Tengiz and Funk-Petersburg store in Afisha magazine
Quote: DJ Tengiz is a man of a wonderful fate. He won on a “Rap Peak” rap festival with a team “T-Jam”, then he admonished a whole generation when he wrote with his friend Hot lyrics to Mr Maloy’s song “Budu pagibat molodim”, then marked himself as a sound engineer and sound producer in a bunch of Russian hip-hop projects. He is a founder of Tengiz Records and Internet project iRap, member of a project Pjanstvu Boys. And when everyone thought its enough of laurels he opens Funk Petersburg store.
