"LSP": composition of the group, photos of participants
For the most part, under the name "LSP" they mean rapper Oleg Savchenko. But in recent years, “LSP” has nevertheless become a group, since in addition to Oleg, the recently deceased Roma Englishman worked on creating songs. However, out of habit, the pseudonym "LSP" is called one Oleg or Oleg LSP is said.
Biography of Oleg Savchenko
Oleg was born in the Belarusian city of Vitebsk in a family of journalists. From an early age he showed interest in music, and the boy's parents fully supported his hobbies. Father even bought little Oleg a piano. But failed to make the boy a serious pianist in a classical costume. Oleg found himself in a completely different genre.
Oddly enough, “Star Factory - 4” became a turning point in his life: Oleg’s eyes lit up when he first saw rappers on Channel One. The boy dreamed of becoming that guy from the screen, such as Decl or Timati ... And he became. At a more conscious age, the future rapper admired the work of already rock musicians: Zemfira, Mumiy Troll, King and the Jester. And, of course, the appearance in the television box of American "gangsta rappers" also complemented the tangle of impressions of a teenager. Then he did not even suspect that “LSP” - the group in which he would be the main character - would become so popular.
Oleg graduated from the philology department, could become a teacher, but, thank God, the fate of the musician was different. That is why the songs "LSP" are written with a special style and taste, even though they have a lot of foul language. Poems in a beautiful musical wrapper - this is what the band creates.
The early work of Oleg
After entering the university, the guy had his first successes in his musical career. In 2007 Oleg recorded his first track “I understood everything”, and in the same year he tried himself on the site hip-hop.ru, in which 4 rounds passed. At the same time, compositions such as "The Magician" and "Streets" appeared, which were included in Oleg's first mini-album, "Seeing Color Dreams" (July 1, 2011).
“A crazy hippie became my father, a metalworker in ripped jeans became a mother,” are the words of the unusual and atmospheric song “Hippie”. And on July 1, 2011, the country saw a clip for this composition, amateur, strange, but the melody of the song did not defeat the very professional picture.
Acquaintance with Roma, first successes
At one of the parties, Oleg met Roma, the guys immediately realized that they had a lot in common. After some time, the result of joint creativity appeared - the song "Numbers", which raised the group to a new level. From that moment, Roma and Oleg began to work with particular zeal on each track. Result: from the solo project the duet “LSP” turned out. A group whose composition and songs won the hearts of rap lovers.
The next hit of the group was the track "Cocktail", released in 2013. It was already different from previous compositions, since during this period LSP experimented with genres.
2014 was a very fruitful year for the group. They released two whole albums: "Fuck" and "Gallows." The division of labor among the guys here worked with a bang: Roma wrote music, and Oleg wrote the lyrics. From that moment on, “LSP” albums began to be built on heroes, on their fates and stories. From the melodic hipster hop, the guys move on to more aggressive lyrics. The public and critics greeted both albums with a bang, and "LSP" gained even greater authority among hip-hop culture. The new image of the LSP group, which included Roma, attracted more and more attention.
Conflict with Booking Machine
In 2014, the guys signed a contract with the well-known booking agency Booking Machine. The head of the agency, Ilya Mamay, was advised by the famous rapper Oxxymiron. He vouched for the guys, while Mamai did not see anything special in them. After signing the contract, together with Miron, “LSP” recorded the track “I am bored of living”, which The Flow website included in the list of the best 50 songs of 2014.
A year later, the guys are breaking the contract with the agency. In 2015, LSP had very few concerts, they blamed Booking Machine for this. Oxxymiron asked the group not to advertise their departure, but the guys, on the contrary, began to trumpet this to everyone, and in a particularly critical form. On April 1, 2016, LSP presented their new track Imperial, recorded with the Porchy rapper. It was a diss (hip-hop trend) at Oxxymiron, thanks to which LSPs became known to a wide audience. But the song is unique in that it also has Miron’s diss for the guys. The first diss in the history of the diss, in which, according to The Flow, "a clash of two generation heroes" was reflected. The whole country watched this conflict with aspiration, and Oxxymiron even posted an hour-long video on its Youtube channel, where it explained its vision of this conflict.
Magic city
On July 19, the Magic City album was released, for the most part Oleg was involved in its creation as the main soloist of the LSP group, but Roma was still engaged in producing, and he also produced. The strip club was called the magical city of “LSP”. It is also depicted on the cover of the album. However, critics ambiguously perceived the new release. In their opinion, the album lacked the integrity of the plot, and there was too much pressing melancholy and melancholy in it. Magic City fans definitely liked the LSP, but failed to beat the success of past albums.
Confectionery
Together with cloud rapper Pharaoh "LSP" September 30, 2016 released a mini-album "Confectionery". This project was a real joy for the fans of these talented musicians. Cloud rap of the novice rapper Pharaoh, along with complex lyrics and unusual music of the group "blew up" the audience. Later, the guys went on a joint Cake Factory tour.
Tragic city
The album, released on April 28, 2017, continues the concept of Magic City. The hero of the album, as usual, is a poet who is tired of life; real mental storms occur inside him. There is a lot of the smell of death, longing, hopelessness, and after listening to all the compositions of the album, it is simply impossible to get rid of sad thoughts. But here there is a positive side - the experiences from songs pour into catharsis, that is, spiritual cleansing through suffering. Therefore, if the fans of hip-hop have accumulated negativity, let them boldly listen to this album, only be careful.
Roma Englishman from the group "LSP"
Photo of Roma Englishman below. Roman Sashekko (real name), put a lot of effort into “LSP” - a group in which he was able to realize himself. Perhaps without him she would not have achieved such success. Roma starred in just one clip, "Coin", views of which have already exceeded 10 million.
Terrible headlines thundered in the media on July 30: “A member of the LSP group passed away. This event shocked fans. And now the usual words from the song“ Coin ”sounded like prophetic, and the image of the death of the last album was not a way, but a real event The cause of Roma’s death is still unknown, but the Englishman used large amounts of alcohol and drugs, many fans see this as the cause of the tragedy.
No matter how much they guess, the fact remains that the more talented and bright participant of the LSP group will not be able to create, but his contribution will not remain forgotten. On August 5, Oleg said: “Roma has become a huge part of me, for which I will move on with renewed vigor. A part of me that will never die. And the show, as you know, should go on.”
