ДЕЦЛ. The Voice of Russian Hip-Hop. The Story of Kirill Tolmatsky Through the Eyes of Friends and Loved Ones

“The Voice of Russian Hip-Hop” — the only book about the cult artist, compiled from stories told by his father, friends, and people who were there in the key periods of his life — with exclusive comments recorded specifically for the audiobook.

This is not a retelling of facts from the internet. This is how it really was.

Without embellishment or omissions: only firsthand testimony from those who knew Kirill Tolmatsky for real.

In front of you is the story of a loud rise that the whole country witnessed, and the flip side of fame that is usually left unspoken. How was the image, which became a symbol of a generation, created? What remained offstage when a teenager with dreads turned into the voice of a new era? And why did the confrontation with his father turn out to be both a source of strength and a deep wound?

This is the first full-fledged book about DeЦl, told from within and from several perspectives at once. Instead of myths and retellings — real voices of close people.

For the audio version, DJ Грув, LSP, Yanix, Nomad Punk, and others shared their memories of Kirill Tolmatsky, their impressions of his music, and their assessment of his influence on Russian rap.
