He is one of the most influential and prominent hip-hop performers in Russia, and his albums The Wandering Jew and Gorgorod, are considered by the community as the most important releases of Russian rap.

He was not able to find a job because of his perceived overqualification and had to work as a cashier, a translator, a loader, a guide, a stallman, a tutor, an MC and an office clerk.

In the same year he joined a German label Optik Russia where he met Dimitri Hinter (Russian: Дмитрий Хинтер), known by his stage name Schokk [ru].

One of the main intrigues of the battle was the correspondence confrontation of Oxxxymiron and underground anonymous rapper Babangida [ru], which was expressed in mutual disses against each other in the tracks of both performers.

In a year, Oxxxymiron, Schokk and manager Ivan Karoy aka Vanya Lenin founded an independent label Vagabund (Vagabond in German).

On 15 September 2011, Vagabund published Fyodorov's first album The Wandering Jew [ru] (Russian: Вечный жид), which received a lot of positive reviews.

On 1 November 2011 Oxxxymiron left Vagabund due to conflict between the members of the label and Moscow rapper Roma Zhigan.

After that, a certain wave of excitement began around the event, and many famous hip-hop artists also participated (Egor Kreed, Noize MC, L'One, ST1M, Yury Khovansky, etc.).

"[13] He later said that it was impossible to hold an anti-war concert in Russia because "total censorship has been implemented, and anyone who speaks out against the war in any way becomes a potential target for criminal prosecution.

"[14] He went on to announce a series of benefit concerts in other countries, entitled "Russians Against War", the proceeds from which would be donated to NGOs helping Ukrainian refugees.
