ATL (Sergey Kruppov) is a Russian hip-hop artist. Former member of the music group Aztecs. Born on January 30, 1989 in Novocheboksarsk, Chuvash ASSR, RSFSR, USSR.
Listening to this artist's tracks on official streaming platforms, social media, and other services indirectly contributes to financing the war — through taxes paid to the budget of the Russian Federation.
In 2020, the track "Braslety" («Handcuffs») was released, which turned out to be strikingly prophetic:
Handcuffs over handcuffs, handcuffs over handcuffs. There isn't even room left on the wrists. They pack people into police vans like briquettes.
At the close of 2021, ATL released the track "Yashchik" («The TV Box») targeting Russian state propaganda:
Glanced at Channel One on an empty stomach, tossing my faith into the collective pot. Like a corpse in a body bag, the remote control sits in a bag. Having robbed grandma of her mind, the bovine eye stares intently. And it preaches to me that tomorrow will be better than yesterday. An agent here, an agent there — spraying chemical reagent over our free homeland.
ATL’s Position on the War in Ukraine
Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, on February 26, 2022, rapper ATL posted on Twitter a quote from George Orwell's novel «1984»: “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”, thereby characterizing Russian state policy.
On March 9, 2022, a post appeared with a quote from the song "Braslety":
"Give me all your children,
"Give me all your children
And we gave up all our children"
The face of the antichrist devouring "our children" bore an unmistakable resemblance to Putin's face:
On March 10, a subsequent tweet read: "F*** the war":
In addition to anti-war publications, the artist also reposted announcements for charity concerts by Oxxxymiron, Noize MC, and Monetochka organized in support of Ukrainian refugees.
On May 5, 2022, the musician published a post on Twitter regarding the postponement of concerts and the fratricidal war:
Guys, forgive me, a sinner, but I cannot find any moral strength within myself to play concerts while this senseless fratricidal war continues. All concerts are temporarily rescheduled to September. If you wish, you can obtain a refund for your tickets. NO TO WAR.
The artist continues writing songs and touring across cities of the Russian Federation. In 2024, a major concert tour across Russian cities was conducted. According to ATL's fans, a distinct anti-war perspective remains evident throughout the lyrics of his music.
