Marijuana and mind-altering mushrooms are the spices in Наш Хип-Хоп (Our Hip-Hop), and not everyone handles them equally well. One shouldn’t be taken on an empty stomach, while for the other an empty stomach is apparently essential – or so I’ve heard. Either way, our hip-hop today goes down smoothly, especially if the bass isn’t turned too low.
Cool song, by, The Chemodan (Facebook, VK). Accompanied by a video that plays out like a short film.
Music with Эфди Вадим (Efdi/fd Vadim, VK) and ОУ74 (24smi, VK).
Video with Денис Сладков (Denis Sladkov).
Directed by Лёша Ломов (Lesja Lomov, Instagram, YouTube).
