Sergey Kruppov, better known to everyone under the pseudonym ATL, is a rap artist from the city of Novocheboksarsk.

Sergei spent his childhood in hometown. From an early age he became acquainted with the work of Eminem. Perhaps the work of this well-known artist pushed the future rapper to record his own tracks. Although, as Sergei himself says, he likes different music. Probably even all of them, except perhaps for chanson.

Aztecs group

In 2006, Sergey and three other guys decided to create their own group called "Aztecs". At first, they did not create their own songs, but just got together, listened to Russian rap and tried to freestyle. Sergey took the nickname ATL, which means the Atlanta airport code. Later he wanted to change him, but left him when he found out that the Aztecs had Atl, the god of water.

A year later, two guys left the group. ATL and Vadya Bledny invite two local rappers to join their group, after which they begin to prepare for the release of their first album.

In 2008, the guys from the AZTECS groups decided to send their track “MyWorldMyStyle” to rapper St1m, who at that time was looking for tracks for the collection “The World Belongs to You.” This was the first collection of the Aggrobabruisk label, whose main task was to support young promising performers. Among more than 1,500 tracks, St1m drew attention to the track “MyWorldMyStyle”, which he included in the collection. This is how the guys got their first listeners. In the same year, the group wins one of the hip-hop festivals - “Kofemolka-9”.

In 2009, the first album entitled “Now or Never” was released, after which they went quiet for 3 years.

In 2012, the Aztecs group released their second album entitled “Music will be above us.” It was last album groups. In the same 2012, the group breaks up.

ATL in the Aztecs group.

ATL spent his entire youth in the Volga region city of Novocheboksarsk. There he became acquainted with the work of Eminem, which prompted ATL to write the first tracks. In 2006, Sergei met 3 guys who, like him, were trying to record their tracks at that time. The guys decide to unite and create the group Aztecs. At first, the guys just gathered in the apartment, listened to Russian rap and freestyled, without recording new tracks at all. The first lineup of the group did not live long. In 2007, ATL and Vadya Bledny are left alone in the Aztecs. They invite two local rappers to join their group and gradually begin to prepare their first rap album.

At the end of 2007, the then-famous rapper St1m announced the acceptance of tracks for the Aggrobobruisk label for the collection “The World Belongs to You.” Aztecs decide not to miss the moment and send their track “MyWorldMyStyle”. Steam liked the guys' work and included the Aztecs in his collection. After this success, the group from Novocheboksarsk has its first listeners. Also in 2008, the Aztecs took part in the hip-hop festival “Kofemolka-9” and won. In 2009, Aztecs released their first album, Now or Never. After this, the group begins creative lull. It took the guys three whole years to release their second album, “Music will be above us.” As it turned out, this was the last Aztec album. In 2012, the group ceased to exist.

Solo career ATL

After the collapse of Aztecs, ATL did not give up creativity and began recording solo tracks. The rapper's style is gradually changing, and trap compositions are starting to be released occasionally. The first solo work did not have to wait long; the EP “Thoughts Out Loud” was released a few months after the Aztecs disbanded. Then, at the end of 2012, the second EP, “Warmth,” was released.

At the end of 2013, ATL took part in the sensational “ Versus Battle" and wins a confrontation with Andy Cartwright. Thanks to this victory, the number of participants in the VK group ATL increases sharply.

ATL’s first truly serious solo work was released in 2014 - the full-length album “Bones”. Many people knew about the Cheboksary rapper before, but after the album was released Russian rap The community started talking about ATL more en masse. In conclusion creative year ATL releases, in addition to the first album, another one - “Cyclone Center”.
But most successful work ATL is rightfully considered the album “Marabou” published in November 2015. This album includes 10 compositions. No Russian rapper has ever had a sound like the one in the tracks from “Marabou”. Later, ATL released a fairly high-quality video for the track “Iskra” from this album:

In the spring of 2017, ATL released the album “Limb”, which, like its predecessor “Marabou”, was very successful.

1. The nickname ATL comes from the airport code in Atlanta, Georgia. At the beginning of his career, ATL was a fan of the southern American rap. Later, ATL, being in the Aztecs group, wanted to change his nickname, but having learned that the Aztecs had such a god, Atl decided to leave the current pseudonym.
2. Many people attribute ATL, like all other Cheboksary rappers (in particular Lupercal, Rip, Matey, etc.) to creative association"White Chuvashia". But in fact, BC is just a made-up term by the Babangida troll from the hip-hop ru forum. And this term served to generalize this entire Cheboksary party.
3. Sergey himself openly states that ATL is a project not of one person, but of three: MC, beatmaker, manager.
4. ATL’s collection of works includes a very interesting mixtape “FCKSWG”, which was re-released 3 times.

Together with this artist, we look through biographies:

ATL (Sergey Kruppov) representative " new wave"Russian rap. He comes from Novocheboksarsk, a small town not far from the capital of Chuvashia. For some reason, Cheboksary became the musical capital of new Russian rap - Eecii McFly and the Dark Faders beatmakers came from there. This party, with light hand rapper Babangida was called “White Chuvashia,” but this is a very conditional association. Each of the “white Chuvash” has his own goals in creativity and his own special path.

Despite the fact that it is only a half hour drive from Novocheboksarsk to the regional capital, hip-hop in the satellite city was completely different. ATL and his group did not make the hardcore popular in Cheboksary, but southern “bounce”, about yachts and beaches. This fashionable trend of Western music of the early 2000s looked at least strange on the Volga beaches, and the “senior comrades” from the capital of the region treated the Novocheboksarsk fashionistas condescendingly.

Over time, ATL himself came to abandon the pursuit of fashion and recorded two breakthrough mixtapes “FCKSWG”.

The subsequent EP "Bones" was a revelation, ATL finally found its image - social, dark lyrics, black clothes and clips with interference, a feeling of hopelessness and rebellion against this hopelessness. Current topics, many references to books and ostentatious intellectuality of the texts - ATL perfectly entered the trend of the new Russian rap set by. In addition, ATL has an undoubted poetic talent and flair for modern problems: “Asian Moscow is raising the Russian banner, and now you can figure out which of them is visiting whom” (“Skull x Bones”).

The love for the “fashionable” sound, however, remains - ATL has several trap-cons, he does not shy away from collaborating with or (mixtape “Quarry”), but ATL himself always categorically objects to attempts to record himself in trap or “blackstar” - artists. He has his own way and his own music.

This is noticeable in his new album “Marabou”, which was released in early November 2015 and was instantly declared by fans as “a new bar for Russian hip-hop”, “a breakthrough in Russian rap”, etc. There is not a single feature on the album, which is very unusual for Russian rappers who like to gather in associations. All songs are ATL, beats by Dark Faders and Salad Killaz.

The album came out dark, full of references to Irvine Welsh, Lovecraft and Hunter Thompson, which had a devastating effect on listeners not spoiled by bookishness.

The tracks “”, “” and others are an example of the most interesting thing that is happening in Russian rap now.

The pseudonym ATL is a memory of his youth, when Sergei sang on the banks of the Volga about yachts and yellow beaches - the initial letters of the name of the “capital of the South,” Atlanta. However, it later turned out that it also has another meaning: Atl is the name of the Aztec god of water.
