OBLADAET: Influences

OBLADAET cuts a formidable figure in Russian hip-hop. The rapper claimed the spotlight with a style and flow as smooth as butter, drawing inspiration from millennial contemporaries like Lil Yachty and Rich The Kid, but injecting his own laidback swagger. In fact, much of his hazy grime beats, discordant sirens and savage bass lines are echoes of Atlanta's finest—and the US scene's new wave.
