Dmitry Nikolayevich[3] Kuznetsov (Russian: Дми́трий Никола́евич Кузнецо́в; born 10 February 1993), better known by his stage name Husky (Russian: Хаски), is a Russian rapper from Ulan-Ude. His music is known for its use of somber lyrics, complex rhyme schemes, assonance, and alliteration.[4][5][6] On November 22, 2018, Kuznetsov was arrested while performing in Krasnodar, and sentenced to 12 days in jail under charges of petty hooliganism and for refusing to take medical tests. Major social and political figures in the country, including opposition politician Aleksei Navalny, argued that this was part of a larger state-led attempt to censor free speech.[7][8][9] On November 26, the court reversed its ruling and Kuznetsov was released.[10]

Early life

Dmitry Nikolayevich Kuznetsov was born on February 10, 1993, in Irkutsk. He moved to Buryatia when he was three months old.[11] In early childhood, he lived with his aunt in a rural part of the territory. When Kuznetsov began attending school, he moved to live with his mother in Ulan-Ude. He was raised in the Vostochny microraion of Ulan-Ude, to which he later devoted the song "Поэма о Родине" (Poema o Rodinye/Poem about Motherland).

Kuznetsov began writing and performing rap music at the age of 15.

In 2010, Kuznetsov passed the Russian language Unified State Exam and began attending Moscow State University's Faculty of Journalism.[11][12]

In his first year at Moscow State University, Kuznetsov worked as a journalist at NTV, VGTRK, and Russia-1.

Career

In 2011, Kuznetsov released "Седьмое октября" (October 7th) on YouTube, a track which rapidly gained attention due to its title and lyrics - which reference Vladimir Putin's birthday and address major social and political issues in Russia. In 2013, Kuznetsov released his first album under the name Husky, "сбчь жзнь" (sbch' zhzn'/dog life). By 2014, Kuznetsov became acquainted with the writer Zakhar Prilepin, who collaborated with him and REECH, another Russian rapper, on the track "Пора валить" (Pora valit'/Time to go).[13]

In 2016, Kuznetsov began releasing music videos for his second studio-recorded album, "Любимые песни (воображаемых) людей" (Lyubimyye pesni (voobrazhayemykh) lyudei/Favorite songs of (imaginary) people). The album was released on April 1, 2017, and became one of the most popular music albums released in the Russian Federation at the time.[9]

On April 18, 2018, Kuznetsov released the audio and music video for the track "Иуда" (Iuda/Judas). On November 17, 2018, Youtube blocked the music video for Russian audiences without further explanation.[9] By the fall of 2019, Kuznetsov released "Люцифер" (Lyutsifer/Lucifer), a mockumentary about Kuznetsov's work that premiered in Moscow. His third album, "Хошхоног" (Khoshkhonog), was released on September 25, 2020. As with Kuznetsov's prior work, the album deals directly with controversial political issues in the Russian Federation, including the presidency of Vladimir Putin.[14] Khoshkhonog is a traditional Buryat dish, made of cooked lamb or horse intestine.
