It\u2019s not just McGinnis\u2019 sick dance moves that are making the trend viral, though; more than a few TikTokers are curious about the song he uses in his videos, and it\u2019s not hard to see why. The track is supremely catchy, and seems to be capturing the interest of listeners all over the world, even if they don\u2019t speak the Russian language. The song comes from Russian music artist Moreart, and is titled \u201c\u042f \u0431\u0443\u0434\u0443 \u0435\u0431\u0430\u0442\u044c.\u201d English translations of the track are more than a bit murky, but the song and its title aren\u2019t exactly appropriate to type here \u2014 making the dichotomy between its meaning and the wholesome gentleman dancing to the song even more humorous. The track has seen a spike in viewership on YouTube via the official Moreart topic as a result of the song going viral on TikTok. Looking at his social media pages, it seems that Moreart has released a few other original songs outside of the hot sauce banger; his YouTube Topic page boasts three other tracks from the artist, all featuring a similar style, his Spotify page only listing two tracks. In contrast, his official YouTube channel only boasts 6 subscribers and two songs. Who is Moreart? Moreart is more than a viral TikTok rapper; he\u2019s also a longtime music producer, battle rapper, and ghostwriter for several high-profile Russian music artists, as revealed in a November 2020 interview with YouTuber Timur Balymbetov. Unfortunately for fans, there are no English closed captions for the interview at the time of writing, but it\u2019s clear that this guy knows his stuff when it comes to making hits. For now, it looks like Moreart\u2019s popularity is skyrocketing due to his viral song, but whether or not we\u2019ll see the artist release more tracks, as a result, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
