30 Fascinating Videos/Films/Series About Russian Hip-Hop and Popular Culture You Should Know About!


Although not an exhaustive list, plenty more examples exist out there, here are but 30 chief opportunities to learn more about Russian hip-hop and the community that makes it run!

While broadcasted coverage of Russian hip-hop culture isn't anything new, per say, the fact that films and YouTube series, self-created biographies and personal accounts is a fascinating trend. Some of these videos are pedagogical, documentorial, historical, or all the above. Yet, the constant is that they show the human face behind the public persona of the rapper.
