Boy's youth
Purulent from early childhood wanted to go against the current, and all his aspirations demonstrated this. The performer was born in the city of Khabarovsk on May 9, 1990. Vyacheslav also has a sister, Daria. Purulent showed his desire to stand out through the punk subculture, known for its hatred of political activity and the public. Also, like all punks, he was an adherent of symbolic clothing and companies, for example, Patrol (patrols).
In high school, with his friend, he started selling home-made cartoons that had a congratulatory character for birthdays. They were supposed to interest buyers with a creative approach. The future rapper spent all the proceeds on sweets and other entertainment. Then the guys decided to abandon their previous idea and do something else - recording discs with special tests of a psychological nature.
After graduating from school in 2007, Vyacheslav moved to the Khabarovsk Higher Educational Institution of Info Communications. Often, the future rapper was detained for bad behavior due to alcohol abuse and subsequent skirmishes. Nevertheless, Purulent was able to graduate from the university, becoming the owner of a diploma in the IT field. Slava got a job in the field of cellular services, but since the job was low-paid, at the first opportunity he went to work in an amusement park, where he received a salary much higher.
Rapper trail
It all started when, at the age of 22, Vyacheslav began to get involved in Sasha Skul's rap. He liked this genre so much that the guy listened to all the artist's albums and decided to try himself in Hip-Hop. From the very beginning, his tracks were filled with profanity. Purulent took to recording himself when he realized that he had improved his technique and style well.
The guy's first collection was an album called "Pih-Poh", which he published as Glory to the CPSU back in 2013. The album consisted of only four tracks, after which, with his friend Smesharik, he released a joint album with an 18+ limit, which included six tracks. The title of the album is "Jar of Indigestion".
Around this time, Slava KPSS applied for participation in the Slovo battle project in St. Petersburg, this northern capital of Russia. It was then that Vyacheslav chose his second creative pseudonym Purulent. The guy was well aware that his rap was full of profanity and immoral expressions, so he recognized the similarity of the pseudonym with his nature. In this competition, Purulent, without unnecessary difficulties, dealt with his opponents. The organizer of these rap battles, Den Cheney, did not stand aside, with whom the guy fought in the final, showing excellent command of the rhythm and his intelligence.
The victory brought Purulent the first wave of success, which pulled him to Anapa to continue the battles, only not with amateurs, but with professionals in this matter. He was supposed to fight at Slovofest with rapper Nongratta from Kharkov, who was the winner of the first season of the Word in Moscow. The only obstacle that stood in the way of Purulent was the rapper from Krasnodar MC S'One, where the guy fought, but lost to a more dexterous one.
Success
In 2014, Vyacheslav, on the wave of success, recorded an album of nine tracks. The title of the album pierced the lyrics of its fans - "Leaves in an empty pool." The next year was no less productive. Then he recorded his first video on the thieves theme, which turned out to be quite romantic. It was thanks to the video "Sit Out" that Purulent was able to achieve even greater success among his admirers.
In 2015, the rapper actively bullies other performers, releasing a parody album under the pseudonym Slava CPSU. He did not try to humiliate the weaker benchmarks. On the contrary, his goal was the "king" of turnip in Russia, the old-timer of the word - Oksimiron, to whom he dedicated a couple of tracks. Purulent severely ridiculed Miron, discussing his life and "attempts" in turnips. In the end, Slava achieved a duel with the "king". With this album, Purulent has made many opponents for himself, who speak badly of him to this day.
The next, 2016, turned out to be no less productive for the performer. Purulent achieved the recording of the track together with a long-standing idol - rapper Sasha Skul, presenting the song "In the Courtroom". In the same year, the artist released the album "It's hard to be with God", which consisted of eight records. Starting in 2016, Slava most of all begins to use her pseudonyms to publish various types of tracks, even calling herself a female name - Sonya Marmeladova.
One of the important victories of Purulent was over Oksimiron, which went dry with a score of 5:0. On YouTube, the video scored thirty million views, and Purulent himself brought immense popularity, after which he was invited to all sorts of shows where he gave interviews. He was taken to the jury of the competition together with Philip Kirkorov.
Apparently this guy has a great future in his niche. We wish him good luck and further creative success.
