| Biography |
Scum’s legacy began in 1995 when he moved from Moscow, Russia to Denver, Colorado. Shortly after arriving to Colorado he discovered the world of underground rap, being heavily influenced by such acts as Esham, Doomsday Productions, Ganxsta Nip, Brotha Lynch Hung and Natas. He began writing rhymes in Russian while trying to get his English knowledge to the level which would allow him to rap in it. In 1998, he founded DL (Denver Lowlifes) with DJ Sevill and in 1999 they released their “On the Edge” demo which was recorded by Kasper of the E.W.T. at Wicked Creations Studio. Shortly after the demo was out, Kasper joined Scum to form LnG in 2000. Lyrikal Snuff Productionz was born. While working on their debut album, Scum was also involved in another horrorcore project – The Underground Cult, which broke up shortly after recording their “Insanity” Demo. Finally in 2001 LnG’s “Lyrikal Snuff” cd was released. As soon as it hit the stores, the drama began. Due to its graphic and violent content the CD was banned by a variety of stores and distribution companies resulting in the duo having a hard time trying to find venues which would allow them to perform. Due to all those difficulties and the growing tension between Scum and Kasper on the personal level they decided that it was time to go their separate ways and LnG broke up in 2002 half way through the recording of their sophomore album – “Murderous Intentions.” At that point Scum decided to pursue his solo career and after recording the “Solitary Confinement” and “Forced Suicide” demos in 2002 he hooked up with Airtight, who produced his “Lethal Overdose” demo and his debut solo release “Enter the Asylum” in 2003. Later that year, Scum parted ways with Airtight and moved on to put out his collection of unreleased self produced tracks - “Violent Verses” in 2004. Both of Scum’s solo albums are widely distributed in Colorado unfortunately lacking the nationwide distribution that is needed to introduce the underground rap listeners in other states to Scum’s disturbing yet creative art. Currently Scum is finishing his new solo album which should be released in the summer/fall of 2005. He is also heavily involved in the recording of Borey’s and True Killia’s solo albums which are produced by F.D.R. (the same cat who is also doing a lot of the production on Scum’s new album) and are due to be released on Lyrikal Snuff Productionz throughout the year. Both the artists are currently performing a variety of shows along with Scum. They have developed a strong local following and their energy driven, aggressive and insane performances are not to be described, they are to be seen. Scum is also in process of recording his first all-Russian CD with all of the rapping done in his native tongue to be distributed throughout the Eastern Europe along with the Russian communities in the U.S. For more info, to order shit or to contact us about a possible collabo, go to www.gorehop.com and shoot us an email.
