Skryptonite

Skryptonite first made headlines in 2013 with a video for the song VBVVCTND, a year and a half later he released his debut album House with Normal Phenomena, which became one of the most successful Russian-language rap albums of 2015. In 2018, he split his work into two projects: Skryptonite and Gruppa Skryptonite. As Adil himself explained, this distinction applies not only to the recording of songs, but also to concerts. Thus, Gruppa Skryptonite's concerts are an eight-member band and new arrangements, while Skryptonite's concerts are a 'rapper + DJ' format and a performance with backing music. Skriptonite describes his work as 'Kazakh rap' and disapproves of those who call him a 'Russian performer' performing 'Russian rap'.

His first lyrics were about children's problems and school, followed by a short period of so-called 'rap about rap', and in the early 2010s he began to address current topics. In his songs, unlike other Russian-speaking rappers experimenting with 'deep' lyrics, Skriptonit emphasises the musical element. His peculiar pronunciation, which he jokingly calls 'Yeltsin-fiu', and his 'half-drunk' voice gave his debut album a unique sound. To avoid being influenced by others, Scriptonite hardly listens to songs in Russian, including those by other rap artists. After the release of the album House with Normal Phenomena, the famous rapper Oxxxymiron praised Scriptonite's work, noting the high level of "musical madness and originality". The album was also praised by other musicians Pencil (Denis Grigoryev), Johnyboy (Denis Vasilenko), ATL (Sergey Kruppov),[66] Ivan Dorn, Guf (Alexei Dolmatov). In July 2021, together with Indablack and qurt, Skryptonite released the album Bad Habits. In December of the same year, a joint album The Genetic Code with Gee Baller was released, which became Scryptonite's first English-language album.
