Moskva (Moscow) by rapper Slovetsky

Russian online magazine The Village has published a map of Moscow that pinpoints locations within the city mentioned in Russian rap songs.

Most of the locations featured are in the centre of the city, which has been rapped about by numerous Russian stars including Timati, Guf and Basta, and also in the south east of the city. The map would suggest that rappers have yet to mention the south-western suburb of “New Moscow”.
