Biography of Sergey Kruppov (ATL)
In his hometown, the future rapper lived most of his life. As a child, he became a fan of the American singer Eminem. Sergei believed that he, too, would be able to achieve results such as his idol. When he was 13 years old, Curtis Hanson's 8 Mile movie was released. The motion picture only added confidence to the future rapper, and boldly continued to go towards his goal.
During his school years, Kruppov always participated in various musical events, where he soon met with his future partners. The boy’s parents did not discourage him from making unusual music and even helped improve his talent.
Before seriously engaging in musical activity, Sergey began to think about his pseudonym. He recalled the short name for Atlanta Airport (ATL). It was these three letters that Krupp took for himself as a nickname.
Carier start
For the first time in his life, Sergey Kruppov began performing at the age of twenty. The singer himself said that the concert was held at a city celebration. There he met his friends and colleagues in musical creativity. A little later, the guys decided to organize a group called Aztecs.
At first, the newly-minted team did not give concerts, but simply broadcast their hits via the Internet. In 2007, the guys began to think about writing an album and promoting the group. The following year, the team took part in the recording of the album of the popular rapper Nikita Legostev, whom many know under the pseudonym ST1M. The disc was given the name "The World Belongs to You". The band Aztecs lit up in the composition "My World, My Style".
Musical creativity
In 2009, Sergey Kruppov and his team decided to take part in the coffee-grinder rapper event. The guys won the festival and received a prize. In the same period, the guys did not waste their creative fervor and began working on their first album, which they called "Now or Never." The following year, the concerts of Sergey Kruppov (ATL) and his team were significantly reduced. Soon, the Russian group completely disappeared from the scene.
Once the well-known group Aztecs made itself known again only in 2012. The guys worked on their second and last disc, “Music will be on us.” After joint creative work, the team decided to disband the group. But friends will intersect more than once thanks to their love of music.
Solo career
After the breakup of the once-popular group, Sergey Kruppov began working on his solo albums Heat and Thoughts Aloud. Thanks to these records, the rapper became even more famous, and a year later he was invited to take part in the offline battle site Versus Battle. The project manager was Alexander Timartsev, who is familiar to many as a restaurateur.
At this show, Sergey defeated his opponent by the name of Andy Cartwright. However, the young man immediately realized that battles were not his way. When he was again asked to sing with someone on such projects, Kruppov immediately rejected the offer.
Soon, the rapper was completely immersed in musical creativity. As a result, the guy released his next solo album, entitled "Bones." After some time, Sergey showed the people one more disc, “Cyclone Center”. At the same time, the talented musician worked on the clips “C4” and “Natural Born Killers”.
In 2015, ATL announced the premiere of its next solo album, Marabu. After this work, the young man realized that he wanted to start touring the CIS countries. Without delaying the decision, Sergey immediately began to act. In his spare time from concerts, Kruppov works on three clips: “Skull and Bones”, “Mandrake Root” and “Snowdrop”.

In addition, more experienced creative colleagues spoke positively about the rising star: Basta, Vladi (Casta), Guf and Noize MC.
Personal life
It is known that the Russian rapper is not married. There is currently no information about any romantic relationship. In addition, Sergey Kruppov was never seen in the company of girls. This suggests that the young musician does not want to let outsiders into his personal life.

He does not like to tell fans and journalists the most secret. The main thing in his life is to always develop in the musical direction. Sergey believes that discussing personal life can interfere with career development.
Kruppov has his own business in Cheboksary. He holds a clothing store with his good friend. The guys gave the name KARMA x KOMA boutique. This store mainly sells street-style clothing.
