Rapper Guf: biography, personal life, photo. Guf (Alexey Dolmatov) - biography, information, personal life Guf confession faith

The famous rapper Guf, named Alexei Dolmatov, found more popularity not because of his music, but because, being alive, he became a “dead hero”.

He also became famous not only for the fact that he was constantly buried by the media and fans, but also for the fact that there are too many references to drugs in his works. Guf was a soloist in the CENTR group. In addition, the artist created a label called ZM Nation.

Rumors of death

In January 2011, there was a rumor that the rapper died during a terrorist attack in Domodedovo along with rapper Basta. At that time, everyone believed only in the death of Dolmatov. There has been a lot of controversy around the rumors. This information was quickly refuted, but in a short time, Internet users created a meme on this topic.

After some time, a new rumor appeared. Some media published information that the CENTR group had a car accident in which Dolmatov and another guy died. One was severely injured and ended up in intensive care. The group's producers have officially stated that nothing of the sort happened and that all members are safe and sound.

Over the past 5 years, Guf has already died several times. Some fans, or vice versa, competitors attributed the death to the artist from drugs. Several times in the press there was information about a terrible car accident in which the rapper died. In one of the albums, the singer, together with his group, released a track that was dedicated to these inventions. Several times it was said about the death of colleagues in the Dolmatov group.
Currently, in many social networks and Internet resources there is allegedly confirmed information about the death of a famous artist. Of course, this is not true. To date, the artist has many concerts and meetings planned.

Who needs rumors about the death of Guf

No one knows who is spreading these rumors. There are many versions of what is behind this. Some believe that the artist himself spreads these rumors so that they do not forget him and talk about it. Some people think that behind them are people from their PR department, who are used to composing any information so that their client is recognizable.

Some believe that the spread of rumors is just a game of fans who love black humor.

The artist himself shows that he treats such rumors with irony. Like all members of the group, he laughs at these gossip and says that if this happens, then the fans will certainly immediately find out the confirmed information. The artist himself hopes that such a situation will not happen for a long time.

Guf or Guf - one of the most extraordinary and famous Russian rappers with a rather confusing biography, was born on 09/23/1979 in one of the capital's maternity hospitals.

Childhood

With his biological father, who was born and subsequently lived in Rostov-on-Don, the mother of Alexei Dolmatov (real name of the artist) broke up before the birth of his son. Actually, the boy found out about his very existence already in his teens, during one of the serious scandals with his adoptive father about his behavior.

Lesha's early childhood passed in Moscow, mainly under the supervision of his grandmother, as his parents worked hard and had almost no opportunity to raise their son. Grandmother did not have a soul in him, and the boy often abused this, skipping school and spending most of his time with friends in the yard.

In high school, a surprise awaited him. The parents were assigned to China and soon took their son to live with them. There he spent a total of about 7 years. He graduated from high school, managed to master Chinese well and even entered a local university. But there he first tried drugs and quickly became addicted to them.

According to strict Chinese laws, it was easy not only to go to jail for the use and even more so the distribution of drugs, but also literally lose your life - some of the articles provide for the death penalty. Tired of fighting his son's addiction and fearing for his future, his parents send him back to Moscow.

Career

Who knows how long Guf would have lasted in a drug dope if he had not become seriously interested in music. He tried to write rap as a teenager. Returning from China, he decided to record his first composition "Chinese Wall", which somehow got into the rotation of several Moscow radio stations and brought him fame in the capital.

Inspired by the first success, Alexey creates the Rollexx duet with his friend Roman and begins to perform wherever possible. The guys are gradually gaining fame, their fees begin to grow steadily and often they become guests of large Moscow parties. The first success really turned their heads.

But here, against the background of the stellar illness that has overcome the guys, a destructive passion flares up with renewed vigor. And since it is easy to get any drugs in Moscow, and not just the light ones that Lesha dabbled in China, then for a long two years he is completely immersed in a narcotic dope, taking away a fair amount of health and more than one year of life from his beloved grandmother.

Only in 2002, he realizes that all dreams are rapidly flying downhill and tries to "tie up". He starts composing again and decides to create a solo album, in which the pseudonym Guf has already been used. But while the work was going on, he met other talented guys, and they are trying to perform together.

In 2004, together with Princip Guf, he opened a new project "Center". He records several discs for his own money, copies of which were presented at a New Year's party to close friends.

Discs begin to be replicated, and guys are invited to perform at prestigious clubs. A little later, two more members joined the group: Ptaha and Slim's, and in this line-up the team even began to tour successfully. Everything seemed to fit perfectly...

But now the problems with the law begin at the Principle. However, all members of the group continue to indulge in drugs, which periodically causes scandals and even disruptions in some performances. Guf again begins to think about a solo project, and in 2009 he finally leaves the group.

In 2010 he presents the solo project ZM Nation. The debut album immediately took off to the top steps of the charts, but lasted there only a few months. However, this did not upset Guf too much, since a new project was already being prepared for the release.

To date, he is one of the most popular rap and hip-hop artists who has released 10 solo albums and has taken an active part in the recording of almost fifty more with other performers in these areas.

Personal life

His old love Aiza Vagapova helped Guf to finally give up drugs, who set a categorical condition - she or "nonsense". For the sake of his beloved, Guf went through the most severe withdrawal and began a solo career. In 2008, she finally officially became his wife, and a year later the couple had an heir - a little "Gufik", as they jokingly call him.

With Aiza Vagapova

Until 2013, they were considered the perfect rapper couple, which is a rarity. But later, serious scandals began in the family, and their reason was that Guf began to use drugs again. However, there are other rumors that each of the spouses has new lovers. But the matter has not yet reached the official divorce.

Alexey Dolmatov, better known as rapper Guf, was born into a family with difficult relationships. At the age of three, his father left the family, and his stepfather appeared in his place. Then Guf was brought up by his grandmother for several years - his parents were on a business trip in China. The boy's behavior became drug-related, and his parents took him to China. From the age of 12, he lived there with them, graduated from high school, entered a university, but since he was engaged in the reception and dealing of drugs, he was forced to return to Moscow (China has strict laws on this).

He received a higher economic education, in the same period he struggled with drug addiction, from which music helped to escape.

Guf recorded the first track "Chinese Wall" in 1998, but became famous two years later. He went to prison for 5 months for drugs and, having been released under an amnesty, he gathered the hip-hop group Rolexx with his friend Roman. Then he chose the pseudonym Guf aka Rolexx, which he later reduced to one word.

In 2004, Guf created the Centr group and recorded the first album, Gift, a tiny edition of which he gave to friends. Some songs are about drugs.

In 2006, the track "Gossip" was released, in which his own grandmother took part (she died in 2013). At the same time, a duet with Basta appeared - "Own Game" - and the group's second album - "Ether is Normal".

In 2007, he released the album "City of Roads" and the album "Swing" jointly with the group. In 2009, Guf left the Centr group, and a year later he recorded the album Basta / Guf in collaboration with a friend. In the same year he received the Russian Sweet Awards, and in 2011 - the Muz-TV Award.

Guf began to give concerts in Moscow. In 2011, he was arrested for drugs, only marijuana was found in his blood and released. A year later, he was expelled from the Gasgolder label, and Basta said that Guf had never been a member of it. In December 2012, Guf released his solo album Sam and....

The rapper continued to engage in creativity. In 2015, he released the album "More", in 2016 - "System", in 2017 - Gusli and Gusli II (joint work with rapper Slim). In the same year, he shot a video for the song "Generation" together with Timati.

In February 2018, Guf took part in a rap battle with Bird and won.

In an interview with Yuri Dudyu, he said that he had given up drugs.

Guf's personal life

Rapper Guf did not flaunt his private life. He met with singer Aiza Vagapova (now Anokhina) and married her in 2008. On May 5, 2010, their son Sami was born, and in 2014 the couple divorced. During their life together, Isa pulled him out of drug addiction more than once.

Since 2016, Guf has been dating singer Keti Topuria, the soloist of A-Studio. In 2018, the couple broke up: a young girl, Yana Shevtsova, a member of House-2, became pregnant from him. But then Guf and Keti started dating again. As of summer 2019, their relationship is on pause.

Guf entered the hip-hop world in 2000 as part of the band rolexx , whose name comes from the names of the project participants: Roma and Lyosha.

It was after participating in the Rolexx group that Alexei became known as Guf. However, he used the band's name as his main pseudonym until 2005. How Guf aka Rolexx Alexey is listed on the back of the package of the CD with the album "Turtle Runs" by the group "Negative Influence", released in 2005. In 2006, on subsequent albums, for which the rapper wrote guest verses or participated in skits, including Floors and Basta 2, Dolmatov was already designated as Guf.

Guf wrote his first track called "Chinese Wall" at the age of 19. He first sounded on the radio "2000". However, this was followed by a forced creative break due to drugs.

Since 2002 Guf has been working on his debut album. In the same year, with the song "Wedding", his collaboration with Slim began, which at that time was a member of the "Smoke Screen" group.

2003–2009: Centr group

Realizing the need to move on, Guf, together with Nikolai Princip, created the Centr group in 2004. In this composition, they released the first demo album called "Gift". The circulation was only 13 copies, which were presented to the closest friends for the New Year.

In the creative life of Guf there is another bright character - his grandmother Tamara Konstantinovna, known to fans of Guf's work as Original Ba XX. The whole country recognized her from the track "Gossip". The song "Original Ba" from the album "City of Roads", in which she even takes part, tells about their relationship, about her character. “She will easily dance to you under Sean Paul,” reads Guf. But in the fall of 2013, my grandmother dies of cardiac arrest.

Many of Guf's early songs are about drugs, and it was these songs that became his "calling card" in the rap community, forming a new specific style. Guf used hard drugs, as he himself said about it, but now he has completely abandoned them.

In 2006, the song "Gossip" was released. In the same year, Ren-TV for the documentary "Drug Users" (Russian. drug users) from the cycle "Project Reflection" a video was shot for the equally popular composition "New Year", in which Slim and Ptaha participate. Guf is recording a duet with the Rostov rapper Basta - a song called "My Game". A video clip was also shot for the song "Traffic", recorded with the participation of Smokey Mo and which was included in the second album of the Centr group called "Ether is OK".

In April 2007, the album "City of Roads" was released. In addition, the artist begins an active concert activity. On October 25, the album "Swing" by the Centr group, of which he is a member, is released. In the fall of 2008, the Centr group, together with Basta, won the Hip-Hop nomination at the MTV Russia RMA award.

In 2009, he dubbed one of the characters in the American cartoon "9" - a one-eyed doll named "Fifth". In the original, the character was voiced by actor John C. Reilly.

In August 2009, Guf left the Centr group after a quarrel with Slim and Bird. He stated this in his interview. Despite this, in the fall of 2009, a video was shot for the song “Is It Easy to Be Young” from the album “Air is Normal”. Guf is filming for this clip separately from the rest of the band.

Guf creates a new label - ZM Nation.

From September to December, solo albums of all members of the Centr group are released. Guf's solo album "At Home" was released on December 1, 2009.

2009–2012: Collaboration with Basta and "Sam and..."

At the end of 2009, information appears about a joint album with Basta, which should be released in September 2010. Dates change after each Guf / Basta interview, in September 2010, official information appears that the album will be presented on October 23.

On November 10, 2010, Guf's joint album with Basta was released under the name "Basta / Guf". The presentation took place on December 25.

On July 21, 2011, a big concert of Basta and Guf took place at the Green Theater; according to Basta's Twitter post, more than 8,000 people gathered there.

On September 9, 2011, the FSKN announced the detention of Guf. In the analyzes of Guf, traces of marijuana were found and he was released.

On July 19, 2012, the third big summer concert of Basta and Guf took place at the Green Theater.

On November 1, 2012, Guf's third solo album "Sam and..." was posted for free download on the hip-hop portal Rap.ru.

On December 30, Guf was expelled from the list of artists of the TO "Gazgolder", although, according to his wife Aiza, the joint work was stopped back in 2011. On December 28, an interview was posted on Rap.ru from Basta’s “squeezed” answers to questions from listeners, among which was the statement that Guf had never been an artist on the label: “He did not sign a contract with us, we just took part in the work. From the New Year, it will probably stop.” Since August 2013, he has been divorced from his wife Aiza. Currently dating actress and singer Leroy Kondra, who took part in the video "For her".

2013–present: 420

On April 20, the day of cannabis use, Guf, together with dancehall musician Rigos, a member of the St. Petersburg group True Jamaican Crew, released the single "420", foreshadowing a joint release scheduled for early 2014. On March 4, 2014, the premiere of the song "Industry" took place, in which the rapper speaks on the topic of rap battles, including mentioning the organizer and host of Versus Battle.

Reconciliation with Slim and Bird

On October 24, 2013, Guf releases a new song and, along with it, a video clip called "Sad", where he explains the reason for the collapse of the Centr group:

A mysterious photo appears on Slim's Instagram, along with a comment to it, where Guf is visible in outline, and a few lines to the photo. And so, in 2014, the song “Winter” appeared on the album of the Caspian Gruz group with guest verses by Guf and Slim. In a subsequent interview for Rap.ru, the Caspian Gruz reveal that the track was put together with the consent of both ex-members of the Centr group. But later, a lot of different guesses appear on the network that the band members will record more tracks, in one of the interviews Guf states that a joint concert of the band is possible, nothing more; The bird says the same. However, on April 27, 2014, a joint composition with Guf called “Killer City” appears on the Borer’s album “On the Bottoms”.

The current rap star was born, as he repeatedly mentioned in his songs, in Moscow. This event took place in 1979. 23 September. Guf began to study in Moscow, but after moving with his parents to China, Alexei Dolmatov (Gufu) had to continue his studies there. As a result, it turned out that Alexei graduated from 2 universities: Chinese and Russian.

Guf began to get involved in rap from an early age. Guf wrote his first track ("Chinese Wall") when he was 19 years old. At the age of 21, Alexey Dolmatov appeared in the Rolex-X group, which he created together with his classmate Roman, known as Marlin. By the way, the name of the cereal consists of their names.

In 2002, Guf set about creating his first album and, thanks to the song "Wedding", began to collaborate with Slim (Slim). In 2004, Guf, together with the Principle, founded the CENTR group (Center). Together they write an album called "Gift", which really became a New Year's gift to the closest people.

2006 was a fateful year for Alexei Dolmatov - his song "Gossip" was a huge success among ordinary people (a little later, the Center group will perform this song at the corporate party of the Life newspaper, which will be attended by the celebrities mentioned in the song), Ren- Tv shot a video for the song "New Year's" and, in addition, Guf recorded the future hit "My Game" with Basta. All these events made Guf famous. In April 2007, the album "City of Roads" was released, which brings Guf "incredible popularity. And a little later, the album of the group" Tsetr "" Swing "is released.

On August 6, 2008, Alexey Sergeevich Dolmatov marries Aiza Vagapova, who helped him get rid of drug addiction. A year later, Guf leaves the Center group, while fulfilling all obligations under the contract. Because of this event, the question "Why did the Center collapse?" began to torment many people, but no one gave a clear answer, although some assumptions can be made by listening to the diss (a track in which the rapper shows his disrespect for another rapper) Gufa "One Hundred Lines" and Slima's response diss "Spice baby". Although these will only be assumptions and a clear answer to “Why did the Center collapse?” we are unlikely to ever hear.

In 2010 Gufa had a son, who was named Sami. In the same year, Guf won the nomination for the best artist of the year, it happened at the Russian Street Awards 2010.

An interesting fact from the life of Alexei Dolmatov:
In addition to rap, as it turned out, Guf is a fan of football and is a fan of the English football team Liverpool.
