A boy born in the Arctic Circle, in a village that is not easy to find on the map, where the night lasts for two months, and the temperature in winter drops to minus 50 ° C, and could not think that he would ever be able to afford to live in Moscow, but on vacation fly to Paris, Prague or Nice. But now he understands that there are no boundaries for a person, only those that are in his head.
Vyacheslav Vorontsov (rapper Mezza) was born on August 13, 1987 in the village of Tazovsky. He studied at an art school, from where he was expelled for bad behavior. The biography of rapper Mezz was influenced by Onyx and Snoop Dog - these were the first rap artists he heard. The boy was always inquisitive and tried not to leave any of his questions unanswered.
Now Vyacheslav is one of the most independent rappers in Russia. He has more than 10 releases to his credit, the most notable of which are “Slum Star” and “Going Out on the City.” A photo of rapper Mezz can be seen below.
Creative path
The musical work of rapper Mezz has always been distinguished by its advanced sound for its time. Vyacheslav focuses on the flow and rhythm of the reading, on the combination of sounds, word forms and sound quality. He pays great attention to detail, spending a long time in the recording studio and polishing songs to perfection. His music is considered hip-hop with a classic New York sound.
In 2007 he released his first album. In 2008, he met Decl and they recorded the track “Shot”; in the same year Mezza won in the program “13 Evil Spectators” on MTV. The year 2009 was marked for the musician and his fans with the Looney Tunez mixtape and the video clip “This Is Not Hip-Hop.”
In 2010, Vyacheslav released the album “Slum Star” and accompanied it with two videos: “This is stupid everyday life” and Coca Cola. The album received positive reviews from critics and listeners. A year later he released Breaking Bad. When creating it, I was inspired by the series of the same name. He also shot the videos “Leave Me” and “La La La”. 2 weeks later the single “Black Swan” was released.
In 2013, rapper Mezza released two albums: “Ulcer” and “Exit to the City.” “Going out to the city” is a return home after traveling through European countries. Starts with classic beats, ends with new school beats. The album had a gloomy mood, but was warmly received by critics and listeners, and quickly reached the top of iTunes. The main song of the album was “Sid and Nancy”.
In 2014, the album “Mokba” was born, where semantic load and interesting sound prevailed. In 2020, he lost to Re-pac in the Beats&Vibes hip-hop contest.
In 2020, Vyacheslav released what listeners rated as a crazy album, “Leader of the New School.” To be the leader of a new school, according to Mezza, means constantly looking for the next step, constantly progressing, not looking at the canons and fashion trends, because all this is changeable. The uniqueness of the product, detachment from the processes within the industry - this is what distinguishes the leader of the new school from ordinary rappers. Vyacheslav thought so then and does not give up his views now.
In the same year, two mini-albums “Scorce33e” and “M4” were released. In 2017, the album “Paradise” was released - an average work, according to the musician himself. Photos of Vyacheslav Vorontsov (rapper Mezza) are presented in the article.
Creative period
In 2007, Mezza Morta released a mixtape called "1000 & 1 Spliff".
This is the artist’s debut release, which received quite good reviews from listeners. The next work, “Looney Tunez,” was released in 2009 and consists of 25 tracks that have a unique and new sound for that time. In 2010, one of the artist’s brightest albums was released: “Slum Star” (13 tracks). The rapper noted that when working on the release, he was extremely concentrated and closed - he did not communicate with any rap artists, did not listen to any compositions from this genre, and in general, at that time he was detached from the entire hip-hop world. Thus, the result was exactly the music that Slava himself liked. Being an independent artist, he made the album the way he wanted. Three tracks feature collaborations with Jamille, and on one (the last, thirteenth) performer Ty Nitty sounds together with the author of the release.

Exit to the City” (2013) is considered by many to be the next peak of this artist’s creativity. In addition to the gorgeous sound, the tracks contain in their text something that will be close and familiar not only to one author of the release, but will also resonate with numerous listeners.
Mokba”, which consists of 8 tracks with an interesting sound component and meaningful text. Slava himself admitted in an interview that he considers him one of the best.

Mezza and Re-Pac on Beats&Vibes
“Leader of the new school”—that’s what Mezza called his new release in 2016, thus modestly emphasizing his influence on the overall development of the genre in Russia. 15 songs, imbued with interesting lyrics and fashionable instrumentals, do not leave anyone indifferent, including the Black Star label. But it was a short-term collaboration with Mezza, which caused a stir among listeners and rap publications.
Scorsezze EP". All 7 tracks are unique in their own way and as a whole add up to an overall harmonious and worthy work.
M4″. This is exactly the rhythm that Mezza set - he does not stop at presenting one album a year and, thanks to his productivity, delights fans with new material. This time the record has 7 tracks, 3 of which are skits, in which the performer shares his thoughts on the world order and other relevant topics. In 2020, a joint release with Jamille entitled “Dream More in Contrary” was presented. 10 songs are very bright and appreciated by listeners and colleagues. But the creative gifts from Mezza didn’t end there. In December 2020, according to the artist, his “last album” was released, which was called “Paradise”. The running time is impressive - one and a half hours. This is explained by the presence of 32 compositions on the release. Such a number of songs may well qualify for a farewell “adjustment” from the performer. Each of the tracks carries a piece of the performer, who, in turn, is not afraid to be sincere with his listener. A distinctive feature of the release is the musical component - the beats are made in a fashionable style with an abundance of bass. Jamille, Stlsrdr, Btskh, Ho - guests at the release.
Contract with Black Star
After recording the album “Score33e”, the artist was noticed at Black Star. They soon signed a distribution rights agreement with Mezza. The agreement was only for this release; Mezza is still an independent artist. Black Star bought the material and will make a profit from the release. Mezza himself estimates his sound on this album to be worth tens of thousands of dollars; he believes that everything was done professionally and every detail was verified. In addition, there was an already established fan base. Therefore, Mezza was sure that it would not be difficult for the guys from Black Star to make a good profit from the album.
Mezza now
Mezza's musical style itself is characterized by high-quality sound: the most harmonious combination of voice rhythms and stylish music distinguishes each song with its Western sound.
The artist is not going to stop there and will continue to delight his listeners with new material with the same productivity that is characteristic of him. With his independence as a performer, he emphasizes his dedication to himself, creativity and numerous listeners.

Personal life
At the end of 2020, Sasha Bortich and Vyacheslav meet. Around the beginning of 2020, Mezza and Sasha became a couple. Before this, Bortich dated Ilya Malanin for three years, who was constantly jealous of her colleagues. Ilya decided to end this relationship.
Vyacheslav well understood the specifics of his beloved’s work. The new couple doted on each other. Sasha admitted that she listens to her new partner in everything. Vyacheslav was even introduced to Sasha’s mother, they easily found a common language. However, the mother was against such a union. The couple got married that same year.
In June 2020, Sasha filed for divorce, arguing that the rapper was not the person she was looking for. The marriage was officially dissolved on July 16, 2020. It is unclear how this affected Vyacheslav’s life, but on July 15, Mezza invited everyone to his concert, which took place in August, on his Twitter account.
23-year-old Alexandra Bortich commented for the first time on her divorce from rapper Mezza
This week Alexandra Bortich became a guest on the YouTube talk show “Gentle Editor.” The actress told presenter Tatyana Mingalimova about what it’s like to film without clothes, explained why she doesn’t like Tina Kandelaki, and for the first time commented on her divorce from Vyacheslav Vorontsov, better known under the pseudonym Mezza. The star admitted that she went through the breakup calmly.
According to Alexandra, she was incredibly happy when she realized that she was finally not in a relationship: “Love is painful. I love very much and this makes it difficult for me. Divorce is a topic that I didn’t want to discuss, because, fortunately, I don’t talk about it, I don’t publish or broadcast live, etc. Regarding marriage, speaking of which, the stamp does not change anything for me. It’s difficult for me without love, but now I enjoy being with myself. I'm fine overall, really. This is great. I enjoy, I feel great that I am completely on my own, I plan everything myself and spend money only on myself. This is wonderful. To put it mildly, I was very glad to be alone. For the first couple of weeks, I constantly heard that in my situation it was simply indecent to be so happy. So just congratulate me. In my case, everything happened very quickly and it was simply a mistake. When you realize this, you just know it’s time to finish.”
Alexandra Bortich with ex-husband
During the conversation, Tatyana Mingalimova recalled the star’s first acting experience - filming the film “What’s My Name,” where in some episodes the actors appeared without clothes. When asked what it was like to act in such projects, Sasha admitted that she did not feel awkward: “At 18, I was such a greyhound, 2-3 times worse than now. That's why they approved me for the role. Nigina was there, Lena Nesterova, who helped Nigina with the casting, and there were three of us in the room. Nigina asked me: “Can you take off your clothes?”, I was like: “Yes.” She asks, “Can you do it right now?” and I’m like, “Pfft.” And she showed her breasts. I was different then, a little screwed up in a good way. I really trusted Nigina. I'll say more, there are a couple of scenes that were cut out. And thank God they were cut out. I trusted Nigina so much that it was just such a life, a family, and one time Nigina asked me to do something that was not according to the script and completely wild, I did it. It was difficult, I overcame myself and did it.”
Bortich experienced shame only after filming one of the scenes in the film “Duhless 2.” Alexandra had to ride naked on a horse around the city, and Tina Kandelaki photographed her in this form. The TV presenter published the frame on her microblog on Instagram, after which the actress received a lot of negative comments and disliked Tina: “This is the first story after which everything atrophied. I was very young, and until the moment I got on the horse, I didn’t quite understand what I was doing. I thought “yes, cool, let’s do it,” but when it happened, and there were so many people around and it all looked so wild, I was inspired, but could no longer give up. This wonderful woman took a photograph of me so that neither the camera nor the operator was visible, she posted it on her page, and when I filmed this scene, that same day I went to the store, they called me, I went to look, and there in the comments was this... I was 18 years old, and I was hysterical. I called my boyfriend, my mother, from the toilet in the shopping center on Okhotny Ryad, I remember very well how my mother arrived. And after that I somehow dealt with everything.”
Alexandra Bortich
Let us recall that Alexandra Bortich and Vyacheslav Vorontsov were in a relationship for three years. The stars spent the last year in an official marriage. The wedding was a secret, and fans of the actress and musician found out about it only after the divorce.
Trip to Europe
According to Mezza, such travel changes a person, but not everyone. Only the one who is looking for answers. The rapper has noticeably lost weight, got new tattoos, and even his eyes have changed. As rapper Mezza says, after visiting several countries, you begin to understand that you are a person free from the system. If you don't like one system, you have the opportunity to change it by simply moving.
However, of all the cities, rapper Mezza loves Moscow most. True, in winter it is very difficult for him. The absence of sun for several months greatly affects the psyche, so Vyacheslav prefers to spend the winter in cities with a more suitable climate. Dreams of visiting Greenland, Iceland and Japan.
Childhood and youth
Details of Mezza’s biography are sketchy, although the performer has been known in the rap community for quite a long time. Mezza is just one link in the chain of pseudonyms of the musician, whose name according to his passport is Vyacheslav Vorontsov. The rapper's name was Mezza Morta, Slava Aronovsky. Vyacheslav was born in August 1987 in the village of Tazovsky, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

Mezza as a child
As a child, I studied at an art school, but not for long - I was kicked out for bad behavior. As Mezza said in an interview, he is a descendant of the painter Vasily Vereshchagin, the author of the painting “The Apotheosis of War,” exhibited at the Tretyakov Gallery. Over time, the head of the family and some relatives settled in Prague.
Vorontsov became immersed in hip-hop as a music direction in America, where he came as a student exchange student. I had to live in a Spanish area, the surroundings turned out to be exactly the same as they showed in the videos: African-Americans with pistols, chrome Chevrolets and rap music blasting from all the windows. In terms of performing beats, according to the musician, even the cashier at the station can easily “outdo” many Russian followers of this genre.
Mezza in his youth
Vyacheslav and his friends tried to go to open airs, but the locals categorically advised against it, saying that it was simply dangerous for white guys. However, during the 4 months spent in North Carolina, the future musician became familiar with the so-called southern rap, since only such compositions do you want to listen to in an atmosphere of sun and positivity, in contrast to “gray Moscow”.
In 2013, Mezza moved to Paris to live with his sister, who received French citizenship. There was a strange reason for this - Vyacheslav’s car was stolen in Moscow, and the guy decided that there was nothing to do in the capital in the coming winter without personal transport.
Worldview
Mezza has always recorded music for himself, so he doesn’t rely on radio and television hits. His musical tastes evolve, and the sound of his songs changes along with it. He believes that in order to evaluate the professionalism of another person, you yourself need to have courage and willpower. Almost every track by Vyacheslav mentions God. The rapper doubted higher powers and religion for a very long time. The path of doubt is considered more correct in this matter.
He considers himself a god in the sense that he is part of God's creation. There are commandments that he is comfortable fulfilling. When he follows them, everything happens in the right way for him. For example, he gives alms to everyone who asks. He does it for himself. He doesn’t see anything bad in wealth, because even Islam says that a person should be rich and help the poor.

About believing in yourself and losing weight
The rapper took a long time to lose weight; he was always very fat. When asked questions about losing weight, he jokingly replies that he shoots heroin in the groin. Vyacheslav believes that it is easier for people to believe this than to listen about a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition. His “secret” is simple - the rapper began to exercise a lot, stopped drinking beer, eating sweets and fatty foods.
He believes that the key to success is happiness, and not the other way around. His happiness is self-discipline. What brings him happiness is the realization that from his head he can control the world around him and his every action. Believes that self-confidence changes everything around a person. The hardest thing is to believe in yourself when you have nothing.
