Departure of artists (2018–2021)
In 2007, «Black Star Inc.» with the companies «АРС» & «IlyaKireev Company» organized an R&B/Soul festival under the title «Vерсия 0.1».[1]
In 2009, producer Valeriy Evsikov left the label, having previously collaborated with Timati for more than three years and authored songs like «Потанцуй», "Forever", "Плачут небеса", and "Не сходи с ума".[2]
In Fall 2015, Black Star signed a new artist, rapper Alexander Morozov from Tomsk, better known as Sasha Chest. On 7 October he published a video with Timati called «Лучший друг», for Vladimir Putin's birthday.[3]
On 16 February 2019, the label conducted a second round of casting for the second season of the show «Песни» on the channel ТNТ. As a result of the casting, the label's new artists were Vyacheslav Isakov (Slame), Anna Boronina, Arsen Antonya, Artem Amchislavsky (Amchi) and Anna Saidaleva (Anet Sai) when their contracts ended.
On 27 July 2020, the label removed its founder Timati, also removing the full catalog of his songs. The reason for it is due to a "loss of charm" from the label.[4]
In September 2021, Egor Ship joined the label.[5]
In January 2022, Mot left the label.[6]
