Alexey Sergeevich Dolmatov, known to us all as Guf (GUF), was born on September 23, 1979, in Moscow. From about the age of 10 I became interested in rap art. In the 5th grade he encountered drugs. He often began to skip class, after which he was taken by his parents to China. For seven years he lived in China, where he studied at one of the universities. Alexey has 2 higher education: economic and linguistic. After this he returned to Russia.

Already at the age of nineteen he performed his first track - “ Chinese wall" He was recorded together with Roma Korobchansky (with whom Guf studied together, in the same group). For 2 years, Guf took a short break (due to drugs) in his hobby.

Guf became more famous in 2000 when he joined the group “ROLEX-X”. And so he finally realized that he shouldn’t sit and wait for something, he needs to move forward. It was after this idea that he became one of the creators, known on at the moment groups - “CENTER”. This is how his first demo album “Gift” appeared. Few copies were produced, only 13 pieces, and they were given to close friends as a New Year's gift.

He was very familiar with the “KASTA” group, as he often visited his area. He took part in the filming of the video “We take it on the streets,” and one of the Caste members, Shym, wrote the music for “New Year’s.”

Many songs dealt with his favorite topic - “Drugs”; he began to be recognized among rappers on this topic. Guf claims that he forgot about drugs a long time ago and no longer uses them.

Already in 2002, she begins to work on her new, next album. I found a new friend – Slim, who at that time was part of the “Smoke Screen” group.

In 2006, the song “Gossip” became very popular. The album “City of Roads” contains the song “Original Ba”, dedicated to Guf’s grandmother Tamara Konstantinovna, in which she even takes part.

Also in 2006, a video called “New Year’s” was released for one of the documentaries called “Drug Users (drug addicts)”; this video soon became quite popular. A new hit was created with SMOKI MO “Traffic”, it was placed on the album “Air is Normal” (2008).

Already in 2007, a highly popular album called “City of Roads” was released. Soon appears new track called “My Game” in a duet with the popular rapper Basta. Guf also begins his concert activities. The same year, on October 25, an album called “Swing” from the group “CENTR” was released. In 2008, ‘Center’ won the “Best Rap Group” category at the RMA.

In 2009, together with the group, Center performed on Muz-TV with the song “City of Roads”. Also in 2009, he voiced a doll named “Fifth” in Tim Burton, Timur Bekmambetov’s “Ninth”. By 2009, Guf decides to leave CENTER, he confirmed this in his interview. starting from September and ending in December, all members of the CENTER group release solo albums. The album from GUF - “At Home” was released on December 1, 2009.

Personal life of GUF

Soon after Guf decided to quit drugs, he began to lead a healthy lifestyle. He lasted only half a year, but then his girlfriend named Isa came to his aid.

Isa helped Guf a lot with this problem. Once, when she found out about his drug addiction, she locked herself and him in the apartment for 5 days, and soon helped him completely forget about them.

So who is Guf - the highest paid Russian rap artist, whose tours are scheduled several months in advance and have suffered little even due to the raging economic crisis - or an underground legend who has sprouted through the obstacles of show business with the power of his verbal gift?
Where will the portal site begin to present biography of Guf, participant (with breaks) Centr groups- a team that is throughout recent years one of the recognized leaders of the entire domestic hip-hop industry?! Well, of course, with a description of a difficult childhood and life story Alexey Dolmatov.

Real name: Alexey
Date of birth: 09.23.1979
Place of birth: Moscow
Guf - Russian (and extremely Moscow) rap artist

While still in the 3rd grade, a minor Alyosha Dolmatov I started listening to Russian (and not only) rap. In the fifth grade, the future Guf tried drugs (grass) for the first time - damn it, the parents didn’t keep track of the stupid child. And off we go: absenteeism from school, parasitism and vagrancy. Young Dolmatov became a burden and a black spot on the reputation of the intelligent Moscow Dolmatov family.

Alexey Sergeevich Dolmatov, upon returning from exile to China (where his parents sent him to tear him away from Moscow drug addicts), became a co-founder (together with Princip) of the group Centr, which was originally a duet. Founded the ZM Nation label and is also one of the founders of " TsAO Records" Winner of RMA awards, Rock Alternative Music Prize and others.

2000–2003: The beginning of his creative journey
Guf entered the hip-hop world in 2000 as part of the group Rolexx, whose name comes from the names of the project participants: Roma and Lesha.
It was after participating in the Rolexx group that Alexey became known as Guf. However, he used the group's name as his main pseudonym until 2005. As Guf aka Rolexx Alexey is indicated on the back of the packaging of the CD with the album “Turtle Races” by the group “ Negative influence", released in 2005. In 2006, on subsequent albums, for which the rapper wrote guest verses or took part in skits, including “Floors” and “Basta 2”, Dolmatov was already designated as Guf.

Guf wrote his first track called “Chinese Wall” at the age of 19. It was first heard on Radio 2000. However, this was followed by a forced creative break due to drugs.
Since 2002, Guf has been working on his debut album. In the same year, his collaboration with Slim, who at that time was a member of the Smoke Screen group, began with the song “Wedding”.

2003–2009: Centr Group
Realizing the need to move on, Guf, together with Nikolai Princip, created the Centr group in 2004. With this lineup they released their first demo album called “Gift”. The circulation was only 13 copies, which were presented to the closest friends for the New Year.

IN creative life Guf has another one bright character- his grandmother Tamara Konstantinovna, known to fans of Guf’s work as Original Ba XX. The whole country recognized her from the track “Gossip”. The song “Original Ba” from the album “City of Roads,” in which she even takes part, tells about their relationship and her character. “She can easily dance to Sean Paul for you,” reads Guf. But in the fall of 2013, my grandmother dies of cardiac arrest.

Many of Guf's early songs are dedicated to drugs, and it was these songs that became his “ business card"in the rap community, forming a new specific style. Guf used hard drugs, as he himself said, but has now completely abandoned them.

In 2006, the song “Gossip” was released. In the same year, by Ren-TV for documentary film“Drug Users” (Russian: Drug Users) from the series “Project Reflection” a video was shot for the no less popular composition “New Year’s”, in which Slim and Ptah participate. Guf records a duet with Rostov rapper Basta - a song called “My Game”. A video clip was also shot for the song “Traffic”, recorded with the participation of Smokey Mo and which was included in the second album of the Centr group called “Air is Normal”.

In April 2007, the album “City of Roads” was released. In addition, the artist begins active concert activities. On October 25, the album “Swing” by the group Centr, of which he is a member, is released. In the fall of 2008, the Centr group, together with Basta, won the Hip-Hop category at the RMA awards of MTV Russia.

On August 16, 2008 he married Aiza Vagapova.
In 2009, he dubbed one of the characters in the American cartoon “9” - a one-eyed doll named “Fifth”. In the original, the hero was voiced by actor John C. Reilly.
In August 2009, Guf left the Centr group after a quarrel with Slim and Ptah. He stated this in his interview. Despite this, in the fall of 2009, a video was shot for the song “Is It Easy to Be Young” from the album “Ether is Normal.” Guf is filming for this video separately from the rest of the group.

Guf is creating a new label - ZM Nation.
From September to December, solo albums of all participants are released. Guf’s solo album “At Home” was released on December 1, 2009.

2009–2012: Collaboration with Basta and “Sam and...”
At the end of 2009, information appeared about a joint album with Basta, which should be released in September 2010. Dates change after each Guf/Basta interview; in September 2010, official information appeared that the presentation of the album would take place on October 23.

On November 10, 2010, Guf’s joint album with Basta, entitled “Basta/Guf,” was released. The presentation took place on December 25.

On July 21, 2011, a big concert of Basta and Guf took place at the Green Theater; judging by Basta's Twitter post, more than 8,000 people gathered there.
On September 9, 2011, the Federal Drug Control Service announced the detention of Guf. Guf's tests revealed traces of marijuana and he was released.
On July 19, 2012, the third big summer concert of Basta and Guf took place at the Green Theater.

November 1, 2012 third solo album Guf’s “Sam and...” was posted for free download on the hip-hop portal Rap.ru.
On December 30, Guf was excluded from the list of artists of the Gazgolder TO, although, as his wife Isa states, collaboration was discontinued back in 2011. On December 28, an interview was posted on Rap.ru with extracts of Basta’s answers to listener questions, among which was a statement that Guf was never an artist on the label: “He didn’t sign a contract with us, we just took part in the work. It will probably stop starting in the New Year.” Since August 2013, he has been divorced from his wife Isa.

2013–present: 420
On April 20, the day of cannabis use, Guf, together with a dancehall musician (member of the St. Petersburg group True Jamaican Crew), released the single “420,” foreshadowing a joint release planned for early 2014. On March 4, 2014, the premiere of the song “Industry” took place, in which the rapper speaks on the topic of rap battles, including mentioning the organizer and host of Versus Battle.

Reconciliation with Slim and Ptah
October 24, 2013 Guf releases new song and along with it a video clip called “Sad”, where he explains the reason for the collapse of the Centr group:

“We had a very strong group, they didn’t take advantage of anyone. / It turned out that the whole of Russia was rocked. / But its existence suddenly ceased: I imagined myself as a soloist, became vain and mercantile. »
And so, in 2014, the song “Winter” appears on the group’s album “Winter” with guest verses by Guf and Slim. In a subsequent interview for Rap.ru, the Caspian Cargo group reveals that the track was put together with the consent of both ex-members of the Centr group. But later, many different guesses appear on the network that the group members will record more tracks; in one of the interviews, Guf states that a joint concert of the group is possible, nothing more; Bird says the same thing. However, on April 27, 2014, a joint composition with Guf called “Killer City” appears on Bore’s album “On the Bottoms.”

DR by Nikolai Serov: Guf, Slim, Ptah, Dj A. Vakulenko

Guf, Slim, Ptah, Basta, Nagano - Centr-club of the Central Administrative District

Rapper Guf (Alexey Dolmatov) rarely comments on his personal life, but recently the artist made an exception. IN interview The musician spoke to journalist Yuri Dud about rumors about his affair with singer Keti Topuria. “Katie and I are friends. And after this ridiculous news we become even stronger friends. I don’t know who’s in the photos,” the rapper said.

According to Alexey, when Katie found out about his drug addiction, she tried to save him. “She started trying to cure me. She constantly persuaded me, but I, being on my own wavelength, always merged. Then he turned to her for help and asked her to do something. She put me in the hospital in Moscow several times,” Dolmatov said.

The artist also spoke about his relationship with his ex-wife Aiza Anokhina. Alexey admitted that he had repeatedly cheated on his wife, even when she was pregnant with their son.

“I cheated on my wife for a while. Almost immediately after the birth of a child or even during pregnancy. This is terrible... At some point I just stopped hiding it, I disappeared into strip clubs, hung out there for a couple of days. This was already in the order of things... At some point, she decided to teach me a lesson so that I would put myself in her place. She met some guy, kissed her, and it all ended up on the Internet. At the same time, she just kissed,” the rapper said.

Dolmatov admitted that he “behaved like a pig.” Several times Isa and Alexey broke up and got back together again, until at one point their marriage finally collapsed. Now the businesswoman is happily married to Dmitry Anokhin. Last year the couple had a son, Elvis.

Let us recall that in winter, photographs appeared in the press in which Katie and rapper Guf were allegedly photographed sunbathing in an embrace by the pool. Since the quality of the photo was poor, the faces could not be seen, but random witnesses claimed that Guf and Topuria were vacationing together in Thailand.

Katie and I are friends. And after this ridiculous news we become even stronger friends. I don't know who is in the photographs.

In an interview, journalist and blogger Yuri Dud asked Guf (Alexey Dolmatov), ​​who had repeatedly had problems with drugs, whether Topuria helped him in 2016, when the musician once again became interested in taking illegal drugs.

She had no idea about this. We met on the set of a video and sometimes met to drink tea. She constantly persuaded me, but I, being on my own wavelength, always merged. Then he turned to her for help and asked her to do something. She put me in hospital in Moscow several times...

In addition to rumors about an affair with Katie, Guf also openly and regretfully admitted that he destroyed his marriage with his own hands, although the entire CIS was rooting for their couple. Now, from whom she gave birth to a son, Elvis.

I cheated on my wife for a while. Almost immediately after the birth of a child or even during pregnancy. This is terrible... At some point I just stopped hiding it, I disappeared into strip clubs, hung out there for a couple of days. This was already in the order of things... At some point, she decided to teach me a lesson so that I would put myself in her place. She met some guy, kissed her, and it all ended up on the Internet. At the same time, she simply kissed.

Now Guf regrets the past, but the ex-couple managed to improve their relationship for the sake of their son. Now in
