The Belarusian-Petersburg rap project “Mud” releases its most serious and ambitious album “Holy Hierarchy”, on which the branded gloomy hip-hop about the ads around us reaches almost its apotheosis. Otherwise, it could not work - one of the main sources of inspiration is called the “Divine Comedy” by Dante Aligieri, and, according to the leader of the “mud” Denis Astapov, those “nine circles of suffering, torment and pain” remain unchanged today. The Holy Hierarchy is a “Russian drill-triller” of six stories that occur in one entrance of a typical Russian panel, whose heroes face the forehead with the depressing realities of modernity-from pandemia and the arbitrariness of the authorities to household crime, alcoholism and drug addiction. In musical terms, the Hierarchia is also a step to a new level for the project: the notorious masters of their business are responsible for the bits here - Ghosty (collaborated with Jon Z, Waka Flocka Flame), Jb Made It (collaborated with Drake, Chief Keef, French Montana), Porchy and Porchy and Porchy 4eu3. The release will be accompanied by video clips for each of the six stories that go out alternately every week, as well as a special creepy, in the style of “mud”, a quest . Here is the first of the video clips - for the song "Blue Lights":
There is everything on this album.
These are stories about people living in one entrance.
Their fate is random and inclicable in a large nightmare weave.
A nightmare that we all live every day. Dante Aligieri described hell as nine circles of suffering and torment. Our circles are staircases. Each apartment has its own failures and defeats.
The actions of the heroes are easy to condemn, but what would you do when you find yourself in their place?
Everyone has its own path and an idea of how to go.
But in one they are definitely similar: here everyone is fighting for life. What this struggle will lead to, you will learn on the album.
