A vocal critic of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, FACE is a serious liability for a government increasingly intent on restricting freedom of expression. In early 2022, FACE left Russia just before the Kremlin invaded Ukraine. It was a decision that proved to be the right one for him, and one he hopes is just the next step in his ever-evolving career. Now that his homeland is invading his neighboring country, the rapper is vocal in his condemnation of his government's behavior.
On February 17, 2023, FACE will perform a concert at Hole44, bringing his anti-war stance to the stage through his music.
