The video for the song I Got Love, performed by Miyagi & Endgame and Rem Diggy, the fathers of Russian rap music, received one billion views on YouTube, becoming the most watched video on the platform in Russia. While fans rejoice and rave about the track, we tell you a few facts about the music video and its creators.
The main characters of the video are the Ossetian duo Miyagi & Endgame and Rem Digga, who need little introduction. They have long gained popularity (and all kinds of respect) in the Russian music scene.
The song premiered in 2016 and the video clip was released on June 2, 2017. The popular video was shot by Kazakh director Aisultan Seitov, who has previously worked with Jah Khalib (“Medina”, “Leila”), L’One (feat. Jasmine “Road”), Eldzhey (Hey, Guys), Scryptonite and Tati. (“Invitation to GazgolderLive”), as well as with foreign artists 21 Savage, J.Cole (A Lot), Offset (Red Room) and others.
Burnatsev in exile (real name of Endgame Note ed.) signed up to a banned social network by posting the cover of the track. Thus, the rapper’s fans were able to vent their emotions and thank the musicians for their creativity. “Big congratulations to the family”, “My best life started with this song”, “We waited”, “Mastodons”, “A track without haters”, “At the call of the heart”, “Fathers!”, fans wrote in the comments.
Let us remind you that Aisultan Seitov also directed a documentary about Miyagi and Endgame – Charisma in 2018. “We live in the age of the Internet and ambitious materialists. Therefore, it is difficult to surprise anyone with simple things. Man has become less receptive, more superficial and sometimes inhumane. This is what we have to fight for. And our weapon is music. This is what helps some people not go crazy when the world is collapsing before your eyes; This is what transforms pain into poems, paintings and creativity in general,” Miyagi says in the film.
It should be noted that the music of Miyagi & Endgame has changed a lot in recent years: from lively and light to adult and darker (life), but it still continues to win and shake the hearts of millions of people.
December 13, Azamat Kudzaev (Miyagi – Note ed.) The duo released an EP called Euphoria, which they recorded together with Mav-d. Note that they seem to have returned to their previous sound by adding reggae elements and melodic chants in the tracks. Miyagi and Endgame also supported Scryptonite’s latest album “Serenity.exe” by recording the collaborative track “Megapolis” with a rapper from Kazakhstan and a singer performing under the pseudonym Daena.
