Alex Krymau, known under the pseudonym 2xMint (Doublemint), is a rap/hip-hop artist and producer from Minsk, Belarus. From an early age, 2xMint was an ardent fan of music, primarily rap from the south coast of the USA, the so-called "Dirty South". The main influence on the formation o
f his musical taste was exerted by such legendary performers as Lil’ Jon and The East Side Boyz, Trillville, YoungBloodz, Lil Scrappy, Ying Yang Twins. In 2006, FL studio got into the hands of 2xMint, and from that very moment the guy completely immersed himself in creating his own style. For the first few years of his career, he developed the art of MC and performed songs only in Russian with his own instrumentals. But after the first trip to Vilnius (Lithuania) in 2012 and attending one of the hip-hop parties there, 2xMint realized that it was necessary to start writing rap in a universal and understandable language all over the world - English. This is what he did for the next few years. Most of the friends and guys in the Minsk hip-hop crowd did not take seriously and even laughed at his efforts to imitate Americans and his accent in songs. But this did not stop him, but on the contrary even more spurred him to go forward in a given direction. Moreover, his irreplaceable assistant and loving wife, Alla, has always been hand in hand with him. Continuing to release music, back in Minsk, Alex met Big Grunt, who had just arrived from China, so communication began between the guys. In 2019, 2xMint moves to Poland and simultaneously rethinks his music career. And so, teaming up with Big Grunt at the beginning of 2020, the guys decide to revive the very music on which they grew up and the love for which united them - Crunk. And now, 2 years later, the work on the album is almost finished. Ordinary guys from Belarus managed to attract real legends of crunk music such as: YoungBloodz, Trillville, K-Rab to record the album "WATERMELON SUGAR", which will be released in May 2022.
