Russian rapper ST sets national record with 24-hour live performance

For 24 hours straight, the Russian rap artist ST performed original tracks in a livestream on the social media site VKontakte. The event’s organizers believe the live show is the longest online performance in Russian history. After its conclusion, the rapper posted a photograph indicating that he had earned a place in the Record Book of Russia.

Throughout the day, ST took short breaks on a regular basis. As the show neared its end, the rapper’s voice began to break and he began to sweat profusely, but he continued to perform nonetheless. ST’s VKontakte livestream drew more than seven million views, and a full recording is scheduled to be posted in the coming days.
