Oksimiron is one of the most popular rap artists of today. Lives in St. Petersburg and London. He took his pseudonym from the meaning “incomprehensible.” Former member of the OptikRasha group, founder of Vagabund. He won nominations in rap battles and had good statuses, for example, “best mc of the year” or “discovery of the year” (on hiphopru).

Detailed biography

Full name: Miron Yanovich Fedorov. Born on January 31, 1985, in St. Petersburg (Leningrad, USSR). He lived in an ordinary family, where his father worked as a physicist in the field, and his mother was a librarian. Due to his father's profession, at the age of 8 (1994) he and his family were forced to move to Ruttenscheid (Germany). There, his father was offered an apartment near the university where he was a teacher. When they moved, his family was one of the few Russian-speaking ones in this town, so young Oxy often visited Kray, where he had the opportunity to talk with the Turks.

At school, Miron had conflicts with his classmates. Most likely, in the educational institution (Maria-Waechtler Schule) in which he studied, there were only “rich” children, which became the reason for conflicts. To somehow release his anger, the future rapper Oksimiron began rapping in German at the age of 12. At that time he decided to call himself "Myth". Here it is worth mentioning one of his songs, namely " Last call". It well emphasizes his attitude towards his classmates. This song has become one of the most popular in his collection.

Then, at the age of fifteen (2000), Oksimiron again changes his place of residence. This time he moves to England. Respectively last years He finished school in another place, or rather it was a city called Slough. This city was quite popular among drug dealers. Here an important event happened in his life, because it was at another school that he began to devote more time to education. And one day, one of his favorite teachers invites him to apply to Oxford, noting that he can be adequately assessed.

In general, in 2004 he was accepted into one of the most prestigious educational institutions in the world. During his studies he was expelled. On his official website you can find the reason: he was excluded with a diagnosis of manic depression. Oxy didn’t stop there and did it again. And soon he graduated from the faculty in English and literature with a specialization in the Middle Ages.

When I studied, I lived in Oxford. Later I started renting an apartment, somewhere in East London. He repeatedly mentioned his address in his tracks. Soon he got a job, but not yet in the field of music, but in construction. So he tried a large number of jobs that he didn’t really like. You can find the following list of his part-time jobs: loader, guide, translator, guardian, salesman, tutor, office worker, entertainer. Still, he really needed money to support his family. By the way, he very rarely mentions it, one can say that nothing is known (Do you know something? Share it in the comments?). On his website, he wrote only one sentence about this, or rather the word: “Divorced.” In 2010, he quit working and started making music.

Rapper's creativity

The beginning of a musical career

His musical career began in 1997, when he was 13 years old. He was part of a two-person group, which soon broke up. At first he imagined himself as the rapper Myth. Due to emigration, he raps in German, but when he moves to England, he begins to release his first Russian-language tracks. He was a participant in one of the most popular battles in Russia - Hip-Hop ru. Some of his tracks were lost.

After 5 years, he rethinks his choice, realizing that his rap is somehow normal, but still bad. After this thought, he stopped recording tracks for 7 years. It was a long time before he resumed experimenting with music.

The track “London against everyone” is released under the nickname we already know - Oxxxymiron. He put together all the parts he came up with different years. After that, more and more new tracks appeared, but popularity came after the recording of the track “Special delivery”, together with CD. His participation in another hip-hop battle, in which he reached the semi-finals, added no less to his popularity.

Optik Russia (2008—2010)

Oksimiron’s biography includes years when he was closely associated with the “Rap Troops”. On Wikipedia you can read that it was the “Optik Russia” label that gave Miron his first wave of listeners and his acquaintance with Dmitry Hinter (rapper Schokk). In August 2010, Oxy left Optik Russia due to a mismatch of interests.

"The Eternal Jew", Vagabund. (2011)

After Oksimiron left Optik Russia, he took up the consciousness of his own label Vagabund. In the same year, the so-called “October events” took place. This was the name of Oksimiron’s short tour together with Shock across the CIS countries. In the fall, Oxxxymiron, Schokk and Ivan “Vanya Lenin” Karoly (as a manager) created a label, under which such albums as “The Eternal Jew” by Oksimiron and “From the Main Road” by Schokk were released. These albums were released on the same day (September 15, 2011) and received quite a lot of good reviews. And so began the new Vagabund tour in 2011, which continued until November 6th.

On November 1 (during the tour) after a conflict with Roma Zhigan, Oksimiron announced his departure from the label. That's what Oxy

On November 4, an invitation is issued to Oksimiron’s last performance, which will take place in the form of a free solo concert in Moscow:

And, in fact, the solo acapella concert in Moscow:

2012. miXXXtape.

After the tour, he kept silent about himself and made himself known only at the end of 2011. He opens his own website and announces some important event, which will be dated 02/27/2012

Time passes, after 2 months we found out what kind of event it was. He uploads a single from “Tumbler” on his personal website. He talks about completely cutting off communication with previous friends. He also reports that from now on he will sing more solo. For a period of exactly one week, he pleases fans with new news. So, on the first one he puts out the track “Ultima Thule”, and on the next one he releases “miXXXtape I”, which combines the best verses of his musical career. Thus, he attracts more and more people to him.

After some time, news appears that Oxxxymiron will perform his hits at one of the famous festivals. He did not confirm this, but did not deny it either. When people came to this concert, they didn’t see quite what they wanted. Some guy is a double, reading along with a soundtrack. Panic sets in, people start discussing it. And Oksimiron, during his speech, writes on Twitter: “I’m sitting and re-reading Dostoevsky’s “The Double”.”

Later Oksimiron explained all this in his interview, and also set the release date for the second album - 2012.

Oksimiron and Versus

Oksimiron's first appearance on Versus was already in the third issue of the first season. There, Miron battled with rapper Krip-a-Krip, in which Oxy won.

In 2015, season 3 of Versus Battle was released. The first episode of this season was the battle between Myron and Joniboy. The first one won. This video broke the records of previous releases, collecting 1,000,000 views in a day and 20,000,000 views in a year.

Rapidly dialed in Lately popularity Russian-language rap artist Oxxxymiron, whose real name is Miron Fedorov, is successful not only among long-time connoisseurs of the genre. Being now devoted fans and even fans of the rapper, some listeners were not even close to the Russian-speaking segment of hip-hop culture before. Needless to say, the performer is attractive not only to music lovers as a producer of a high-quality musical product, but also to young girls as a bright, talented and charismatic young man. Personality and private life the famous Oksimiron haunts his female fans, but there is not much information about him in official sources. Who is Miron really, is there a “combat girlfriend” next to him or is he a “lone wolf”?

Brief before the start of a musical career

Miron Yanovich Fedorov was born on January 31, 1985 in Leningrad. Myron's family emigrated to Ruttenscheid, Germany, where the boy went to school. Relations with classmates initially did not work out, which served as the main incentive for the development of a creative streak. Young Miron Fedorov began writing rap in German under the pseudonym Mif. At the same time, the guy, being sure that there was no hip-hop culture in Russia, which was then far from him, set himself the task of creating rap music in Russian. Miron later admits that he was deeply disappointed when he and his friends first attended a Russian rap festival. In 2000, the rapper's family moved to the UK, and in 2004 the guy entered Oxford, from where he left in 2006 due to mental health problems (diagnosed with manic-depressive psychosis). True, Miron quickly recovered at the university and continued his studies and in 2008 received an Oxford diploma in “Medieval English Literature.”

Oksimiron's musical career

Miron Fedorov for a long time made his way through thorns to the stars, writing rap songs in German, English and Russian, and also participating in battles. The rapper created his nickname using a play on words and symbols: the name of the artist is Miron, three letters “x” as a hint at the amount of “adult” content in the songs and the distorted term “oxymoron” - a contradiction. In 2011, Oksimiron released his first solo album, “The Eternal Jew,” under the Vagabund label. In 2012, Miron presented the collection miXXXtape on the Internet, which presented the most successful songs from the previous 4 years. Oksimiron’s latest album “Gorgorod” was presented to the public in 2015. Despite mixed reviews from critics, the album became fateful in the career of a rap artist.

Personal life of Oksimiron

Many female fans interested in Oxxxymiron’s personality are interested in whether Miron Fedorov is married, and if not, does he have a girlfriend? According to unverified rumors, this moment he is officially free. Miron Fedorov’s wife, in his own words, really existed, but at the moment the rapper is divorced and prefers not to comment on married life.

Fans of Oksimiron often create fan sites and fan groups of the performer, where discussions about the rapper’s personal life and photographs allegedly show young Miron Fedorov and his wife always appear, but the performer himself did not confirm or deny this information. Recently, Miron often talks about the decline in activity on the personal front, which, nevertheless, according to him, only contributes to creative self-development. In his personal microblog on the social network Twitter, the rapper asked readers a rhetorical question about accepting celibacy during the recording of the album “Gorgorod”. However, the seriousness of such questions and statements will likely always be in doubt.

Oksimiron - a star or an ordinary person?

Miron carefully guards information about his personal life. Data on such things as Miron Fedorov’s height and weight, as well as the presence or absence of children, cannot be found on the Internet. Probably, the singer himself is very careful about disseminating information about his personal life, since he keeps creativity as a priority. Nevertheless, the rapper is happy to run his own pages on social networks and communicate with fans, and also doesn’t mind taking pictures with fans at concerts and other gatherings. Many fans, who were initially afraid of the touch of snobbery and feigned intelligence, subsequently positively assessed Miron as a friendly and open-to-communication person, devoid of prejudices and feigned rudeness.

Fedorov Miron Yanovich is an unknown person, but one has only to name his creative pseudonym Oksimiron, and everything falls into place. The guy has established himself as a singer known throughout the world and incredibly in demand in Russia, who raps and freestyles. Miron managed to give his fans and aspiring performers a new style of music - grime, which is performed at a rhythm of one hundred and forty beats per minute.

In addition to his career in the musical field, Oksimiron is engaged in entrepreneurial activity, since he owns his own prestigious booking agency “Booking Machine”. Miron starred in the fantasy film Empire V, but so far this is his only work.

Fans strive to clarify what physical characteristics the famous rapper has, including height, weight, age. How old Oksimiron is is not difficult to find out, since the guy’s date of birth is known.

Oksimiron: photos in his youth and now are similar, since the rapper was born in 1985, and he was only thirty-three years old. At the same time, the zodiac circle endowed him with character traits characteristic of Aquarius, namely, daydreaming, creative inclinations, an excellent sense of humor, and charisma.

The eastern horoscope gave Myron the sign of a persistent, ambitious, stable, able-bodied and cheerful Ox.

Height young man is only a meter and eighty-one centimeters, and Oksimiron weighs seventy-five kilos.

Biography and personal life of Oksimiron

Oksimiron’s biography and personal life are incredibly confusing and contradictory, since the guy’s secrecy gives rise to a sea of ​​rumors. The fact is that the guy was born in St. Petersburg, but soon ended up in Germany.

Father - Yan Fedorov - is a fairly famous person in the vastness Soviet Union. He was a famous physicist, and a certified nuclear practitioner, but his mother was not so eminent, since she worked as a librarian.

In 1994, the family moved to Germany. Because his father, nine-year-old Miron, was offered to teach at the University of Essen. The boy entered the Wechtler school, which seemed like hell to him after the St. Petersburg school. Because he didn't know German language and was attacked by classmates who considered Myron below their level.

The boy had no friends, but found an outlet in turnips; at the age of thirteen, Miron began publishing lyrics under the pseudonym MC MYTH. Already at fifteen, the move took place again, this time to England. But in a disadvantaged area, among drug addicts and difficult teenagers, the guy felt more confident than among the rich.

At an English school, the teacher noticed that the boy was smarter than he wanted to appear, so she advised him to enroll in the Faculty of English Literature at Oxford. He managed to graduate from this higher educational institution, but only with the lowest grades, since the boy was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

After this, the young man rented a small room on the outskirts of London and tried to get a job, but he worked at a construction site, travel agency, a loader, gave private lessons and wrote articles for writers. In 2015, the series “Londongrad” was filmed about Miron’s life, the soundtrack to which was performed by Oksimiron himself.

The guy began his creative activity in 2008, but did not go beyond demo videos on the Internet.

Starting next year, Miron actively participates in hip-hop battles, and since 2011, music albums and mixtapes have been released. From 2009 to 2017, the young man traveled all over the world on twelve concert tours, in which he found a huge number of admirers.

Oksimiron’s personal life is full of mystery, one thing is certain: the guy has always had a huge number of girls. Many of them simply say that they had an affair with the rapper, but it exists only in words. For example, for many years there were rumors that the guy had a relationship with Sonya Dukk and her mother-in-law, Grese.

Sophia Dukk is the guy’s only confirmed romance, since on the Internet you can find a sea of ​​personal and rather homely photos of the couple. The girl is a blogger under the nickname Sonya Elektropanda, she lives in St. Petersburg and is six years younger than Miron.

At the same time, there is information about the rapper’s romance with Sonya Grese, who actively uses social networks and constantly puts forward rather strange theories, including KSA.

Sonya and Miron do not advertise their relationship or comment on it, since the girl does not want to make a career at the expense of her more successful boyfriend. Although many people claim that Grese was never the rapper’s passion, she is simply confused with the previous girl. Sometimes it is assumed that a man and a woman were simply friends or crossed paths at concerts, but there was never love between them.

Oksimiron's family and children

Oksimiron’s family and children are also a mystery, shrouded in darkness, since the guy rarely opens his soul wide open. The fact is that his parents could not help the guy develop as a performer of rap songs, but they never prevented their child from developing in his own way.

At the same time, in the incompatible union of a nuclear physicist and a librarian there was a warm relationship, they loved each other and always understood. Miron often says that the union of his parents is the ideal relationship between a man and a woman. By the way, neither the mother nor the father comments on the personal life and not always censored creativity of their son, because they believe that he has the right to build his own life.

Oksimiron has no children, at least their existence has not been officially proven. The fact is that Myron does not yet have a beloved girl from whom he would like to have heirs, but everything is still ahead.

Oksimiron's wife

Oksimiron’s wife is a mythical person; there is so much conflicting information about her that it is impossible to find the truth. The thing is that the guy has never been seen with one girl. But once in his song he mentioned that “you would be completely stupefied, seeing how I live with my wife in a one-room kennel.” Of course, the song “Yeti and Children” cannot contain exclusively reliable facts, since the guy has the right to fantasize and lie for the sake of rhyme.

On the Internet you can find information that Miron got married in 2007, but a year later he divorced, leaving ex-wife in London. At the same time, the photos with the unknown lady did not manage to get onto the World Wide Web; they remained in the guy’s personal archives.

From time to time, using the tag about Oksimiron’s wife, you can actually find fraudulent or photoshopped photographs that supposedly show his significant other, but the guy does not confirm them.

Instagram and Wikipedia Oksimiron

Oksimiron’s Instagram and Wikipedia exist in official mode, since fans of the rapper constantly demand new, up-to-date information about their favorite. On Wikipedia you can actually find quite detailed information about his childhood, the difficulties of living outside the country, mental disorder and education, creativity and battles. At the same time, there is absolutely no information about the man’s personal life and children, since, apart from rumors, there is no data about this.

The Instagram profile has 1,800,000 followers, and the Twitter page has 1,310,000 fans. The posts posted on these social networks duplicate each other. They are dedicated to his creative activities, hobbies and communication with fans who are ready to comment and evaluate the reliable information posted.

Oksimiron, aka Fedorov Miron Yanovich, is a recognizable and revered MC not only in Russia, but also abroad, who moved to Germany in his youth. He achieved fame thanks to his extraordinary polysyllabic rhymes, rather witty metaphors and high vocabulary. Many domestic fans perceive him as an innovator of the grime genre.

Childhood

Miron Fedorov saw the light of day in one of the maternity hospitals in St. Petersburg. It happened on January 31, 1985. The future rapper was born into the family of a physicist father and a librarian mother. In 1993, the family emigrated to Germany. In the city of Ruettenscheid, Miron’s father was given an apartment for a small fee, located near the university, where he later began teaching. The Fedorovs were practically the only Russian-speaking family in this place, so the boy was not always able to find a common language with his peers at school, and he began to appear more and more often in Kray, where he could communicate with the Turks.

Studying at the Maria-Waechtler Schule was not easy for Miron, and it was not only that he did not know the language: his classmates were the children of wealthy doctors, legal experts and economists. If you believe the rapper’s words, besides him there was not a single poor emigrant in the class, this became the cause of constant conflicts between fellow students. Over time, Oksimiron even wrote the song “Last Call” on this topic, a kind of anthem for the feature film “Class”.

Youth

Moving to Germany was not the only one for Miron. In the fall of 2000, his family emigrated to London. The 15-year-old boy, who never finished school, had to join a new society again, this time in the city of Slough, a real hotbed of gangsterism and drug addiction. Despite the people around him, it was here that Miron Fedorov decided to study in depth school curriculum, as he was recommended to try to enter Oxford University by passing the entrance exams and writing an essay.

Finally, luck was on the side of the future rap artist: in 2004, Oksimiron became a student at Oxford, choosing to major in Medieval English Literature. Studying was not easy for the rapper: the reason for everything was still financial situation families. Despite all the difficulties, 4 years of study were not in vain, and Miron Fedorov finally received a higher education, but with a diploma in literary criticism and... minimal grades.

First job

After graduating from Oxford, Miron decided to rent an apartment in one of the remote areas of London (he touched on this period of life more than once in his works) and even tried to find suitable job. In fact, it turned out that nothing good was foreseen for a graduate of Oxford University without the necessary connections, and also with low grades. As a result, the rapper makes a difficult decision and gets a job in construction. Miron Fedorov and his wife needed money, which was so necessary for their existence and the realization of their creative ambitions. Subsequently, he earned money as a tutor, entertainer, guide, loader, office employee, and even for a short period of time was a “literary black.”

How did the rapper's musical career begin?

Miron Fedorov began sharing his demo recordings with the general public on the Internet in 2008 under the pseudonym Oxxxymiron, a combination of his real name and the literary term “oxymoron.” The triple X indicated the generous use of obscene language in the artist's tracks.

In 2009, at the 14th independent hip-hop competition, Miron performed compositions in the rounds “In the Country of Women,” “Magician’s Box,” and “No Communication,” which were recognized as the best. He also managed to win in the categories “Breakthrough Battle”, “Best Sparring” and even “Best MC”. In the semi-finals, Oksimiron could not outshine the rapper Babangida, although many listeners were indignant at this outcome of the tournament.

After the battle, representatives of Optik Records became interested in Miron Fedorov. Thanks to this, the rapper met Dmitry Hinter. This acquaintance served as the beginning of a fruitful, albeit short-lived creative union.

At the same time, close cooperation with Optic Russia began, even the first video “I am a hater” appeared, which received a lot of positive reviews. In August 2010, Oksimiron made a decision: to leave the label of the German rap company and continue to work solo.

Vagabund and disagreements with “Caste”

After leaving Optik Russia in the summer of 2010, Oksimiron began to think about creating a new label called Vagabund, which means “Wanderer” in German. In the fall, Fedorov and Dmitry Hinter go on a tour around the country. At this time, the slogan “Censor Caste!” was born, which later became the personification of the Vagabund.

According to the main version, this slogan appeared during a performance by Hinter and Fedorov in one of the Ukrainian clubs, when the group “Casta” was supposed to perform in a nearby establishment. The Ukrainian monopolist organizer of Russian rap concerts “Nota” made attempts to prevent Vagabund from performing for fear of losing part of the audience from the “Casta” concert. This is what gave rise to the slogan, which was quickly picked up by Oksimiron fans.

In the fall of 2011, Miron Fedorov, Dmitry Hinter and Vanya Lenin created a label under which two albums were released on the same day: “The Eternal Jew” and “From the High Road”, after which Vagabund set off on a joint journey through the CIS countries.

Leaving Vagabund

On October 20, 2011, Roma Zhigan and 10 other people showed up at the rented apartment where Oksimiron and Dmitry Hinter (Schokk) were staying to sort out long-standing relationships. The showdown also affected Fedorov, although he had nothing to do with the old accounts of Zhigan and Hinter. After some time, Schokk left Russia alone, making several video messages. After such events, Oksimiron decided to leave Vagabund and break all ties with Hinter.

In 2011, on November 6, Miron Fedorov, whose biography is riddled with constant trials, gives the last acapella concert of his trip to the CIS countries and returns to London. From that moment on, Vagabund continued its existence without Oksimiron.

Miron Fedorov: personal life

The rapper hides information about his personal life from the press. What is known is that in his youth he was married, but is currently divorced. In 2014, fans came to the conclusion that Miron was in a relationship with Sonya Grese. Such conclusions were made on the basis of joint photographs that periodically appeared on the Internet. After some time, the couple broke up, and the question: “Does Oksimiron have a girlfriend?” - still remains relevant and worries many fans.

Miron Fedorov tries to hide almost all information about his personal life. The rapper does not disclose his height, weight, or the presence or absence of children, but he is not averse to communicating with fans on social networks and taking pictures with fans.

1. Miron Fedorov is the owner of the track, which was read by his grandparents.
2. The rapper's mouth never utters the word "eat."
3. For a long time, Miron’s tracks did not contain profanity.
4. Thanks to Oksimiron’s efforts, such performers as BLANK, Jubilee and Johnyboy became famous.
5. The clip “I am a hater” received 357,000 views on the Youtube video hosting site, “Sometimes thick, sometimes empty” - 650,000, and Russian Cockney - 260,000.
6. For some time, the rapper used a smartphone from BlackBerry (model 9300).
7. First educational institution Miron was Leningrad school No. 185.
8. No life circumstances will force Fedorov to reveal the real essence of the metaphors used in his tracks.

Oksimiron today

Today, Miron Fedorov, whose photos are shown in this material, is the first Russian-speaking rapper to successfully adapt and popularize British grime. He was quite deservedly nicknamed the “Russian grime sensation.”

Oksimiron’s second album was supposed to be released back in 2012, but the long-awaited event took place only in November 2015. The album "Gorgorod", consisting of 11 compositions, tells about a writer named Mark, so it is better to listen to them in order.

In June 2016, the battle between Oksimiron and ST took place. On June 19 of the same year, their Versusa video appeared on the Youtube video hosting site, gaining more than 5 million views in the first three days.

Oxxxymiron (Oksimiron; real name Miron Yanovich Fedorov; genus. January 31, Leningrad, USSR) - Russian-language rap, grime, freestyle performer and executive director of the booking agency Booking Machine. One of the founders and former member of the Vagabund label.

Biography

Miron Fedorov was born on January 31, 1985 in Leningrad. His father, Yan Valerievich Fedorov, a theoretical physicist, defended his doctoral dissertation in 1994 on the topic “Statistical properties of eigenfunctions of random single-particle Hamiltonians.” Mother is a librarian. He studied at St. Petersburg school No. 185. When Miron was 9 years old, his family moved to the city of Essen (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany), and Miron entered the Maria-Wächtler-Gymnasium ru de). According to him, he had tense relations with his German classmates; this theme was later reflected in his early song "Last Call". Miron made his first attempts to rap at the age of 13 under the pseudonym Myth (short for MIron Fedorov).

We had a group, the name of which I forgot, it consisted of Myth and Saga. Saga never wrote a single line and was subsequently scrapped. And I came up with Russian rap. That is, I was naturally sure that I was the first person to rap in Russian (I didn’t have the Internet, and there were still quite a few Russian-speaking emigrants in Germany who could shake my confidence at that time). Oksimiron for Keep It Real

After one of his trips to his homeland at the age of 14, Miron’s confidence that he was the founder of rap in Russian disappeared.

At the age of 15, the family moved to the city of Slough (Berkshire, UK), and here, no longer having problems with classmates, he began to study hard. Soon, an English history teacher - a graduate of Oxford University - suggested that he try to enter Oxford after graduating from school. In 2004, after submitting documents and passing an interview, Miron entered the university at the Faculty of English Language and Literature.

I spoke a mixture of so-called "royal" and book English with a German accent. I listened to American rap, so I used a lot of slang expressions. I said words like "innit" during my interview at Oxford - I think that's one of the reasons they accepted me. Original text(English) My English was a mixture of Queen's English, bookish English and a German accent. I listened to American rap as well, so I was using a lot of slang words. I was saying thing like "innit" during my interview for Oxford - I think that"s part of the reason they took me.

After studying at Oxford, Myron moved to the East End and began looking for work. Due to “over-qualification” he was unable to find a job in his profession. According to the rapper, he “worked as a cashier, translator, loader, guide, stall keeper, tutor, entertainer, office plankton and consultant with a hoof.” A new social circle, consisting of Russian-speaking emigrants, pushed Miron to return to hip-hop. He began making music under the pseudonym “Oxxxymiron”, which appeared as a combination of the name with the literary term “oxymoron” (English oxymoron) and a triple “X”, referring to a large amount of obscene vocabulary in the songs [ ] .

In 2015, the series Londongrad was released, created under the leadership of screenwriter Mikhail Idov based on the adventures of Miron in London.

"The Eternal Jew", Vagabund (2011)

In the summer of 2010, after leaving Optik Russia, Miron developed and nurtured the idea of ​​​​creating a new independent label with the symbolic name Vagabund (with German-  “Wanderer”). In the autumn of the same year, Miron and Schokk went on a small tour of the CIS countries, which was called “October Events”. By the fall of 2011, Oxxxymiron, Schokk and Ivan “Vanya Lenin” Karoly (as manager) created a label, under which the albums “From the Main Road” by Schokk and “The Eternal Jew” by Miron were released, which received a large number of positive reviews. Both albums were released on the same day, September 15, 2011, and Vagabund went on a joint tour throughout the CIS countries. On October 30 he gives his last concert as part of the Vagabund team, with the participation of Kripl. On November 1, 2011, after the Vagabund Conflict with Roma Zhigan, Oksimiron announced his departure from the label, after which on November 6 he gave a free solo a cappella concert in Moscow, which ended his tour, and went to London.

On August 8, Miron announced that he was postponing the release of his second studio album indefinitely, although the release was previously scheduled for August 14, 2014.

"Gorgorod" (2015) - present time

On April 12, 2015, season 3 of Versus Battle started. The first release was the battle Oxxxymiron vs. Johnyboy, in which Oxxxymiron won a landslide victory, all judges voted for Miron. The battle itself received 1 million views on YouTube within 24 hours, which became a record for battle views. With this, Oxxxymiron attracted the attention of the organizers of the Canadian battle King of the Dot and one of the best battle MCs in the world - Dizaster.

On August 25, 2015, the premiere of the video for the song “Londongrad”, written specifically for the series of the same name, took place. On September 21, the premiere of the video for the song “City Under the Sole” took place, which had previously been performed only at concerts. On November 13, 2015, a new album, called “Gorgorod”, was posted on official page VKontakte Mirona for free download.

On June 19, 2016, Oxxxymiron took part in a battle against the rapper, the battle ended with a score of 3:0 in Miron’s favor. This is the only Russian-language battle that was blocked on YouTube.

On June 28, 2017, it became known that Oxxxymiron became the face of the Reebok Classic brand in Russia. In February 2017, Miron Fedorov headed the booking agency Booking Machine, with which he has been collaborating since 2012.

On August 6, 2017, as part of the 2nd season of Versus x #SlovoSPB, the most anticipated rap battle of 2017 took place - Oxxxymiron vs Slava KPSS (Gnoiny) . For some time there were rumors that Gnoyny won the competition. The conflict between the rappers began after the battle of Ernesto Shut Up against Gnoyny in July 2016, where the latter devoted almost his entire second round to Oksimiron, accusing him of hypocrisy and calling him a “hype-hungry pig.” The next day, Miron Fedorov challenged Gnoyny to a battle in 2017. The day before the publication of the video, Vyacheslav, on behalf of his alter ego Valentin Dyadka, published a mocking track “Cool my ardor,” which is dedicated to Oksimiron, and also mocked him on Twitter. After the publication of the issue on August 13, the rumors were confirmed: Miron’s opponent defeated him with a score of 5:0. The video became resonant and received more than 10 million views in the first 24 hours after its publication.

Scandals and incidents

Conflict with the “Casta” group

During the October Events tour in 2010, the slogan “Fuck Caste!” appeared, which would later personify Vagabund. The main version of the appearance of this slogan is as follows: during the performance of Shock and Oxy in one of the clubs in Ukraine, the group “Casta” was about to perform in a nearby club in the city. The Ukrainian monopolist organizer of Russian rap concerts “Nota” tried to prevent the performance of Oxy and Shock for fear that the latter would take part of the audience away from the “Casta” concerts. Just after this, Schokk and Oxxxymiron chanted the above slogan at all their joint concerts and even in their tracks. This was quickly picked up by their fans. On July 21, 2012, after leaving Vagabund, Oksimiron took part in the “Afisha Picnic” music festival. At the same time, rapper Vladi from the group “Casta” took part in the “Picnic”. According to “Casta” member Shym, Miron apologized to the group for statements made in their direction and shook everyone’s hands.

Conflict with Roma Zhigan

On October 20, 2011, taking advantage of the opportunity of Vagabund being in Moscow during a tour of the CIS countries, rapper Roman Chumakov, better known as Roma Zhigan, burst into their rented apartment, accompanied by ten people. The purpose of the visit is to find out the reasons for Schokk’s repeated attacks towards Zhigan in the tracks. Roman, threatening with a weapon (according to Hinter), forced his opponent to beg for forgiveness on his knees, while hitting him in the face several times. Shortly after the incident, Schokk left the country alone and made several video messages, to which Miron responded with a video in which he explained his point of view on what happened and announced his intention to leave Vagabund and sever all ties with Schokk.

After the incident, Miron remained in good relations with Roma Zhigan and even starred in his film. After publicity, this event took first place under the slogan “Attack of a flock of bream on Vagabund” on the Hip-hop.ru portal in the ranking “Event of the Year - 2011”.

Rap.ru

On October 20, 2011, in the midst of the Vagabund tour in the CIS, Schokk and Oxxxymiron were invited to the program What's Up, aired on the Rap.ru TV channel. The conversation as such did not take place, and relations between Rap.ru and the Vagabund members remained tense.

In March 2012, Oxxxymiron was invited to the Stadium RUMA (Russian Urban Music Awards) music ceremony, organized by the portal Rap.ru, with which Miron had previously had a tense relationship. During the performance, a masked double came on stage while the performer himself remained backstage. While the double was gesticulating to the soundtrack on stage, Miron wrote on his Twitter: “I’m sitting and re-reading Dostoevsky’s “Double…”.

Conflict with Bird

In January 2015, one of the members of the “Centr” group, Ptah, gave an interview to Chita.ru, in which he spoke impartially about Miron’s work and his listeners

At the moment I can say that I am ashamed of Russian rap. Now there are a lot of incomprehensible rappers - they rhyme well, they have technique, but there is no rap in them. They are not representatives of hip-hop culture, they are mainstream people who make money from it. For them it is a business and nothing more. They have never been in this culture, they have not been exposed to this Russian culture. There are some visiting, damn it, rappers from Europe who used to humiliate Russian rap, and now they rap in Russian, like Oxxxymiron. And people listen to them. I saw their listeners, God forbid that I have such Bird for the city portal Chita.Ru.

In the track “Deja Vu” released in April, Oxxxymiron mentioned Ptah: “Bird says I don’t have rap in me. / Okay, there’s no Bird in my rap!” In response, a member of the Centr group threatened to explain to Miron “who should not be touched in the verses.”

Conflict with LSP

In the summer of 2015, LSP, who had been signed a year before to Booking Machine with the assistance of Oksimiron, ceased cooperation with the concert agency, explaining that, in his opinion, after signing, the small number of concerts that had previously came to naught. On April 1, 2016, Porchy’s song “Imperial” (translated from English- “Imperial”), which was originally planned to be included in the tracklist of his mixtape King Midas and in which Oleg talks about what he thinks about his former booking agency.

The song, originally a duet between LSP and Porchy, ends at the chorus performed by Oleg with an address from Porchy and - after it - a sharp introduction by an added guest in the person of Oksimiron, who issues a diss in response. “A whole drama, a clash between two heroes of a generation,” is how The Flow described the song.

According to Miron in a video message that followed shortly after the song, he helped Oleg and Roma the Englishman in every possible way, persuaded Ilya Mamai to sign them up for Booking Machine and forgave them for their antics. When they left the concert agency, in a personal conversation with Oleg after filming the “Madness” video, Miron asked not to advertise this event, but after some time he and Roma Englishman, touching on this topic in an interview with Rap.ru, covered it with noticeable disdain to his former agency. After some time, at the request of Porchy for a mixtape King Midas LSP sent a verse with a “snick” diss to Booking Machine. Porchy and Oxxxymiron decided to “teach” LSP a lesson, and Miron added a third verse, aimed at the offender “more than the family.”
