Russian project. 2H Company is Ilya Barami, Aleksandr Zaytsev (members of Ёлочные Игрушки group) and Mikhail Fenichev. Group was created in 1999, when the former members of the group “Province” Mikhail Il’in and Mikhail Fenichev were introduced to Ilya Barami and Aleksandr Zaytsev, known as Ёлочные Игрушки, and they decided to write several songs together. Because “Province” was a rap group and the interests of new project revolved around hip-hop and its derivatives, Zaytsev proposed the name “2H Company” as the derivative of the English expression “hip-hop,” which was preserved as the name of group. Thus, the name “2H Company” can be understood as the association of people, whose joint creation is based one way or another on different aspects of hip-hop of culture. The first song, “Prov”, contains echoes of the pasts of two members of 2H Company, which can be understood and as reduction from the Russian word “checking” (test), was recorded and published in ‘99. St. Petersburg label ChebuRec included it in the compilation of Russian electronics’ “Output In City Two”. Apparently, this was the first case in the domestic practice, when musical tracking for rap, read in Russian, was not backed by all-hip-hop rhythms but experimental electronics as well.
