Sergey Babkin and Andrey Zaporozhets met in 1995. Despite the fact that Zaporozhets was inspired by soul and hip-hop, while Babkin followed rock music, they found common ground, and by 2000, started writing songs together. Their first album "Анплаггед" ("Unplugged") was recorded in 2002 for only $30, without overdubs, and quickly spread unofficially by word of mouth. The album was officially released in 2003 under the name "Пятница" ("Friday"). The song "Солдат" ("Soldier") became an instant hit after receiving radio airplay, and 5'nizza quickly rose to mainstream popularity in Ukraine, Russia and other Russian-speaking countries. 2005 saw the release of their much-anticipated second album, "О5" (pronounced "o-PYAT" — Russian for "Again"). This time 5'Nizza offered much more sophisticated studio work, while at the same time following the same guitar/vocals/beatbox formula (though, with occasional electric guitar and Rhodes piano). The album enjoyed much less mainstream popularity than its predecessor, but 5'Nizza continued active touring and working on their side projects. When Zaporozhets and Babkin started writing the third album, they found that they were unable to follow the acoustic musical formula, and decided to discontinue working as 5'Nizza, focusing on their own projects instead: Babkin continued his solo career, and Zaporozhets formed SunSay.
Babkin and Zaporozhets reunited to perform several concerts in 2015.
In 2017 the new album "КУ" ("KU"), was released.

5'nizza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Каждым утренним лучом дорожи!
Пусть только наверх будут этажи -
Жи-жи-жи-жи-жи-жи!
Иногда над тобой летают амуры
Или-или день был хмурым?
Все стороны равные-разные нити.
Цените дети и взрослые: рослые, низкие,
Искренне друг друга понимая, видят одно!
Темные комнаты помнят о том, как тонко предки-потомкам,
Что-то главное плавно передают, о том как:
Вперед, вперед! Время идет вперед, вперед!
Вперед, вперед! Время идет, па-ба-ба-ба!
Вперед, вперед! Время идет вперед, вперед!
Вперед, вперед! Время идет, па-ба-ба-ба!
Не говори "Потом..." - этого может не быть.
Строим простые мосты, желания могут остыть.
Если не ты, то кто ко всему готов?
Ветром пройти сквозь огонь, не разбив стекло!
Сколько воды утекло... Вот оно, - здесь и идет:
Вперед, вперед! Время идет вперед, вперед!
Вперед, вперед! Время идет, па-ба-ба-ба!
Вперед, вперед! Время идет вперед, вперед!
Вперед, вперед! Время идет, па-ба-ба-ба!
The lyrics of 5'nizza's song Вперед convey a message of optimism, determination, and the importance of seizing the present moment.

The repetition of "Вперед" (which means "Forward" in English) emphasizes the idea of moving forward in life, not getting stuck in the past or waiting for the future.
The verses touch on the unpredictable nature of life, mentioning the possibility of encountering love or experiencing gloomy days. However, the lyrics suggest that despite the ups and downs, all sides of life are equal and interconnected. The song encourages both children and adults to appreciate one another, understanding each other sincerely and seeing the unity within humanity.
The lines "Не говори 'Потом...' - этого может не быть" (which translates to "Don't say 'Later...' - it may never happen") emphasize the importance of taking action and not procrastinating. The lyrics imply that we should build simple bridges and not let our desires cool off. The song suggests that we should be ready for anything and be willing to face challenges head-on, even if it means walking through fire without breaking the glass.
Overall, 5'nizza's Вперед is a motivational and uplifting song that encourages listeners to embrace the present, appreciate others, and strive for progress.
