Scum’s legacy began in 1995 when he moved from Moscow, Russia to Denver, Colorado.  The motivation behind his departure from Russia was the mandatory draft that he was facing and since in his motherland that means 2 years of unpaid military service, Scum had to stick to his motto – “If you can’t get paid for it, it’s not worth doing” and shake the spot.  Shortly after arriving to Colorado he discovered the world of underground rap, being heavily influenced by such extreme rap 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 write raps 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 release his self produced “Violent Verses” cd 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 Killah’s solo albums which are produced by F.D.R. (a hot original producer who is also doing a lot of the production on Scum’s new album and producing for both Borey and True Killah along with a variety of local arists) and are due to be released on Lyrikal Snuff Productionz throughout the year. True Killah is one of the 2 Develop.Mental members (FDR being the other) which is another tight lyrical hip hop act that’s part of the LSP fam. He is coming with a wide variety of hot flows ranging from thug anthems to even more mainstream cuts. True Killah got a heavy East Coast flavor to his raps and is vet of this rap game always worth hearing, buying, or checking out live. Borey is coming at you with them raw street gangsta flows which are West Coast/Midwest oriented but whatever they are labeled as…the shit is hot! (Scum sais “I can put Borey against any rapper in Colorado and sleep good at night after betting all my money on him. When his CD drops, it will blow your minds”)   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 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.  Beware!
