with the name “Crisis Records.” The themes of the songs were appropriate: “Life is not sweet here”, “Kids”, “Dumplings”, “For the fuck”, “In a tavern”, etc. In the first month, about 25-30 tracks were recorded. The guys began to push their new “movement” with all their might. By the beginning of the summer of 2009, when they had already recorded somewhere around 60 tracks, the guys decided that it would be better to re-record the entire “Crisis Records” mixtape in a normal studio with a normal sound, because the material really turned out to be serious. The only one who agreed to help was Jony John from Corona Records. He invited the guys to re-record all this material at his studio and help with its release.
In 2008-2009 MC Molodoy takes an active part in the recording of DJ Nik One’s mixtapes “Poetry Nights”, “Looney Tunez” and “Saint P. Phenome”. He appears in the video clip for DJ Nik One's track "Game of Real Life" with the participation of Smokey Mo, who instantly gained popularity. Also, Anton takes part in the video of the Kamora group - “It’s too early to draw conclusions.”
In the spring of 2009, MS Molodoy announced his return to group p13. But, unfortunately, on July 15, 2009, MC Molodoy passed away due to cardiac arrest. He did not have time to completely re-record the material for the “Crisis Records” mixtape and recorded only 2 tracks for the newly reunited project p13.
On November 13, 2009, close friends organized an Evening in Memory of MC Molodoy, where Berezin, Legalize, Legion, 5 Plyukh, Mezza Morta, Smokey Mo, Bess, Check, Centr, Rena, Digital Squad, Obe 1 Kanobe, Rough Nowhere, etc. performed. money from the concert was directed to a monument to MC Young and to support his younger sister.

The tribute includes such performers as Krip-A-Krip, Berezin, Legalize, Smokey Mo, Decl, 5Plyukh, D.Masta, Mezza Morta and Legion. It was also announced that an album, F.Y.P.M., would be released. — Pay Day, mixtape “Crisis Records” and solo album of MC Molodoy.

At the end of 2003, the album was recorded and, after careful work by Shoopoop on mixing the tracks, it was released.
The work on the album "P-provocation" was the end of Psycho MCs and the beginning of P-13
In parallel with this, the group’s first major performances are taking place - in particular, at the rap festival “Our People” organized by Casta - 1, 2. Also in the spring of 2003, the group made its debut on the collection of Eastern European rap “Eastside Unia 3”, the compilation included 2 rap hits at once groups - “I Know People” and “Locomotives, Wheels, Roads”.
The release was released both on CD and on vinyl, P-13 and Kasta become the second groups in the history of domestic rap to release their tracks on records (the first was the group Malchishnik). After the release of the collection, the group MC Young begins to enjoy success in central Europe and receives an offer from the Czech label Mad Drum to release album "P-provocation" in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Be that as it may, in the spring of 2004 the album “P-Provocation” went on sale, which brought the group popularity and a lot of tours around the country. P-13 becomes one of the first groups to gain recognition outside the CIS. In 2005, the group toured a lot in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, plus played a couple of concerts in Russia, in parallel with this they are working on a new album, which, alas, is not destined to be released.
P-13 recorded several joint songs with leading hip-hop artists of Eastern European rap, also Young, as a beatmaker, has taken part in several prominent releases on this scene. During the same period of time, he meets future colleagues in the F.Y.P.M. association. (Fuck You, Pay Me) - DJ Nik-One and Dmitry 5 Plyukh, who are actively participating in the group’s summer tour in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The group's last performance was the opening of the largest European hip-hop festival, Hip-Hop Kemp. In the summer of 2005, the group broke up due to personal differences among the members and work began on solo projects.
In the fall of 2005 MC Young moves to Moscow to work on the album, where, together with his associates, he is part of the new label “Fuck You Pay Me”. Late 2005 early 2006 MC Young begins a joint tour with DJ Nik-One in Russian cities, at the same time a studio is being set up where the label's releases will be recorded.
Then there was a certain recovery, he actively participates in joint recordings with Decl (Le Truk), is part of the new association “Crisis Records”, is preparing to record the second album P-13 (without the risen Legalize, of course) and for his long-awaited solo album. However, all this is his.
Anton Kirillovich Ionov, (February 21, 1983, Moscow, USSR - July 15, 2009, Moscow, Russia) - domestic rap artist, better known as MC Young or Tony P, former member of the rap group "P-13" and posthumous - F.Y.P.M. and Crisis Records.
Biography:
Born on February 21, 1983 in Moscow. In 1994 he moved to Prague. There, in 1997, at the age of 14, he began rapping.
The beginning of a creative journey: Psycho MC's
Under the creative pseudonyms Molodoy and D. Bruto (later Danny B., Berezin), the guys represent Russian rap from Central Europe. In 1999, they were joined by a third member, Dimak, with whom they recorded the track “This is us!” It was decided to call the joint project Psycho MC`s.
Initially, the bulk of Psycho MC’s listeners were the Internet audience. The products were distributed through the worldwide information network and were intended primarily for the Russian-speaking population. However, the guys did not forget that they live in the Czech Republic, in Central Europe, and sought to win the sympathy of the local public by performing at various venues in Prague. One of these concerts became the most important moment in the band's career. At their next performance they were seen by the “godfather” of Czech hip-hop Orion. He later said that when he first heard Psycho MC’s, he immediately realized that the guys could rise to the top of the Czech rap scene.
Then, with the support of “Casta”, the first Psycho MC’s compositions are published in Russia on the Rap.Runet compilation. A year later, the second part of the compilation includes a joint song between Molodoy and Vladi called “Generation”. “Psychos” is winning more and more fans and is being released on compilations in different cities and regions of Russia. People who previously did not have the opportunity to get acquainted with their work on the Internet will learn about the group.
Psycho MC’s was one of the first Russian rap groups abroad to consolidate its position on the world wide web. Later, more and more such teams appear, and the guys become cramped within the network. They understand that further development requires a strong push.
From 1999 to 2001, many unreleased tracks have already been recorded, both solo and as part of a group. At this time, MC Young recorded and released his debut mini-album “Return”.
Increasing popularity: "P-13"
At the end of 2001, Legalize, one of the most iconic people in Russian rap, came to Prague, who participated in the groups Bad Balance, Bad B. Alliance, Legal Business $$, and was also a member of the underground group D.O.B.
Young and Danny B (Berezin) meet Legalize. As they say, their meeting was accidental, but fateful. A common interest, rap, was discovered at the first meeting. In the atmosphere of battle, the joint track “Without Apologies” is born. And after some time, the League is impressed by the demo version of the “Psychos” song “I know people ...” and, having managed to discern the “brilliance of a new star,” he offers to come up with a chorus for it. A lot of interesting material quickly accumulates on the computer, and a decision is made to record a full-length album. The new project receives a short and simple name - “P-13”. This is the thirteenth district of Prague, where the band members lived and grew creatively in the neighborhood.
Having prepared the material, the guys go to the studio in Moscow, where Liga worked before leaving for Prague. The album is being released by the “freshly created” record label “Intelligent Hooligan Productions” under the patronage of the company “D&D Music”. At the studio, DJ Shooroop is finishing the processing and mixing of the thirteen songs that are included in the album. It was called “Provocation” in honor of the track of the same name, in which all words begin with the capital letter of the group’s name - “P”.
At this time, concerts in Russia begin. One of the first performances takes place, oddly enough, on Friday the thirteenth, at the DownTown club. Also, on Friday the thirteenth, one of the most powerful songs is mixed - “I know people...”, for which, after some time, a video is shot.
By the end of 2002, the album was almost ready for release, but due to unresolved legal issues, it remained gathering dust on the shelf for the next year. The group does not sit idle. The first truly major performance of the new project “Legalize and P-13” in Moscow was a concert in front of an audience of thousands at “Streetball”. Due to the unrest, their performance was postponed to the second day of the festival, and the guys had to share the stage with the pseudo-lesbian duo “Tatu”. Then there was a concert at the first festival “Our People”. According to eyewitnesses, it was an unforgettable show, where the “legal psychos” received a standing ovation from the audience, and during the song “I Know People...” the hall lit up with hundreds of lighters.
In September 2003, work on the video “I Know People...” was completed. A “clean” version of the song was made especially for the broadcast, and in October 2003 the video clip began to be rotated on MTV Russia.
At the end of 2003, the time came for the official release of the album “Provocation”. On December 13, the presentation of the long-awaited disc took place at the Arlekino entertainment complex with the participation of guests: “Casta”, “Yu.G.”, Decl aka Le Truk and others. On December 17, “Legalize and P-13” performed at the second “Our People” festival. This time the concert took place in the huge hall of the Luzhniki sports complex, where the “highlight of the program” was the legendary American group Onyx.
A few months after summing up the results of the “Hip-Hop.Ru Awards 2003”, official representatives announced that the project “Legalize and P-13” took first positions in two categories: “Best Album of the Year”, “Best Debut of the Year” and second position in nomination "Best Clip of the Year".
After a successful release in Russia, the group decides to release the album “Provocation” in the Czech Republic. On March 21, World Poetry Day, a CD with a new booklet in Czech will be released on the Maddrum Records label. A new stage begins in the work of “P-13”; the album is distributed in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Presentations take place in the largest cities of the Czech Republic: Prague, Brno and Pardubice.
Young immediately warns that “there is no need to ask much about the breakup of the group, it has little to do with rap.”
Young Strikes Again: Tony P. (F.Y.P.M.)
In 2005, 5Plyukh, with the arrival of MC Molodoy, after the collapse of P-13, decided to create a label and the band of the same name F.Y.P.M. (Fuck You Pay Me), under which both solo albums and joint projects are planned for release, work on which was carried out with vigorous activity.
One of those with whom Anton collaborates and communicates most closely is Moscow DJ - DJ Nik-One. “He’s great,” DJ Nik-One gives a laconic description of Young. “He has a new girlfriend named Akai MPC-2000. He can't take his hands off her. He gets up at eight in the morning... Nik-One invigorates such weak-willed individuals like me and 5Plyukh with his new beats.”
5Plyukh is another like-minded person of Young in creativity and a companion at all kinds of parties. Speaking about his friend’s future album, he notes the diversity of the material, where next to the bastard “teases” (diss - MC Molodoy’s note) there are tracks in which Molodoy “gives romance.”
“In battles, a competitive moment appears, excitement awakens. In fact, if you dig into the history of hip-hop, it started with battles. This topic is also gaining momentum in Russia. I also took part recently. No, not on the Internet, a normal freestyle battle. The Internet is just a perverted version of this phenomenon. Although there is something different in this, it is relatively far from the concept of “battle”. This is a competition, not a battle. In a normal battle, not only what you can write and come up with plays a role, but also how psychologically stable you are, whether you are ready to go out and eliminate your opponent here and now using technique and vocabulary. One way or another, you need to be able to improvise.” - Molodoy said about “teasing”.
Last years
In the period 2006-2009, Young recorded joint tracks with such rap artists as Swift, Smokey Mo, Spider, Slim.
In the winter of 2008, together with Obe 1 Kanobe, he created the Crisis Records association, which, in addition to them, includes Tato and the groups Digital Squad and Supreme Playaz. Work on the mixtape begins in different recording studios.
In April 2009, the video “Game of Real Life” was released with the participation of Smokey Mo and DJ Nik-One. The extras included DJ Dlee, Mezza Morta, Basta/Noggano, Decl, 5Plyukh, Lyon, Tato, Loc-Dog, Hamil, Slim, Ptakha, Dzhigan, Kupe, Rough Nowhere, Obe 1 Kanobe, Nel, L"One, ST.
In the spring of 2009, MC Molodoy announced his return to the P-13 group, and in the summer he negotiated with the head of the Corona Records label to re-record and release a mixtape from the Crisis Records association. The main composition of “Crisis” is being formed, which includes such MCs as Rough Nowhere, MC Molodoy aka Tony P., Rezo aka Spliff Blazer, Slim (group P.R.) and Obe 1 Kanobe. The recording of the “Crisis Records” mixtape has begun.
Death
On June 29, 2009, information was published on the Internet that MC Molodoy had gone missing. Friends reported the rap artist missing to the police. He was last seen on July 15 in Moscow (at about 18:00 in the area of Shchelkovskoye Highway at the intersection with the Moscow Ring Road).
On July 18, the corpse of MS Molodoy was taken to the morgue. Death occurred from cardiac arrest. One of the possible reasons is heroin addiction, which the rapper did not hide. Since Anton did not have documents with him, all this time his family and friends continued to search for him.
On August 4, friends and admirers of creativity said goodbye to Anton in the morgue of City Clinical Hospital No. 57. After which a funeral procession took place to the Vvedensky cemetery, where Anton was buried.
On November 13, 2009 (Friday the 13th) the Memorial Evening of MC Molodoy was held, where Berezin, Legalize, Legion, 5 Plyukh, Mezza Morta, Smokey Mo, Bess, Check, Centr group, Rena, Digital Squad group, Obe 1 Kanobe performed. , Rough Out of Nowhere and many others. All the money from the concert was directed to the monument to MC Young and to support his younger sister.
In 2009, the tribute album “P-13. Mixtape provocation." MC Molodoy's verses from the 2003 album were reread by other Russian rappers: Kripple, Berezin, Legalize, Smokey Mo, Decl, 5 Plyukh, D.masta, Mezza Morta and Legion.
On February 9, 2014, a mini-album from the Crisis Records association called “Turning Point” was released, and on February 21, Anton’s posthumous solo album “I only speak true” was released, in which such artists as 5 Plyukh, Rough Nowhere took part , DJ Nik One and others.
Participant P-13 is not ready to be frank about the breakup of the group, but he is willing to talk about the future.
Semi-finished album
Young immediately warns that “there is no need to ask much about the collapse of the P-13 group, it has little to do with rap.” And with much more interest he talks about his new album, which “exists for now in the form of a semi-finished product, although all the material is already ready.” Sitting next to 5 Plyukh, Molodoy’s bosom friend, suggests that we will see him again in the form of a semi-finished product... some eighth “factory”... The idea is considered successful, but after some development of the topic, Molodoy still returns to the story about the album .
“I think it will stand out from among the latest releases of Russian rap. It will be more positive. Let’s say, raunchy or scumbag. More catchy tracks to slightly dilute the depressive cloud that has shrouded Russian rap lately.”
“Today, in its final form, there is only one track - “P.A.D.O.N.K.I.”, recorded in St. Petersburg. And now we are going to go there again to Tengiz (Drunkenness Boyce), to work with I love. There is also Screw, who has a unique mixing style, but he listens only to himself. And with Tengiz you can sit together and express your sound preferences."
The album should be very diverse in music. Among the beatmakers will be both Molodoy himself and L.A., Nik-One, Beat from St. Petersburg, Keith from the South, N-Keat. There are many joint tracks planned, including with such people as Dimon “5 Plyukh”, Le Truk, Smokey Mo, Kripple, Snake, Spider, r"n"b-singer Knara.
“Perhaps there will be Legalize,” suggests Young. “But he’s a busy person, so it’s like a lottery. There will be ST1M, and I would like Mac, a former member of the YUG, to participate.” The list is not closed, which means surprises are possible, and Young promises that he will probably invite someone else. I propose to him the candidacy of Drago, who looks similar in style, but I hear the answer: “Yes, the styles may be similar, but we’d better compete, it’s more profitable.” Despite such an abundance of guests, Young is not afraid to get lost in the discordant choir of friends and promises that “you will still have time to get tired of my voice and obscene rhymes.”
Brigade 3 Gada
Molodoy explains the origin of the term “bastard rap,” which he should have patented, by the isolated lifestyle that took place at the stage when he was writing this album and documenting what was happening in audio format.
“This happened in Moscow, in Prague and everywhere I was. At all r"n"beyatch parties. In the Infiniti club - in the B. Club, unfortunately, they are only allowed in once out of ten, so I’m already I dropped my hands." “They won’t recognize you at the entrance,” jokes 5 Plyukh.
“I need a Chrysler like Timati’s. I’ll buy it and go there right away. First of all,” Molodoy continues to explain how to get into the most expensive r"n"b club in Moscow. “The main thing there is not to get excited that you are leaving the subway. And don’t drive up on the check.” Then he admits: “I don’t know, lately I have become not a club person at all. I’m tired of it, it’s somehow monotonous, uninteresting and superficial. I very rarely go to shake off the old days, then it takes me a month to come to my senses.”
Simultaneously with the recording of the album, Young began work on a parallel project, 3 Gad, which, according to its participants, is a “distorting mirror of Russian rap.” Young promises that “everyone will be picked on. All famous groups, including ourselves.” The participants have promising stage personas and corresponding pseudonyms. DJ Nik-One will be called Dominic-One, Dima “5 Plyukh” will be called Dimati, and Molodoy will be called a character with the chic name Shishok Ratmirov. They promise to tease not out of spite, but with humor.
Don't have friends like P.A.D.O.N.K.I.
There is no doubt that much of his work could have turned out completely differently if it had not been for his acquaintance with Vladi and Legalize. At different times, these people influenced the development of Molodoy as a musician and rapper, and helped him climb higher on the ladder of recognition.
“I was connected to the domestic scene via the Internet, and thanks to an online acquaintance with Vladi, I took my first steps. That’s when I listened to “Three-Dimensional Rhymes” for the first time, which impressed me very much. Well, somehow I contacted him via the Internet and sent him demos. And he gave me technical advice, in terms of recording, mixing, creating music. Then we did something ourselves, when the “missing” League appeared. And we had the opportunity to work with the best representatives of this genre in Russia. Like a movie about the American dream . We sat, kicked around, and then - bam! "
However, the album by Legalize and P-13, contrary to expectations, did not receive further continuation. The young man explains this course of events simply and logically.
"Work together with the League in the future? I don’t know, we are people of different generations. Recording one album was very cool. But then I need to do something of my own, and he needs to do his own. Still, he remains the number one figure, and even with him doing something, there is no way to fully realize himself, because he will still overshadow. He is currently working on a solo album, which he is releasing relatively late. So he needs to focus and record something revolutionary. Heard some tracks, I like it . Although this is not exactly what many expect to hear. But for my taste it’s quite.”
Today, one of those with whom Young collaborates and communicates most closely is Moscow DJ Nick-One. “He’s a great guy,” Molodoy gives a laconic description. “He has a new girl, whose name is Akai MPC-2000 (drum machine – approx. Rap.Ru). He can’t keep his hands off her. He gets up at eight in the morning... Nik-One invigorates such weak-willed individuals with his new beats , like me and 5 Plyukh."
5 Plyukh is another of Young’s like-minded people in creativity and a companion at all kinds of parties. Speaking about his friend’s future album, he notes the diversity of the material, where, next to the bastard “teases,” there are tracks in which Young “gives romance.”
I haven't heard anyone freestyle better than me
“Teasers” is what Molodoy calls battle tracks. Despite such a frivolous term, he takes this component of the art of MC very seriously. And he considers battle rap to be the engine of hip-hop in terms of sound and technique.
"In battles, a competitive moment appears, excitement awakens. In fact, if you dig into the history of hip-hop, it began with battles. In Russia, this topic is also gaining momentum. I also took part recently. No, not on the Internet, a normal freestyle battle . The Internet is like that, a perverted version of this phenomenon. Although there is something of its own in this, it is relatively far from the concept of "battle". This is a competition, not a battle. In a normal battle, not only what you can write plays a role, come up with, but also how psychologically stable you are, are you ready to go out and here and now eliminate your opponent using technique, vocabulary. One way or another, you need to be able to improvise."
“My most memorable battle was SGK, where I lost in the final. There I overestimated my strength, I thought I would throw hats at everyone, I didn’t see a single name I knew among the participants, and I prepared relatively negligently. I hadn’t slept before that and for the final of something deflated. Well, I lost fair and square. But I don’t wave my fists after a fight and I don’t think there’s anything to be ashamed of. On the contrary, any defeat gives you new motivation to work harder. Of course, it also played a role that I have a relatively famous name, and those who participated there, they could sit at home and scribble verses at me. If I knew who was strong there, I would also, naturally, sit and come up with a couple of dirty tricks."
“Of those I’ve heard, Noize MC is strong in freestyles. Although in fact rap often turns into a conversational form, he has a sense of humor, knows how to improvise, knows how to navigate the situation, and is a worthy opponent. I lost to him in the final. But , I think there will still be a revenge. And without false modesty I will say that since the time I began to cook in this hip-hop sphere, I have not heard anyone freestyle better than me. But then Noize was found. And who yet? ST1M? But he doesn’t freestyle much. He writes verses coolly. I freestyled with Drago. I don’t know, I won’t say anything. Otherwise I’ll have to unsubscribe later (laughs). Maybe we’ll meet again someday and have a battle."
