Face

His latest album, Slime, was released on February 1, 2019 and spawned the singles "Woof", "Мой калашников" (en. "My Kalashnikov"), and "Спасательный Круг" (en. "Lifebuoy"). He also released the titicular soundtrack song for the Mikhail Idov drama film Юморист (en. "The Humorist")

Face's songs are often profane, sexually explicit, and contain references to drugs, which has led to socially conservative law enforcement in Russia to cancel his concerts. In response to this censorship, he released a politically-charged album, Пути неисповедимы (en. Mysterious Ways), on September 2, 2018, that criticizes the corruption and social problems in Russia, which he has described as a "third world country." Face had received offers from President Vladimir Putin's public relations officials to produce pro-government content for the Kremlin, but turned it down.

In 2018, Dryomin had been considered to be drafted into the Russian Armed Forces but was declared as unfit for military service because of medical reasons that include mental illness.

Dryomin moved from Ufa to Moscow with his brother Bogdan in April 2017. He has been dating Russian YouTuber Maryana Ro since September 2017.

Face released three EPs in 2016: Vlone, Mayhem, and Playboy. He released the EP Revenge in 2017. He released two full-length albums, Hate Love and No Love, in 2017, as well as non-album singles "Бургер" (en. "Burger") and "Я роняю запад" (en. "I'm Dropping the West"), the latter a sarcastic take on Russian patriotism with a music video that features the rapper riding a bear and standing on a burning American flag.

In 2015, Dryomin attended a concert by Russian rapper Pharaoh and was inspired to make his own rap songs. His stage name Face was invented with his brother and is meant to characterize his many-sidedness and constant metamorphosis in his work. He released his debut EP Проклятая печать (en. Cursed Seal) on SoundCloud on October 30, 2015. A video was released for one of its tracks, "Гоша Рубчинский" (en. "Gosha Rubchinskiy"), a homage to the fashion designer of the same name, on January 3, 2016.

In 2013, Dryomin and his friends swore a blood brother oath to the allegiance of Adolf Hitler to lead racial holy war. However, Dryomin quickly realized the wrongfulness in such white nationalist views and has since disavowed such beliefs. He was a member of the gopnik subculture and joined "Aurora Gang", a youth street gang, and was nicknamed Batei Aurora, after the street he grew up on. This gang engaged in petty crime including underage drinking, vandalizing cars, shoplifting, and street fights. In 2014, Dryomin supported himself by growing and dealing marijuana and hashish from his rented apartment. He was caught by police and sent to live with his grandmother. It was then that he turned away from his life of hooliganism due to fear of being killed or incarcerated, and started to create music.
