Artem Shatokhin

Boulevard Depo is a Russian performer who is considered the founder of a new trend in Russian rap. He himself refers to the genre of his music as weedwave, and critics use the terms cloud-rap and trap. The musician considers melancholy as the main feature of creativity, since, according to him, he is not inclined to see life in pink, but he also has cheerful and life-affirming compositions.

The rapper's real name is Artem Sergeevich Shatokhin. He doesn't like to talk about himself, and the music community doesn't even know how old he is. According to unconfirmed information, Boulevard Depo was born on June 1 or 2, 1991. Artem is a native of Ufa, but he spent part of his childhood in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Later, the parents of the future musician returned to Ufa, where he graduated from school.

In high school, Artyom became interested in graffiti and, together with his friends, all the time "hung out" on the city streets. He was also interested in music - in his youth, the rapper was a member of the Never Been Crew. Artem said that his father tried to instill in him a taste for rock music, put on songs by The Beatles and Pink Floyd, but he never got into classic hits and made a choice in favor of rap.

Artem recorded his debut songs at home using primitive equipment. The first audience was friends and acquaintances, among whom there was a man who offered the rapper help with professional design of the tracks. At first, Shatokhin took a short pseudonym Depo, and later decided to add the word "boulevard" to it - Boulevard. After graduating from school, the young man entered the university at the Faculty of Law, but his studies were of little interest. He devoted himself to music, and to earn money he worked as a cook in a local catering.

An important stage in the biography of Boulevard Depo was the move to St. Petersburg in 2009, where new opportunities opened up for him. At this time, the musician presented to the public a new collection, Place of Distribution. Together with 2 friends, he founded the L'Squad group, with which they began to give their first concerts, but the group did not last long.

A friend named i61 left L'Squad after 3 years, and the second member, Hera Ptah, also quickly lost interest in the project. Left alone, Boulevar Depo recorded the EvilTwin mixtape, but only the next record, Dopey, made it popular.

Artem considers rap music rather boring and strives to bring originality to it. During his first experiments, he came to the conclusion that the cloud-rap style suits him best, in which none of the Russian musicians had worked before him. The peculiarity of the style is “foggy” sound, the desire to make the sound a little mystical. Also, cloud rap is characterized by melancholic, dreamy lyrics on lyrical themes, which is close to the musician. Boulevard Depo says that since childhood, he tends to have a gloomy outlook on life:

The new album includes 8 tracks, the most famous of which is the remix of the Tatu song “They won't catch us”. In 2014, the rapper met his colleague Gleb Golubin (Pharaoh), and together they recorded the song "Champagne Squirt". Subsequently, the first clip in the musician's career was shot on her. The video of the spectacular girls in the bathroom went viral and quickly gained millions of views on YouTube.

2015 was a very productive year for Boulevar Depo. In addition to the release of the new album Rapp, in the recording of which rappers i61 and Jeembo helped him, the musician became the founder of the YungRussia association and took part in the recording of Paywall. At the end of the year, the performer delighted fans with another album, Otricala. Out of 13 tracks, 3 became popular: "Denied", "Mom's jacket" and "Pavel Topsky".

A couple of months later, "Plaksheri" was released - the fruit of the joint work of Boulevard Depo and rapper Pharaoh. The title of the collection is made up of 2 words - "luxury" and "cry". The video for the song "5 Minutes Ago", shocking and impudent, became another hit on Youtube. In 2016, the musicians continued to work together, recording the disc Rare Gods. Friends helped the rappers with her - Obe Kanobe and Thomas Mraz.

A year later, the discography of Boulevar Depo was replenished with the albums Sport and Sweet Dreams. The musician also published a video for the song Carousel, filmed in 360 degrees.

Boulevard Depo says that so far there have been no serious hobbies in his life and he is not interested in his personal life. According to the rapper, now he wants to be more involved in creativity and in the breaks "to have fun" with friends than to spend time on novels.

The artist calls himself a harsh and straightforward person. He states that he is not one of the musicians obsessed with his fan base and tries not to think too much about the fans:

Boulevard Depo cannot play any musical instrument.

In an interview, the performer admitted that he often “dabbled” in drugs together with the yard company, and this experience was reflected in his work. The musician maintains a rather popular Instagram account, where he uploads photos from concerts, rehearsals and friendly parties.

Today the rapper is working a lot on new songs, and his career is going uphill. In May 2018, he presented a new album Rapp 2, which became a continuation of the previous disc. The most popular on it was the composition "Burns". Also in 2018, Boulevard Depo published a video for the song "Kashchenko" and posted on the Web "I am flying" - an old track that was supposed to be included in the Sweet Dreams album.

The Sobaka magazine included him in the list of the 50 most famous people of St. Petersburg, and a documentary about the work of Boulevard Depo - "Dear and fantastically sad", was released on YouTube.
