Money Rain (DEMONBEATS Phonk Remix)VTORNIK
Russian hip-hop enjoys enduring popularity among enthusiasts.
Unlike the American culture rooted in gangs, many rappers in Russia are tightly intertwined with the mafia, so hardcore tracks are still widely popular.
“Money Rain (DEMONBEATS Phonk Remix)” is a song in that vein.
Thanks to the remix, it leans more into dance music elements, letting you feel both its cool edge and its infectious groove.

Никто (Текст песни, премьера 2021)NЮ
Many of the songs that gain popularity on TikTok are high-voltage, up-tempo tracks, right? Those have their appeal, but some people also want to listen to songs with a serious, sorrowful vibe.
For those listeners, I recommend “Никто (Текст песни, премьера 2021).” It’s a track that exudes a stylish, melancholic mood reminiscent of neo-Argentine tango.
It’s also very popular on TikTok and seems to be used mainly in art-related videos.

The Russian music scene is strongly influenced by Russian folk music.
As a result, many of the tracks at the top of the scene use striking scales that combine major and minor modes.
One such piece is the Russian song “Нетрезвый водитель,” which is currently popular on TikTok.
The charm of this track, above all, lies in its stylish musicality that blends such melodies with R&B.

Love your voiceJONY
Dance music is a genre that strongly reflects a country’s character—for example, in Spanish-speaking regions, reggaeton is the mainstream of dance music.
Russia has its own distinctive flavor as well, where the mainstream sound tends to resemble reggaeton rendered in a minor key.
“Love your voice” is a track that embodies this Russian dance-music style and is currently gaining popularity on TikTok.
The guitar phrase that comes in toward the end is incredibly sexy, so be sure to listen for it.
ОчіARVAD
Russia is a country where classical music has flourished, so there are many outstanding performers, and along with that, band culture has also grown significantly.
There are many bands that combine electronic sounds with rock—something you don’t see as often in Japan—and even at the top of the scene, such tracks are prominent.
‘Очі’ is one such Russian rock track that has recently become especially popular on TikTok.
With vocal effects reminiscent of hip-hop, electronic programming, and distorted guitars, it’s a work whose appeal lies in its jam-packed musicality that adds together the best of each genre.
