A dark horse. The asset includes the patronage of an already established St. Petersburg wave in the person of Smokey Mo, who wrote 95% of the beats for his album, and Umbriaco.
As for his creative style, at first everything seems extremely simple - Method Man as he is. Other domestic ms were also famous for their similarities with Tical: Capa from SBL, Nigative from Triad. This is what Kazhe is at first glance. Actually, there is no big sin here, Method Man is very popular among us and is quite a decent role model. But Obima is very hardworking and greedy for the microphone - this helps him overcome imitation.
Its peculiarity is to launch your text forward like a snowball and run after the lump that is overgrown with metaphors. Smokey certifies Kazhe Ooima extremely seriously: “Crazy, street man, smokes rubbish, drinks like Satan, fucks chicks - like changing socks. That’s what he reads about.”
When have listeners disliked such fine fellows? If he made the album live up to Moe's energetic definition, it should be an interesting record.
Kazhe Oboyma is highly regarded by fans of the St. Petersburg underground style.
Zheka grew up in Yakutia, but has been studying in St. Petersburg for several years now, where he began to seriously study hip-hop, in parallel with, as he himself claims, “women, parties and gifts of nature.”
“My themes are taken primarily from what surrounds me plus my sick imagination. Again, I’m inspired by what’s happening around me and what’s going on in my head, and it’s brutal...”
After listening to his debut album “Issue 1: Inferno”, most the music for which Smokey Mo wrote, you can see this.
“I named the album that way because at the time of writing most of the verses I was in such a state. This was last summer, I gave my all to this, I thought that I would just somehow burst into flames from what was happening in my head. Thank God this didn't happen. As for the second part of the title, everything is simple - this is just the beginning.”
The album, contrary to the information we had before, will be released not on MDU, but on the Mediatone label. Obema commented on this situation as follows: “At a certain point, I realized that the MDU label and Obima are incompatible. Although some of my tracks will be published by this label in the future, this is nothing more than residual material that I left at the studio, a gift, so to speak, as a keepsake. Mediaton met me halfway during quite stressful times for me, everything is fine with them, without brainwashing, in any case. This makes me happy".
The release of “Issue 1: Inferno” is scheduled for the second half of September. But the rapper doesn’t think of stopping: “The verses that I’m writing now will, in my opinion, be very different from the old ones, I look at many things differently now, now I also take into account the fact that my rap will be heard much more more people. Last year I didn’t think about it, in my new themes I try to put as many pure emotions as possible, without impurities, but it will remain tough, incomprehensible to some (that’s the least of my worries), but in any case he will "pump" anyone..."

He says that not everyone understands him and his work is not for the masses. But the musician found his audience and year after year continues to delight fans with new tracks.
Childhood and youth

When it's time to decide what to do next life's path, the guy decided to leave Lensk and go to study in another city. He chose between Moscow, Novosibirsk and St. Petersburg, and eventually settled on the latter. The reason was romantic: his first love, whom he met at sea, lived there. Later, the rapper admitted that he was not mistaken with the city and considers St. Petersburg ideal for his rhythm.

The musicians jointly release the collections “Dangerous Joint” and BombBox Vol. 2. It was a time of a big gang hanging out without clear goals and production strategies, so the collaboration soon broke up, having managed to give several joint concerts.

Over time, the musician began to say that he was “tired of Ooima,” implying that the second part of the nickname carries mega-brutality, aggressiveness and punk movement. Over time, the essence of the pseudonym ceased to coincide with reality, and often the rapper began to introduce himself simply as Kazhe. He connects this with fatherhood and experiencing tremulous moments in life. And the 2016 album is named conceptually - “Farewell to Arms.”
In addition to studio releases, the musician has several singles, mini-albums and collections.

Evgeniy Karymov (Kazhe Oboyma a.k.a. Joe UFO) is a Russian rap artist from St. Petersburg, a member of Saint P Family, a former member of the group Def Joint. Artist of the recording music label “Black Mic Records”, in the past he recorded at “Mediaton”.
A dark horse. The asset includes the patronage of an already established St. Petersburg wave in the person of Smokey Mo, who wrote 95% of the beats for his album, and Umbriaco.
As for his creative style, at first everything seems extremely simple - Method Man as he is. Other domestic ms were also famous for their similarities with Tical: Capa from SBL, Nigative from Triad. This is what Kazhe is at first glance. Actually, there is no big sin here, Method Man is very popular among us and is quite a decent role model. But Obima is very hardworking and greedy for the microphone - this helps him overcome imitation.
Its peculiarity is to launch your text forward like a snowball and run after the lump that is overgrown with metaphors. Smokey certifies Kazhe Ooima extremely seriously: “Crazy, street man, smokes rubbish, drinks like Satan, fucks chicks - like changing socks. That’s what he reads about.”
When have listeners disliked such fine fellows? If he made the album live up to Moe's energetic definition, it should be an interesting record.
Kazhe Oboyma is highly regarded by fans of the St. Petersburg underground style.
Zheka grew up in Yakutia, but has been studying in St. Petersburg for several years now, where he began to seriously study hip-hop, in parallel with, as he himself claims, “women, parties and gifts of nature.”
“My themes are taken primarily from what surrounds me plus my sick imagination. Again, I’m inspired by what’s happening around me and what’s going on in my head, and it’s brutal...”
Having listened to his debut album “Issue 1: Inferno”, most of the music for which was written by Smokey Moe, you can be convinced of this.
“I named the album that way because at the time of writing most of the verses I was in such a state. This was last summer, I gave my all to this, I thought that I would just somehow burst into flames from what was happening in my head. Thank God this didn't happen. As for the second part of the title, everything is simple - this is just the beginning.”
The album, contrary to the information we had before, will be released not on MDU, but on the Mediatone label. Obema commented on this situation as follows: “At a certain point, I realized that the MDU label and Obima are incompatible. Although some of my tracks will be published by this label in the future, this is nothing more than residual material that I left at the studio, a gift, so to speak, as a keepsake. Mediaton met me halfway during quite stressful times for me, everything is fine with them, without brainwashing, in any case. This makes me happy".
The release of “Issue 1: Inferno” is scheduled for the second half of September.
