The provocative music video that won over foreigners...

RAM (aka Dirty Ramirez) - Sweat (2019)

RAM's energising track 'Sweat' was released in early 2019. It became part of Dirty Ramirez's solo album "TRAUMATIX" and instantly provoked a lively reaction from listeners, especially after the release of the video clip, where the author appears in three colourful characters at once.

About the album "TRAUMATIX" (2019).

The album, which will see the light of day in winter 2019, combines everything that was previously characteristic of Dirty Ramirez's work: loud and energetic musical accompaniment, expressive lyrics, irony about himself and the world around him. ATL, Bumble Beezy, Killa Sof took part in the creation of the album. Thus, ATL performed the second verse and bridge in the track "Position", where Ramirez emphasises that for everything that matters to him, he "will only stand because he's not like everyone else".

From sarcastic and hooligan motifs in the lyrics towards the end of the album Ramirez moves to lyrical reflection on his place in life and ways to rise from the bottom. This can be seen, for example, in the track "Exit." The composition "Sweat" is one of the most lively and colourful in the whole album - the rocking musical accompaniment impresses from the first seconds.

RAM clip - "Sweat."

The music video for the track "Sweat", recognised by many hip-hop fans as the best music video of 2019, has attracted a lot of attention. Caricatured images from everyday life are mixed with a dark surreal atmosphere, where dark figures dance and an unknown religious cult holds a service.

From the first frames the viewer gets to the gym, where a cheerful and agile young man is vainly trying to lose weight. The track really became popular in gyms - with such energetic music and incendiary lyrics it becomes much easier to do exercises.

Eldar Garayev, the director of the clip, clearly managed to make not just a passing video. The accuracy of the composition in the frame attracts the eye and does not let the viewer go until the very end of the clip. The unsuccessful sportsman is replaced by a crazy, but extremely charismatic "dark side", who talks about his life and makes sarcastic remarks both to the viewer and to himself. Ramirez's third character is particularly hard-hitting.

In the last part of the clip, the viewer is transported to a church, where a masked cult leader, an important element of the performer's stage image, speaks to his followers. Impressed by the sermon and blessed by their idol, they start dancing energetically to the fast and colourful track.

It's enough to watch the backstage video to notice how much work went into the production of the video. A lot of people in the crowd, active work of make-up artists and the director - the creative atmosphere is instantly captivating.

Dirty Ramirez: attitude towards creativity

In an interview with online publication The Flow, Ramirez discusses his life before his career and shares how he sees his own work. He admits that he plans to evolve and go beyond surrealism and the grotesque.

Ramirez does not like to talk about his life before the creation of the group - in his opinion, it is too personal information that should not be discussed in public. One thing is certain: since childhood, hip-hop culture has been an important part of the performer's life, and already at the age of 15 he was actively involved in breakdancing. Later he even taught choreography to children and successfully performed with them at concerts. During his student years he created the project "SIDxRAM" together with his friend working under the pseudonym Sidoji Duboshit. For a long time, the group's performances were just a hobby, but the video "Mereana Mordegard" recorded in 2014 unexpectedly brought the rappers fame. After a casual conversation with musicians in chatroulette, "SIDxRAM" draws the attention of Oxymiron. After he tweeted a link to the group's works, the group gained a lot of fans, and already in 2016- year released the album "Mochivils", which caused a positive response from listeners. According to fans, the Russian scene lacked the madness that SIDxRAM demonstrated in their tracks.

By 2019, the band members focused on solo projects. Thus Ramirez created the albums "TRAUMATIX", its sequel "TRAUMATIX ULTIMATE", "SADEASTWOOD" and others.

Compositions to which "Sweat" is being compared to

Colourful works such as RAM's "Sweat" provoke heated discussions. Users often share the associations they had while listening to it. They are often subjective, but the atmosphere of chaos and madness in the tracks below is definitely present.

  • "Mushrooms" - "Cops don't like us so much". The composition was created by the Ukrainian band in 2016. With the track "Sweat" they are related to the energetic motive and provocativeness of the text. In addition, the music video recorded by "Griby" also received a lot of attention.
  • "Little Big." The video clip is related to the work of the famous band by its surrealism and vivacity. However, in terms of atmosphere they differ in many ways - Ramirez's work reflects much darker sides of the human soul.
  • "2rbina 2rista". The creative work of the two bands is related by the evocative lyrics and the bright presentation of the clips. Perhaps, fans of the track "Sweat" will also like the composition "Leaves".

RAM's track "Sweat" is provocative, provokes ambiguous reactions, and this is what attracts the attention of the audience. It is impossible not to mention the work of the clip's director, who surprises with the level of quality and fresh artistic solutions. RAM continues to create, and in the future plans to release many more of the same energetic and captivating compositions.
