Biography

1.Kla$ (1Klas, Первый Класс) — real name Artem Frank. Born on 1 December 1983 in Perm, moved to Germany in 1996, based near Bremen. One of the names Russian-language battle rap started with.

In the late 90s he founded the duo Divers with CZAR. In 2000 the two won a battle contest in Bremen, and in 2002 they released the German-language album “Weiß Blau Rot”. Then Kla$ switched to Russian and formed Rap Woyska (RWR) with CZAR.

“Сукины дети” (Sukiny Deti), “Твою мать” and “Твою мать 2” with CZAR, and the album “$ieg Kla$” (Sieg Klas, 2009): hard punchlines, dark humour, technical rhymes, zero compromise. “New Russian Standart” with Schokk and I.G.O.R. became a classic.

2023 brought the comeback: “Sukiny Deti” featured in the series “The Boy’s Word: Blood on the Asphalt” and went viral, and Oxxxymiron released the track “1.Kla$” and brought him in for “1.Kla$ Pt. 2”. The compilation “UNRELEASED” followed, singles like “Кровавый спорт” and “Черный гранит”, and in 2025 the album “Divers Est. 1999” with CZAR.

Today: 2026 brought new singles — “50 Cent Flow” (with SingleBAbyBoi), “Музыка нас связала” (with Babyboi) and “Сука”.
