2000—2003: The Beginning of a Creative Path
Guf entered the hip-hop world in 2000 as part of the Rolexx group, the name of which comes from the names of the project participants: Roma and Lyosha.

It was after participating in the Rolexx group that Alexey became known as Guf. However, he used the name of the group as his own primary nickname until 2005. As Guf aka Rolexx, Alexey is listed on the back of the CD package with the album “Turtle Runs” of the group “Negative Impact”, released in 2005. In 2006, on subsequent albums, to which the rapper wrote guest couplets or participated in monasteries, including “Floors” and “Basta 2”, Dolmatov was already designated as Guf.

Guf wrote his first track titled “The Wall of China” at the age of 19. He first heard on the radio "2000". But then followed a forced creative break due to drugs.
