ATL is the stage name of Sergei Kruppov, who is considered a popular rap artist. Has been described as a "new school" rapper with prominent creative perspectives. Known to fans of this musical direction for almost 10 years.
life path
Sergey Kruppov or ATL was born on January 30, 1989 in the city of Novocheboksarsk (Chuvash Republic). For many years he lived in his native city. From an early age, he was fond of rap. He especially liked the work of the famous and popular Eminem. It was this musician who motivated ATL to start doing hip-hop. Now he admits that he likes almost all musical styles and directions, with the exception of chanson.
Over time, the artist realized that he wanted to seriously engage in rap. It was necessary to choose a bright pseudonym in the Western manner. At this time, one could often hear the abbreviation ATL, which meant the short name of the airport, which is located in the United States, in the state of Atlanta. In the future, Sergei wanted to change his stage name, but he came across information that Atl is the god of the elements of water among the great Aztec tribe. He considered this a good sign, absolutely not accidental, and decided to leave a pseudonym.
creative path
According to Sergei, his debut performance took place on 01.12. 2005 at a city concert. It was at this event that he became acquainted with Mantana, who later becomes his colleague.
A year later, ATL and his friends decided to create their own group called "Aztecs". Initially, young people were going to just freestyle and listen to modern rap artists. At first, they did not create their own tracks. A year later, two members decided to leave the group. ATL and Vadya Bledny quickly found new rappers who wanted to be in the Aztecs group.
The following year, young performers decide to send the track of their own composition "MoiMirMyStil" to the famous rapper St1m. Since the latter was in search of material for compiling the collection "The world belongs to you." It was the very first collection, the purpose of which was to support promising and gifted talents. At that time, St1m was attentive to the track composition of the rapper team from Novocheboksarsk. This event made them quite popular among those who truly appreciate rap culture. In addition, the year gave another happy event to young people, and they were able to win in one of the well-known competitions.
In 2009, the group released "Now or Never", after which new compositions have not been released for 3 years. It includes fourteen full tracks.
In 2012, the group decides to release the second and last album, which is called "Music will be above us." After that, Aztecs finally breaks up. All members began to pursue solo careers.
ATL solo project
In 2012, Sergey began work on his solo work. The first mini-album was called "Thoughts aloud", the second - "Heat". Each of the above albums included 5 tracks. This fueled interest in his personality and creativity.
In 2013, the ATL decided to take part in the Versus Battle, where he won a landslide victory over his opponent. It was this event that served as a serious impetus to the development of his career and popularity among rap listeners.
In 2014, Sergey writes two whole albums, which have the names "Cyclone Center" and "Bones". This has gained him a new audience. Fans noted that the sound became much better and more interesting.
In November 2015, the album "Marabu" is released. The album incredibly quickly gained popularity in various social networks, a lot of likes and reposts. The absolute hit of the disc was the composition of the same name "Marabu", by which the performer is recognized to the present. A very stylish video was shot for the track "Iskra", which his fans liked. Distinctive feature of this album is that he performed all 10 tracks on his own, without the participation of other performers.
In September of the same year, several collaborations were released, which were combined under the name "Karma x Koma". The end of the year is marked by the release of an interesting clip "Bees". Already in March, the performer is releasing an album with the sparkling title "Limb". This album brings the rapper a whole army of fans. One of the compositions, which is called "Back", Sergei dedicated to his friend, who refused drugs. Undoubtedly, the incendiary track is one of the best creations of ATL - "Dance", which is still very popular on the Internet.
To the early published work of Sergey, which was recorded together with the most famous Russian rap artists. In addition, ATL is good friends with Oxxxymiron, who speaks highly of Sergey's work. In his opinion, he is a good performer and an excellent author of truly high-quality lyrics.
For a long time, ATL toured Russia and the CIS countries, so they practically did not release new tracks. But, in October, Sergey pleased his fans with the video "Sacred Rave", which was filmed in just one take.
A month later, a video was released for the track "Architect", in which the performer compares people with simple ants. Fans noted the originality of the clip.
In mid-November 2017, on the hype wave, ATL releases a new album called "ATL - Distortion", which was highly appreciated by its audience and brought many new fans.
Personal life
Sergey hides his personal life very well, so there is no information about the artist's girlfriend, wife or children.
ATL today
Today, ATL is one of the most popular artists in the rap industry. It is noteworthy that many of the guests of Yuri Dudya, when asked about the best rappers in Russia, in most cases called ATL. Liked the article? Share in any social network and get a 10% discount.

ATL in the Aztecs group.
ATL spent all his youth in the Volga city of Novocheboksarsk. There he met with the work of Eminem, which prompted ATL to write the first tracks. In 2006, Sergei met 3 guys who at that time, just like him, tried to record their tracks. The guys decide to unite and create the Aztecs group. At first, the guys just gathered in the apartment, listened to Russian rap and freestyled, while not recording new tracks at all. The first composition of the group did not live long. In 2007, ATL and Vadya Bledny are 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 on the collection "The World Belongs to You". Aztecs decide not to miss the moment and send their track "MyWorldMyStyle". Steam liked the work of the guys, and he includes the Aztecs in his collection. After this success, the first listeners appeared for the group from Novocheboksarsk. In the same 2008, Aztecs take part in the coffee grinder-9 hip-hop festival and win. In 2009 Aztecs released their first album Now or Never. After that, the group begins a creative lull. It took the guys 3 whole years to release their second album - "Music will be above us." As it turned out, this was the last album of the Aztecs. In 2012, the group ceases to exist. 
ATL solo career
After the collapse of Aztecs, ATL does not abandon creativity and begins to record solo tracks. The rapper's style is gradually changing, occasionally trap compositions begin to come out. The first solo work did not have to wait long, the EP "Thoughts out loud" comes out a few months after the collapse of Aztecs. Further, at the end of 2012, the second EP, "Heat", was released.
At the end of 2013, ATL takes part in the sensational "Versus Battle" and wins the confrontation with Andy Cartwright. Thanks to this victory, the number of participants in the VK group ATL increases dramatically.
ATL's first truly serious solo work was released in 2014 - the full-length album "Bones". Many knew about the Cheboksary rapper before, but after the released album Russian rap the community started talking about ATL more massively. At the end of the creative year, ATL releases another one in addition to the first album - Cyclone Center.
But the most successful work of ATL is considered to be the album “Marabu” published in November 2015. This disc contains 10 songs. Before that, no Russian rapper had such a sound as in the tracks from "Marabu". Later, ATL released a rather high-quality video for the track "Iskra" from this album:
In the spring of 2017, ATL released the album "Limbo", which, like its predecessor "Marabu", shot very hard.
1. Nickname ATL comes from the airport code in Atlanta, Georgia. At the start of his career, ATL was a Southern American rap fanatic. Later, ATL, being in the Aztecs group, wanted to change his nickname, but after learning that the Aztecs had such a god, Atl, decided to leave the current pseudonym.
2. Many attribute ATL, like all other Cheboksary rappers (in particular Luperkal, Rip, Mate, etc.) to the creative association "White Chuvashia". But in fact, BB is just a made-up term by the Babangida troll from the hip-hop ru forum. And this term served to generalize this whole Cheboksary party.
3. Sergey himself openly declares that ATL is not a project of one person, but of three: MC, beatmaker, manager.
4. ATL has a very interesting mixtape "FCKSWG", which was re-released 3 times. 
Together with this artist, they are browsing biographies:
I can immediately explain why people will come to read our interview. Everyone is wondering this: how much does the black world of your songs correspond to the real you?
I broadcast what is happening around. You see, the surroundings are gloomy here. I wrote the whole album in Cheboksary, that's why it got its name. "Limbo". It's like a place cut off from the rest of the world. Especially in winter. Near Volga. You look at the river, beyond it ... When the horizon is not visible and everything is white-white - this is a natural limbo.
Where did the plots from the old Russian folklore come from on “Limba”?
I like old Russian motifs with my soul. Of the new ones, I only listen to Russian rap, of course. Ivan Kupala, MS Vspyshkin - that's all inspired. This music is wooden compared to what comes out today, but the spirit and vibration inherent in it throws me into a shamanic dance.
You can also hear it on the Karma x Coma mixtape, where I quoted Vspyshkin. That mixtape ended up with some verses that I worked out for the album.
When you sent me the non-record of the album, there the song “Holy Rave” was signed with the number “7”. Is this already the seventh edition?
All right. Sanya SmitBeat mixed this album for a very long time and painstakingly. He himself found fault with his work, then he redid it, I came - and also began to find fault, as they were running out of time, and concert dates had already been appointed. But we weren't going to sacrifice quality for a release date, so we tried to do it right, but not to drag it out. Sanya did everything beautifully.
On this album you talk a lot about space. Are you interested in this topic?
My astronaut, let's say, does not fly beyond the Earth's orbit. It is not known what is there. Some people convince me otherwise. That there is no space.
What do they mean?
I am pumped from time to time with all sorts of esoteric theories. I have a friend, he comes every day with a new theory of the universe. Like it or not, but this information settles inside. To be honest, I don’t know if a person has decided what is there instead of space. And does he even exist? Maybe there is nothing. Limbo.
What are the most common misconceptions about yourself?
No one knows me, but they are in a hurry to hang strange labels. Some people think I'm a Satanist. Someone - what a skinhead. Or a pagan. The most interesting thing is that I am not close to any of these archetypes.
Six months ago, you wrote on social networks about the search for a new concert manager. But the announcement itself and the tracklist of the album first appeared on the instagram of the old Pasha Kid.
It wasn't a "drain". Pasha and I are first and foremost friends. He wasn't our concert manager when we met him. I realized that he is my dude. Even this situation showed that he didn’t get confused and upset, but continues to support and rejoice for us. We communicate with him in exactly the same way as before.
Who is doing concerts now?
Now concerts are handled by SmitBeat.
The song "Mike" on the one hand is about the life of an artist on stage, on the other hand, about the lack of close people, because of which you can truly trust only a piece of metal.
And there is. I even say the phrase “my friend Mike is my totem” in one of the tracks. We are like shamans of our business, we pray and dance dances around him. I wrote this track directly for the microphone in our studio. This is a creature that will always listen to you. And this information will not be leaked to anyone if you do not want it yourself.
There is a cluster of artists, conventionally called "White Chuvashia". We've been following him for a couple of years now, but he's still not replenished with new people. Why?
This is not so, our livestock is growing. Now the Dark Faders studio has moved to a larger space. Since some part of the space is occupied by young people, also musicians, we began to actively communicate with them. Have you heard the last track recorded with Zaraza by Lupercal?
He reminded many people of Eecii McFly's vocals.
We have such a person now. I don’t know yet what drives him and what his plans are, but if he is on the same path with us, then why not. I talked to him at the studio, he is a very kind, sympathetic and, most importantly, talented dude. Anyone can join our ranks. Another question is how not to merge from there.
We are now in Cheboksary, there is some kind of rise in the spirit of hip-hop. The different people we started rapping with are starting to do their own stuff too. There are promising ones, I think.
Your next album will be with Eecii McFly, right?
I don't know yet what format the release will have. But yes, we are already collecting material. He sends me his hooks, ideas. Now we will roll back the tour, in between concerts we will try to work closely on the material. There is a possibility that by the next day of the equinox we will have time. We do not want to hurry, so that the release turns out to be normal. In parallel, I will be working on solo material as well, but as my experience with “Limbo” shows, I may need even more time to select material. Listened to Limb yesterday - and you know what? I would redo everything. The boys and I came to the conclusion that next time we just need to do it even cooler. “Marabou” doesn’t seem very good to me now. We constantly have such a reassessment of the quality of the material: you work and work on a track, listen to it, and then after some time you return to it - and grab your head.

Didn't Oxxxymiron call you again after heading the Booking Machine?
They offered several times. After we decided to move on our own, they wrote a couple more times: “Have you changed your mind there?”. But that was before Miron took over the company. The news about his stadium tour is very cool, such things pump the culture. I believe in Myron.
The gas holder also recently announced a restart. No offers?
Nobody called me to Gas. I am in touch with many guys from there. If I have questions about concert or musical activities, if I need advice, I know that I can always turn to them.
Moreover, they helped us a lot to shoot the video. I sincerely encouraged their assistance. They helped with advice. They helped with the site. When we were asked what kind of camera we would shoot with, the guys from Cuts & Scratches said, they say, there is this and this option, here Basta is like this: “So what, shoot with our RED. Look, behind our booth over there, in my opinion, she was lying. And there it really lies, dust is collected by a camera that costs like a car. They put it on the table, they say: “If you want, take it off, dudes.”
To sum up about Gasholder and Booking Machine. I learned a lot from watching them. When the offer from Booking Machine came, we sat down and thought: “Well done guys! They make concerts themselves, travel around the cities, everything is good for them. Why don’t we make a theme like that too?” That is, Booking Machine, when they started working with Lupercal, opened our eyes to how everything can be done by hand. The gas holder is also supported, I often consult with them. We are already receiving a lot of support, much more. To be honest, I probably just want to create my own label in the future. Don't get me wrong, I haven't thought about it yet. Once. In future. May be. We also have a creative party Acidhouze, we try to do everything ourselves. It looks like something is starting to happen. Let's see how far it goes.
What is it like to be a store owner?
I have a very responsible accomplice, and also, concurrently, good friend. He carries everything on his shoulders. He understands that we have a process in the studio, rehearsals, tours, recording. And he’s like, “No question, Sega. I will decide everything.” At the same time, he works at another job, a family man. We can say that the store manager is him.
Were you the initiator of its discovery?
This is a joint venture for two. We are owners with him in half.
Is this business profitable?
Profitable, probably, but we are still at the stage of beating off the money invested. To be honest, I'm not even very aware of the latest reporting.
What assortment?
Russian streetwear and our merch. For brands - Codered, because we ourselves wear and support each other for a long time; Laser B. - our friend from St. Petersburg; Krakatau, Spinning Top, Good Morning, Molotov, Heartburn, Taboon Comoon - many different items.
How interested are you in fashion?
I follow, but not enough to dress like a Formula 1 car. I support the blank style. I don't spend much time and energy on this. I'm interested, but not as much as many people think.
What's the weirdest commercial offer you've ever received?
Some sausage factory wrote. Offered to buy posts on instagram. Then I saw on Twitter that similar requests were received by LSP, Big Russian Boss, Yanix, and someone else. Apparently, the guys went to work after the New Year and climbed into the Internet to look for ambassadors.
The song “Back” is about the feelings of a person who abruptly sits down on a detox. Have you been through this yourself?
I can only say that I dedicated this track to my sidekick when he was trying to improve his life. Point in the right direction and give up something. This is for him.
Hairdryer, acid, "ekhi" I have never tried. Experienced guys, learning about this, say: “Sega, you're done. You don’t need it, don’t touch it.” Well, that's what I think. Plus, there is always the fear that if you try, you will like it.
What kind of music would you like to play at your funeral?
The essence of the song “Dance” is this: do what you want. Turn on the music you want. The main thing is that it is good. I will already be do not care.
Your songs are so rich in creepy, depressing images that it begs the question: are you sinking into depression while working on the material?
It's more like meditation. Falling off into the astral plane. In this state, you feel everything the same as in ordinary life, but those moments when some kind of rhyme builds up in your head ... It’s as if someone is throwing off a key for you from above. Piece of the puzzle. And you pick it up little by little. When he gathers at you - this sometimes happens purely by chance - you experience an unimaginable uplift. The feeling that you have created something.
What was your feeling when you wrote “1000”?
A feeling of contempt for humanity in general.
Why?
Because I myself am a part of it.
Do you think humanity is a virus?
It can be counted differently. You can come up with many theories. But if you look at it as a whole - isn't humanity destroying the planet? If, of course, the planet even exists. Everything is simple and banal.
I always wanted to ask you: do you think rockets will fall from the sky in the next 5 years?
You know, the chances are high. But I really hope not.
On April 1, the ATL “Holy Rave” concert tour starts, covering Moscow, St. Petersburg, Minsk, Kyiv and beyond.
AT-L - light artillery tractor. Created in 1947 by the design bureau of the Kharkov Tractor Plant. The AT-L light artillery tractor was produced until 1967 in several modifications and earned respect in the army and the national economy. It was widely used for the development of hard-to-reach regions of the USSR.
History
At the end of 1946, special equipment engineers of the Kharkov Tractor Plant, on the initiative of the chief designer N.G. Zubarev, began developing a fundamentally new light artillery tractor for towing trailers weighing up to 6 tons with a load on a platform of 2 tons with the same engine, but with more efficient and advanced transmission and chassis units, which would fully meet the increased requirements of the army. In this undertaking, they were actively supported by the GAU. The official decision in May 1947 to organize a special design group (since 1954 - GSKB) of 14 people for high-speed tractors at KhTZ, where they had not done this before, found the linkers in the midst of work, already at the drawing boards.
At the end of 1948, the first three prototypes were manufactured, which passed factory tests in 1949, interdepartmental tests at the beginning of 1950, and state tests at the end of the year. There were few comments on them. Modified two samples in 1951 - 1952 successfully passed military tests in the Arctic, at low temperatures, and in Turkmenistan - at high temperatures, with a high content of dust in the air. At the same time, combined air cleaners with ejection suction of dust from cyclones reliably protected the engine from increased wear.
At the end of 1952, KhTZ produced the first industrial batch of new artillery tractors, which received the army index AT-L (light).
Design Description
The only suitable and affordable General Motors (GMS, GMC) YaAZ-204I engine (110 hp) for this task had limited power, the main link in the concept of the new tractor was the use of a multi-radius turning mechanism with double supply and power recovery , which significantly reduces its losses, in comparison with the side clutch, which facilitates control and increases average speeds in difficult conditions.
To create a tighter layout, increase the usable area of the body, reduce its loading height and improve weight distribution, the engine was turned forward with the flywheel forward with a maximum shift to the bow for the first time in this class of cars and connected in a single compact unit with the front transmission. Was used, although not fully, the amazing ability to flexibly convert a two-stroke diesel type (GMS) (up to 12 options for the location of units in any direction of rotation), as well as the subsequent possibility of a significant increase in its power, however, to the detriment of efficiency.
To improve reliability, all auxiliary units of the engine, except for the generator (500 W), received gear drives (a fan located far ahead - through an elastic torsion bar from the camshaft), and to facilitate cold start, an injector water-oil boiler-heater was provided (except for the standard electric flare air heating). Starting was carried out only by an electric starter. The oil system was modernized in order to ensure normal operation of the engine with longitudinal slopes up to 35 °, which was not easy to achieve with a “wet” crankcase. The power unit was powered from two fuel tanks of 130 liters each, which had all the necessary equipment and instruments, as well as wide necks for high-speed refueling. Subsequently (since July 1962), two additional 100-liter tanks were placed, which increased the cruising range on the highway to 500 km. In front of the engine, behind the single-disk main clutch (reinforced YaAZ automobile clutch), there was a transverse five-speed gearbox, switched using gear clutches (without synchronizers), and planetary friction gears and rotation (MPP) on parallel power flows. As a result, nine gears were obtained for moving forward with favorable, that is, small ratios between them (including four slow ones, with a smooth transition to them without breaking the power flow) with a total power range of 9.295 (for the M-2 - 7.918), as well as five calculated turning radii (without power loss in clutches), decreasing from 17.66 m to 1.9 m with decreasing gear number. In principle, it was also possible to turn on the spot by rotating the tracks in different directions (it was rarely used on a new tractor), which is unthinkable in the case of use in the BF. Better than on the M-2, maneuvering with a trailer was also possible. Such MPPs - more complex, but also more efficient - were used on our tracked vehicles for the first time. They turned out to be structurally rational, so they were subsequently used on light transporters and tractors of the second post-war generation: MT-P, MT-PB, GT-T. The front drive sprockets were driven from the MPP through coaxial, very compact planetary final drives with a decent gear ratio of 5.5. Their removable double toothed rims, cast from heat-treated wear-resistant steel, with a pushing lantern gear, increased the efficiency and durability of the caterpillar mover and were no longer its weak link.
Fine-pitched (123 mm pitch) caterpillar chains with open hinges, made of high-manganese, Hadfield steel, very resistant to abrasive wear and shock loads, had tracks 300 mm wide (half of them without ridges) with developed lugs. They provided high traction - the coefficient of adhesion on sod soil reached 0.7 - 0.8. To improve the grip of tracks with a slippery base (for example, an icy winter road), additional lugs (spurs) and extensions could be put on the tracks (through one), which provided the tractor without a trailer with a side roll of up to 25 °. Usually they were put 10 pieces on the caterpillar. The small diameter of the connecting pins (20 mm) of relatively light tracks and their large number (82 per side) contributed to a decrease in rolling resistance, especially at high speeds and an improvement in the dynamic qualities of the tractor. Subsequently, given the speed and widespread use of the tractor, were carried out great work to reduce wear of track joints and, importantly, mechanical losses in them. Connecting fingers with chemical hardening, closed (with the help of rubber silent-block seals) hinges with dry metal and plastic friction pairs were worked out. The latter reduced losses in the hinges so much (besides, the track pitch was reduced to 107 mm) that the free run-out path from maximum speed (42 km / h) to a complete stop increased by 47.4% (up to 261 m).
The undercarriage of the tractor consisted of six cast, with a rubberized rim, road wheels, of a relatively small diameter (500 mm), on each side (for the M-2, five rollers with stamped sidewalls) and three support rollers without rubber bandages. Such a multi-support undercarriage was traditional for light tractors. It provided a more even distribution of the load on the ground and had a lower mass. The full elastic travel of the individual torsion bar suspension of each of the road wheels was noticeably increased compared to the M-2 (by 39.4%), which ensured a high ride smoothness over rough terrain, approaching the car even in the absence of hydraulic shock absorbers, and also increased average speed movement. The damping of resonant vibrations in the suspension was facilitated by the work of friction of the axes of the balancer levers in hardened bushings without the use of lubrication - “in a tractor way”, and quite reliable, with sufficient durability. The dynamic travel of the suspension arms was limited by stops with elastic rubber elements. For the first time, instead of a frame, a welded thin-sheet load-bearing box-shaped body (pontoon) was used. This significantly reduced the weight of the tractor with higher strength and reliability. carrier system, improved the location of the units inside the case, increased its tightness. When overcoming a ford up to 1 m, which was required by the customer, water no longer got inside the hull, and the access of dust and dirt was limited. The streamlined shape of the bow of the hull and the smooth bottom contributed to the improvement of patency when driving in deep snow.
In the middle part of the tractor, under the floor of the body, a very low (in height) reversible winch with a self-braking worm gearbox and a narrow vertical drum was placed, which made it possible to do without a cable layer. However, a safety clutch (against overload), a cable unwind alarm sensor (50 m) and cable take-off rollers are standard. The maximum pulling force of the winch - 6500 kgf, commensurate with the mass of the towed trailer, was quite sufficient for pulling up standard artillery systems and self-pulling the tractor in any conditions.
The successful design and location of the winch made it possible to reduce the loading height of the platform by 119 mm, compared to the M-2, making it convenient to use. For confident movement with heavy trailers and artillery systems equipped with air brakes, the tractor had an automobile compressor with a hard drive from the engine, an air receiver, a trailer brake valve connected to the stop brake pedal, and all the systems serving them. Both windshield wipers were also connected to the pneumatic system, and subsequently windshield washers.
There was no special need for the MPP servo control and stopping brakes (due to compressed air) for a light car. The rear swivel (with fixation) towing hitch of the simplest type with double-sided shock absorption met the requirements of gunners for traction, but only at first. Subsequently, it was necessary to complicate it to reduce dynamic loads in the coupling and increase the wear resistance of the hook-and-loop pair.
Behind the engine, a closed alligator-type hood, with removable sidewalls, an all-metal three-seat cab of the ZIS-160 was installed, somewhat lowered in height and expanded due to a 240-mm middle insert. A round commander's hatch was made in the roof, the windshields were electrically heated (the engine itself heated the cabin well, so an air heater was not installed, however, it was also absent on trucks of those years). But since 1963, they began to use a device for flushing dirt from the windshield - very useful and effective.
For the first time, a searchlight was installed, outdoor lighting had a blackout mode. In an open metal welded body with a platform of 4.62 m2, longitudinal folding four-seater seats were installed along the sides for calculation, and in the rear end of the body there was a double-leaf door with a lock. If necessary, the body could be tightly closed with a waterproof awning with side windows. It should be noted that the platform is sufficiently spacious with a relatively small total length of the tractor - the result of a dense layout. For communication between the cabin (commander) and the body (senior crew), a two-way three-color light signaling was carried out.
The average speed with a full load and a 6-ton trailer off-road reached 22 - 25 km / h, due to more advanced transmission and suspension with a slightly higher power density.

Sergey Kruppov, better known to everyone under the pseudonym ATL, is a rap artist from the city of Novocheboksarsk.
Sergei spent his childhood in his native city. From an early age, he got 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 Sergey himself says, he likes different music. Probably even the whole, except perhaps for the 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 only got together, listened to Russian rap and tried to freestyle. Sergei took the nickname ATL, which means the code for the airport in Atlanta. Later he wanted to change it, but left it when he found out that the Aztecs had Atl, the god of water.
A year later, two guys leave 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 "MyMirMyStyle" to rapper St1m, who at that time was looking for tracks for the "The World Belongs to You" compilation.
