Tovaritch

Tovaritch is a French rapper and producer of Russian descent who's carved out a unique niche blending trap beats with Slavic-flavored storytelling. Known for his deep, gravelly voice and cinematic Soviet-era aesthetics, his tracks like "BRATVA 2," "Tokarev," and "Baba Yaga" mix French and Russian lyrics over hard-hitting instrumentals, often referencing Eastern European mafia lore and street culture. Emerging from the Parisian underground scene around 2018, he's become a key figure in the "3 Kremlin" collective, channeling his heritage through ominous basslines and lyrics that bounce between bravado and dark humor. While keeping personal details private, his music consistently delivers a vodka-shot-strong mix of trap energy and Cold War nostalgia, complete with music videos featuring vintage Ladas and tracksuit chic.
