Soon, military romance will appear in his songs.
Rapper Macan (Andrey Kosolapov — real name) may be directed to an elite regiment. This was reported by the Telegram channel Mash.
Currently, Macan has passed the medical commission. He has been assigned a position category of "A". This means that the artist can be sent to either the Airborne Forces or the Navy.
According to the publication, the rapper may be directed to the Semenovsky regiment, where actor Gleb Kalyuzhny is currently serving. It is noted that the military enlistment office may accommodate the musician's wishes regarding the type of troops.
Earlier, Macan announced that he received a summons and will soon go to military service. The singer urged not to lie to yellow media. He assured that no one was hiding from the army.
The Telegram channel Mash wrote that over the past year, the 23-year-old artist ignored six summonses. He is now again required to appear at the military enlistment office — the seventh summons has been sent to his registration address in Moscow's Ramenki. According to journalists, there were plans to initiate a criminal case against the rapper, declare him wanted at the federal level, and block his accounts.
Previously, rapper Macan was called for a ban in Russia.
He has no stories of a difficult childhood or a family's dire situation. On the contrary, Macan's childhood was spent in comfort. His parents often gave expensive gifts to their son, doing everything to provide him with a good life. At the age of eight, he was enrolled in a sambo section. At the same time, the boy began attending a music school. This was a conscious choice: Andrey already knew then that he wanted to connect his entire life with music. Inspired by his favorite rappers: Eminem and Snoop Dogg, Andrey came up with the idea of recording his own track. The realization of this idea did not take long, and after some time, Kosolapov released his first track.
Interest in attending music school faded: the future singer stopped going to the educational institution and decided to study music on his own.
Adolescence began to take its toll: the young man constantly skipped classes or disrupted lessons, for which his father was regularly called to school. In the 9th grade, Andrey ended up in the police station for another fight.
His parents did not like their son's dream of becoming a musician.
They believed he should choose something more realistic, something that would actually bring in some income. Andrey and his parents reached a compromise: he could pursue music, but only if he also obtained a higher education. Thus, the young man enrolled in the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA) in the law faculty.
Continuing to diligently follow his dream, Macan performed on stage for the first time. After his initial success, the young man decided to take an academic leave from university. He never returned to the institute.
Andrey released his first track when he was 11 years old. In general, nothing unusual: aggressive rap about teenage problems.
When Andrey turned 16, he decided to try recording a track again. The young man approached this matter more consciously, chose a stage name (settling on "Young Chaser"), and released the track "Parliament."
The work done did not bring success. The rapper began to think about a new stage name. The final decision was the name MACAN, which translates from Indonesian as "tiger."
Andrey continued to work. Success did not come. Musician Archee Lionhert helped him, but this did not yield results for the aspiring singer.
In 2019, Macan released his new track "On Me."
The track "Laughing Gas" from the album turned Andrey's life upside down. Just a month after the album's release, Macan gave two concerts in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
The themes of the young man's songs include love, the life of a "guy" in a big city, and alcohol. Although Macan comes from a wealthy family, it means nothing to him. He does not sing about expensive cars or a luxurious life. On the contrary, in his songs, he talks about how "guys dream of paying off debts," "finding someone who will be with you even without money."
Two years after Macan released his first album, the second one, "2002 + 18," was released. Within a day, 2.5 million people listened to the album, and the song "Untitled" became another hallmark of the rapper. Looking at the sources, one can notice that the majority of Macan's audience is male, consisting of guys aged 18 to 25, not from the capital. Overall, the profile of the listener is clear: young men who love soulful hip-hop and courtyard romance.
