Vyacheslav Valeryevich Mashnov (Template:Lang-ru; born 9 May 1990), best known by his stage name Slava KPSS[a] (Слава КПСС) is a Russian hip-hop artist and streamer.
Biography
Vyacheslav was born on 9 May 1990 in Khabarovsk and studied at the Khabarovsk Institute of Infocommunications. Before the start of his musical career, Mashnov listened to rappers Noize MC, Kasta, Mnogotochie, as well as rock musicians: Yegor Letov, Boris Grebenshchikov, DDT, Zvuki Mu, Alisa, Agatha Christie and others.[1]
In 2016, Mashnov, under the pseudonym Gnoyny, became a member of the creative rap association Antihype (which also included SD, Khan Zamai and Booker).[2]
Attention to Vyacheslav grew after the battle against Ernesto Zatknites in July 2016,[3] where he criticized Oxxxymiron, accusing him of hypocrisy and calling him "a hype-hungry pig".[4] The next day, Miron Fedorov challenged Gnoyny to a battle in 2017.[5]
The rap battle with Oxxxymiron, which became the most anticipated in Russia, took place within the 2nd season of Versus x #SlovoSPB on 6 August and was published on 13 August. Slava KPSS defeated Oxxxymiron with a score of 5:0. The video became resonant and gained about 10 million views in the first day after publication. After the battle he gave an interview to Yuri Dud for the Internet show "vDud".[6]
