The band was established in the beginning of 1990s. The members of the band became acquainted in Arbat street, got keen on “street” culture: break-dance, rap, they arranged street performances and competitions. At that time no one could think of setting rap, popular in North America, to hard-edged texts about sex in Russian. The theme itself was at least under control of TV and radio if not prohibited at all. “Maltshishnik” shocked everyone.
