Bad Copy
Bad Copy are a popular hip-hop group from Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro. The lineup has changed over the years, but the current and most likely permanent members are Ajs Nigrutin, Timjah and Wikluh Sky. They have released several albums as a group and as solo artists.
The group started off as a duo, with the original members being Ajs Nigrutin and Miki Boj. Their first album Orbod mebej, released by ITMM in 1996, mostly contained comical songs rapped over instrumentals from popular American rap artists such as Method Man and Naughty By Nature. The standout track was 'Zabaci Domacine', which turned Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise into a song about a fishing trip gone wrong. The album did not achieve media popularity, but it established them a cult following.
The death of Miki Boj in Kosovo resulted in a hiatus of a few years. The group was then comprised of Ajs Nigrutin and Timjah, with Wikluh Sky joining later. They joined forces with Oneya, a then-up-and-coming beatmaker who was working on starting the first hip-hop label in Serbia, Bassivity. They had a very prolific collaboration, recording lots of songs but none of them ever getting released. By the end of 2002, dissatisfied with their record being slated for release only after VIP, Oneya and Shorty even though they were the first ones with a full recorded album, they ended their contract with Bassivity. Many of the recorded songs were later leaked to the internet, while some were released on other Bassivity projects.
Recording all-new material in a radio station studio during the first half of 2003, the group released their second album Sve Sami Hedovi for the One Records label. The album had a specific lo-fi sound as a result of being recorded and mastered in less-than-perfect conditions, but it was a huge hit on the strength of the first single, Uno Due Tre, produced by Wikluh Sky and with a video recorded in the old town of Budva, by Djolodjolo of Beogradski Sindikat. The second single Možeš ti to, also produced by Wikluh Sky and also with a video by Djolodjolo, was moderately succesful. The album sold more than 5000 copies, which is considered a great success with the current state of music in Serbia and Montenegro.
