Russia born and New York-based rapper Krussia does it for the people, baby. “For You” from his album I’m Not White – I’m Russian is filled with pieced-together comic book graphics, features from Brooklyn’s Blitz the Ambassador and Iam from Indianapolis, along with wacky, trumpet-laden production that makes us smile. - MTV Iggy

Bio
Krussia is a musician from Russia's Detroit, Chelyabinsk. He had a dream, but called it a plan and headed to New York with a backpack full of ambition and a pen.
Upon arrival he did anything from dishwasher to furniture mover to get by before he was able to link up with Brooklyn's OG - PF Cuttin who backed the release of his project Making Moves that included tracks with Afu-Ra, Sean Price, C-Rayz Walz, and Grand Puba. As a beat-boxer Krussia appeared in the movie "Planet B-Boy" along Kenny Muhammad, Masai Electro, and the documentary "5th Element of Hip Hop" with Dj Shark (Japan).
The 2010 solo album "I'm not white - I'm russian" produced with his long-time music partner Andrew Tripmastaz was a result of collaborative work with such artists like Blitz the Ambassador, Gc & Soulmafia, Joel Ortiz, Gift of Gab. Without paying attention to opinions on how Hip-Hop is "supposed" to sound, Krussia continues to push the frames of definition and open ears to new possibilities. His new album "Diagonal" is out now.
