MiyaGi (Azamat Kudzaev) is a rap artist. Performs as part of a duo with Soslan Burnatsev aka Andy Panda (formerly Endgame). Born on 13 December 1990 in Vladikavkaz, Russia.
Listening to this artist's tracks on official streaming platforms, social media, and other services indirectly contributes to financing the war — through taxes paid to the budget of the Russian Federation.
In September 2019, Azamat Kudzaev was added to the Myrotvorets database for deliberate violation of the state border of Ukraine and unlawful concert touring across the territory of temporarily Russian-occupied Crimea.
MiyaGi's stance on the war in Ukraine
Miyagi has not spoken out publicly regarding Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Online reports claimed that the artist released the song "No to War" in support of Ukraine, but that track was actually composed long before the outbreak of the full-scale war.
Following the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine, Miyagi halted live concert performances. "What concerts, people are dying," his mother quoted Miyagi as saying during an interview on the Hajime Style YouTube channel.
Despite maintaining public silence regarding the war in Ukraine, Miyagi & Endgame comment on politics through their music:
In October 2022, the musicians released the song "Vremenno" ("Temporarily"), which contains the lyrics:
*rcs underfoot, serves them right, those monsters« (although Endgame later explained that these were not »those« *rcs)
In January 2024, the song "Narrative":
Here they kill for God's sake
Justifying every motive with criminal prayers
In February 2024, the song "Tandem":
While brother turns against brother
Paper money rustles in their pockets
Who needs this for personal gain
What they're shoving so brazenly down our throats is *rap
Shut your f***ing mouth... The system has begun to totter, having a seizure
People are being backed into a corner, propaganda breathes venom
Не те **рки, это как? Топ отмазка, трусливых словоблудов.
