Alexey Antipov is a Russian-Ukrainian rapper, better known under the pseudonym Tipsy Tip. For more than ten years this artist has been performing on the international stage and developing his own group, Shtora.
Early biography
Future rapper Tipsy Tip was born in the Ukrainian city of Krivoy Rog. He does not name his age. Alexey Antipov speaks to himself as a simple guy from a working-class family, but always striving for the dream of his own creativity. He was also fond of sports, but, according to rumors, at one time he went on a "crooked path", starting to take drugs. As a result, Tipsy Tip managed to overcome this addiction and now often agitates young people against illegal drugs in their songs.
Already at school age, Alexey began to write his own songs in the hip-hop genre. Since 2006, he has been participating in rap battles for the title of best performer. Several times Antipov won major victories in various nominations, including for the best video for his own track. The performer recorded his songs right at home, using a simple microphone. In 2009 he signed a contract with the RAP-A-NET label, releasing his debut album "Nishtyachki" on it. Soon the next album was released, called "Shtorit".
Creation
Another solo album of the artist "Bytnabit" was released in 2010. Like previous works, this one is devoted to his key theme in his work - the fight against injustice, social and youth problems. By this time Tipsy Tip had already become a fairly popular rapper. He releases a video for the song "Shiroko", which has received many views on YouTube, and also gives a solo concert in Moscow.
In 2014, the rapper took part in the sensational Internet project "Versus Battle", having come together in a creative duel with Harry Ax. Alas, Antipov lost this fight. A year later, Alexei created the "Curtains" group, with which he began to actively perform on various stages. Soon he recorded another album "22:22", this time together with the popular hip-hop group "MiyaGi & Endgame".
Personal life
Tipsy Tip does not advertise anywhere whether he has a wife and children. Apparently, the rapper prefers a secluded life, while not forgetting about his parents. The artist speaks of them with warmth and often posts joint photos on social networks. Alexey Antipov lives in Ukraine, but considers Russia his homeland, where his roots come from.
The popular rapper continues to actively tour and collect full halls of fans. Another major event took place in Moscow in 2018 and was named the Big Spring Concert. To date, the artist's discography already has seven albums, but Tipsy Tip does not even think to stop there. He is recording new tracks and seriously intends to become one of the leaders of the Russian rap movement.
