Alyona Alyona 
Rap

It all began when Alyona Alyona released the first companion video to her song “Рибки” (Fishes) last October, which went viral on YouTube and has meanwhile collected over a million views. But she is far from being just another one-hit wonder. There is something about Alyona Alyona that goes beyond her no doubt impressive appearance, her confident attitude, her captivating flow, her lyrical prowess, her sound delivery or her kindergarten alter-ego.
