Rapper Sagrada called Eremin's song about Motorola energetic and not pop

The song "Camera – motor", dedicated to the militia member Arsen Pavlov with the call sign Motorola, the text of which was written by the deceased Izvestia war correspondent Semyon Eremin, is very energetic and not pop. Rap artist Artyom Sagrada told Izvestia about this on October 17.

"Very energetic, not pop. <...> I understand that Semyon Eremin wrote the text, and he was personally acquainted with Arsen Pavlov, because, let's say, I also did not have the honor to be familiar with Motorola. And Semyon knew him, contacted him repeatedly, he knew what he was writing about," the rapper shared his impressions.

In addition, the performer noted the creativity of Pasha Nero, emphasizing that he has real combat experience. According to Sagrada, this is what makes his music unique, as he talks about events that he was a direct participant in.

The rapper added that Nero's work over the past year has no analogues in the domestic musical environment. He also stressed that music is part of the process accompanying the fighting.

Power in memory: a bas-relief in honor of military commander Semyon Yeremin was unveiled at Izvestia Military Research Center

The memorial appeared on the 43rd birthday of a journalist who died in Zaporizhia during an FPV drone attack.

The wife of the military commander Victoria Eremina said that the song tells not only about Motorola, but also about the work of the journalist himself in the war zone. Rapper Alexander Stepanov, known under the pseudonym ST, praised the song. He noted that her sound reminded him of hip-hop from the early 2000s. In addition, ST positively assessed the creativity of the Rap Platoon project and drew attention to the growing popularity of the band on music platforms.

Yeremin died in April 2024 while filming a report in the special military operation zone. The military commander was injured as a result of an FPV drone attack and subsequently died. He was 42 years old. The journalist has been working in the SVR zone since it began in February 2022. As part of the film crew, he was one of the first to prepare reports from Volnovakha in March 2022, and was also one of the first to talk about Lancet drones and Solntsepek heavy flame-throwing systems.
