A series of books on Russian rap poetry. Each book is about a rap artist, their unique styles, narratives, and roles on the cultural scene. The first book analyses linguistic units that represent spiritual search in the texts of the Russian rap artist Dmitry Kuznetsov (aka Husky).

Husky’s poems are written with the tonic system of versification, used in Old Russian prayer books before the reforms of Lomonosov and Trediakovsky. Surprisingly, trendy music that breaks common patterns returns to the origins of Russian poetry, exposing its essence.
