“Basta 1” is the debut album of the Russian rapper Basta , released in November 2006. The album was recorded at the studio of the Gazgolder label, in which the rapper was invited by Bogdan Titomir, who already had a contract with the company [1] . On the composition "Autumn", "Once and For All", "Mom" were released amateur videos. The release caused a mixed reaction in the musical environment, but was positively received by the audience. Stable sales of the albums led to the fact that the recording company “ Monolith ” became interested in the musician’s work, which offered Basta a contract for the second album . The performer himself spoke of the album as quite “childish”, but at the same time “genuine” work: “The first album was what was good: it was really spontaneous. That is, it was a commandment of the soul, or something. There were the most naive but honest songs ” [2] . Retrospectively describing the album, rap.ru columnist Andrei Nikitin described it as “hip-hop chanson” [3] .
