On the night of February 3, after a concert in Izhevsk, Kirill Tolmatsky died . From cardiac arrest. He called himself Juzeppe Jostko and Detsl Aka Le Truk . The country remembered him as dezla-a teenager in wide pants and a hat stretched along the eyebrow, who introduced her to hip-hop.

The problem of Cyril Tolmatsky was that years, but he was still perceived by the very skirt from the clip about the party at Deutsl at home. When his first videos began to twist his first videos-“Friday” and “Tears” on music television, he was not such a child-after all, 16 years old-and had already grown dreadlocks under a hat. But he had a young face, a baby face, and it seemed to him no more than 12. Therefore, the affirmative and naive youth rap in his execution and blew up the country-Deitsl's debut album “Who? You ”expanded more than a million, and how many pirate copies of cassettes and CDs came out, it is impossible to calculate.

Kirill Tolmatsky did not choose the fate of the preacher Rap in an irrelevant and frozen country - he went to his birthday.

For millions of teenagers, Kirill Tolmatsky became a role -playing model - a kid who is not afraid to look the way he likes and listen to the music that he loves. It was the 2000th-it was the time when hip-hop was a marginal subculture and browing belonging to it was courage. Behind the hat, stretched over the eyebrows, and wide pants could be grabbed by strong lilya even in the heart of the capital of our Motherland. Therefore, at least millions of Deutzl had both haters - those who said that “decl is a sucker,” and critics who considered him “daddy rapper”. Cyril’s father is producer Alexander Tolmatsky, who took up the Millennium at the turn of the Russian rap on a wide media leg. In the pool of his company Mediastar were artists who had already earned a reputation in a hip-hop community-Vlad Sheff Valov and Ligalase. It was they who composed his first songs to Deutzl who became hits-indeed, by order of the pope.

Kirill Tolmatsky did not choose the fate of the rapper preacher in an irrelentic and frozen country - he went to his birthday with the first track donated by his father. But he played this heavy lot with dignity. A sincere young man believed in those words that he voiced and personified , touring the vast vastness of the vast: “Freedom of speech beats in his head - and the point. I stand firmly on two legs - there is an opinion. Midowries-just self-expression. Just tell your word to society and do not expect approval. You have your own language. " Decl so believed in virtue of his opinion that at some point he broke off the connection with the producer's father and went with his rapper back to the underground. Many saw in this act another evidence that decl is a sucker.

Society did not give Cyril the Tolmak approval. The country did not notice and did not appreciate the moment when his dreadlocks were grown over his shoulders and he turned into a domestic Bob Marley. This happened on the third (already made independently) album, released in 2004. Trying to get rid of the glory of the “daddy rapper”, he changed the nicknames and did not change the ideological platform - after Boris Grebenshchikov, Sergey “Oldy” Belousov and Herales Kirill Tolmatsky became the most consistent medium and the interpretation of the Whestfarianism for the Russians. There was no religious fog in Detsl Aka Le Truk - Jah as a symbol of the struggle for freedom and against the system, music and marijuana as a means of rejection and building its own social network. "Light, sound, smoke, circle - we are united by JJ, my friend." But this is in a huge northern country, where the soul lies with vodka, to cocaine or to the cross, also looked like a sucker.

Kirill Tolmatsky did not give up - he raised his hair, raised his son, spoke in an interview about what Russia sees the future, and about the responsibility that the rapper carries for his words, and wrote down songs. On his last album, released under the curtain of the last year, - “It doesn’t matter who is at the helm” - he repeats the same truth - “freedom above all”, exposes the regime (“not a country, but a madhouse. We are zombified at night”, zombies during the day ”), praises the power of music and smoke (“ Bulbik or Boon ”) and releases quilting remarks to the current ones Rap Geroev, who once had a fellow travelers, in particular, Timati, with whom they began to dance a Break Dance (“Lezginka on a table in a jacket Armani -dumb back-emi sold with giblets”). The fundamental position of a person who has been standing in a single picket for many years is considered a weakness or even a sign of madness in our country. And perhaps the reason is that, even releasing the dreadlocks to the waist, Kirill Tolmatsky remained a bey-type and was perceived by the very deals, at the guest of the majority of nostalgic memories, "everyone moves to the music of hip-hop." It is unlikely that someone listened to the album “no matter who was at the helm” carefully and reacted to the words of Detsl Aka Le Truk seriously-it was customary to laugh at them because the Mem “decl-sucker” is inexplicable. Probably, dad was right-Cyril Tolmatsky had to stay in a commercial niche, follow the path that Timati went, record Fita with Leps, look for meetings with Putin and not to claim something more. Russia does not need its Bob Marley.

But Cyril Tolmatsky passed away, without changing himself, remaining with his opinion and with hope for tomorrow. Does this not deserve respect?
