Краткая биография Big Baby Tape

Настоящее имя Big Baby Tape — Егор Ракитин. Он родился 5 января 2000 года в подмосковном Зябликово. От родителей он ушел в возрасте 11 лет, юность провел с бабушкой. Чтобы не попасть в армию, Ракитин поступил в колледж, но вскоре бросил образование. Он подрабатывал в случайных местах, вкладывая все силы и ресурсы в хип-хоп. Артист начал с записи битов и электроники. Затем решил делать рэп под псевдонимом Tape La Flare. Big Baby Tape был его сторонним проектом, шутливой пародией на западный звук, но именно эти треки привлекли внимание публики. В 2018 году Big Baby Tape похвалил в интервью с Дудем (признан иностранным агентом) поп-исполнитель Feduk. В том же году вышел резонансный альбом Big Baby Tape под названием «Dragonborn». Начали один за другим выходить треки Big Baby Tape с другими артистами молодой сцены: Дорой, OG Buda, Хаски, Jeembo, Morgenshtern (признан иностранным агентом). Самым успешным оказался творческий союз с испанским рэпером Kizaru: их совместный альбом «Bandana» стал одним из самых прослушиваемых альбомов 2021 года. Поклонники все еще ждут его второй части.

Biography and musical career[]

Early period: youth, beginning of a musical career[]

Born on January 5, 2000, Yegor Rakitin has two twin brothers who are two years younger than him. His introduction to rap occurred at the age of 4 when he first heard songs by 50 Cent, leaving a lasting impression on the young artist. Later, he was exposed to the songs of Gucci Mane, which significantly influenced his current work. At the age of six, when asked by an aunt about his future aspirations, Yegor expressed his desire to become a rapper. At the age of 12, he began learning to create music using the Fruity Loops program, introduced to him by his sister’s friend. Initially, he pressed random buttons, struggling to understand the software, and abandoned it.

His key influences in beatmaking included Madlib, DJ Zinc, DJ Rashad, DJ Smokey, and DJ Paul. At the age of 15, Yegor adopted the pseudonym DJ Tape and considered releasing an instrumental music album titled DJ Tape 2000, though this project did not come to fruition due to quality concerns. Subsequently, he decided to pursue rap under the name Big Baby Tape.

2017–2018: Hoodrich Tales — Dragonborn[]

In May 2017, Egor’s Cookin’ Anthems, his first 4-track mini-tape, was released. In late 2017, the rapper, Feduk, noticed Egor listening to his songs on Instagram Stories, which marked the beginning of Egor’s wider recognition. In an interview for the «vDud» show, Feduk declared Big Baby Tape to be one of his top two favorite rappers, bringing him significant exposure. Subsequently, Yegor began selling instrumentals to fellow artists.

In 2018, Egor gained attention from major artists such as Kizaru, Boulevard Depo, Face, and Pharaoh. On March 8, 2018, he released a collaborative single with Feduk titled «Hustle Tales.» On June 1, 2018, his debut mini-album, Hoodrich Tales, was released, featuring guest appearances by Polyana (MellowBite), Alizade, Boulevard Depo, Feduk, and Egor’s alter ego, Tape LaFlare.

2019–2021: Breakup of Benzo Gang, ARGUMENTS & FACTS[]

On March 8, 2019, a half-hour video was published on the official YouTube channel of Benzo Gang, wherein Egor discussed their history, team dynamics, and relationships with team members. During the monologue, it was revealed that the team’s disintegration was partly due to low productivity among the participants. Initially, Egor guided Dope V, Cash Choppa, and LilJPlug to leave the association. The video particularly highlighted his strained relationship with Dimebag Plugg, citing issues with the law, drugs, finances, hypocrisy, and a lack of activity within the team as the primary reasons for the tension. The video concluded with Egor expressing negative sentiments towards Dimebag.

On May 10, 2019, Egor released his second mini-album, «Arguments & Facts.» The album stirred controversy as it included an unauthorized sample of Leavemealone’s song «Face,» leading to accusations of plagiarism by the Florida rapper.
