"LSP" is a famous youth music group performing hip-hop music with electronic elements. Over the 10 years of its existence, the group has released 7 albums, and since 2013, “LSP” has become a real idol among the younger generation of listeners.

For the most part, the name “LSP” refers to rapper Oleg Savchenko. But in last years“LSP” nevertheless became a group, since in addition to Oleg, Roma the Englishman, who had recently passed away, also worked on creating songs. However, out of habit, only Oleg is called by the pseudonym “LSP” or they say Oleg LSP.
Biography of Oleg Savchenko
Oleg was born in the Belarusian city of Vitebsk into a family of journalists. He showed an interest in music from an early age, and the boy’s parents fully supported his hobbies. His father even bought little Oleg a piano. But it was not possible to turn the boy into a serious pianist in a classical suit. Oleg found himself in a completely different genre.
The turning point in his life was, oddly enough, “Star Factory - 4”: Oleg’s eyes lit up when he saw the rappers for the first time on Channel One. The boy dreamed of becoming that guy from the screen, like Decl or Timati... And he became. At a more conscious age, the future rapper admired the work of rock musicians: Zemfira, Mumiy Troll, The King and the Jester. And, of course, the appearance of American “gansta rappers” on television also added to the teenager’s tangle of impressions. 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 Faculty of Philology and could have become a teacher, but, thank God, the musician’s fate turned out differently. That is why the songs of “LSP” are written with a special style and taste, even though they contain a lot of obscene language. Poems in a beautiful musical wrapper - that's what the group creates.
Oleg's early work
After entering the university, the guy had his first successes in musical career. In 2007, Oleg recorded his first track “I understood everything”, and in the same year he tried himself on the hip-hop.ru site, where he completed 4 rounds. At the same time, such compositions as “Mag” and “Streets” appeared, included in Oleg’s first mini-album “Seeing Colorful Dreams” (July 1, 2011).
“The crazy hippie became my father, the metalhead in torn jeans became my mother,” and the atmospheric song “Hippie.” And on July 1, the country saw a video for this composition, amateur, strange, but the melody of the song defeated the not very professional picture.
Meeting 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 on, Roma and Oleg began to work together with special diligence on each track. Result: the solo project turned into the duet "LSP". A group whose composition and songs won the hearts of rap lovers.
The group's next hit 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: “YOB” and “Hangman”. The guys' division of labor worked like a charm here too: Roma wrote the music, and Oleg wrote the lyrics. From that moment on, LSP albums began to be built on heroes, on their destinies and stories. From melodic hipster hop, the guys move on to more aggressive lyrics. Both albums were received with enthusiasm by the public and critics, and “LSP” gained even greater authority among hip-hop culture. The new image of the LSP group, in which Roma appeared, attracted more and more attention.
Conflict with Booking Machine
In 2014, the guys signed a contract with the famous booking agency Booking Machine. He advised the group to the head of the agency Ilya Mamaia famous rapper Oxxymiron. He vouched for the guys, while Mamai did not see anything special in them. After signing a contract, together with Miron, LSP recorded the track “I'm Bored of Life,” which The Flow website included in the list of the best 50 songs of 2014.
A year later, the guys break their contract with the agency. In 2015, LSP had very few concerts, and 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 manner. On April 1, 2016, LSP presented their new track Imperial, recorded with rapper Porchy. It was a diss (a trend in hip-hop) on Oxxymiron, thanks to which “LSP” became known to a wide audience. But the song is unique in that it also contains Miron’s diss to the guys. The first diss in history, which reflected, according to The Flow, “the clash of two heroes of a generation.” The whole country watched this conflict with awe, and Oxxymiron even posted an hour-long video on his Youtube channel, where he explained his vision of this clash.
Magic City
On July 19, the album Magic City was released, in the creation of which Oleg participated for the most part as the main soloist of the LSP group, but Roma was still involved in the production, and he also produced. The strip club was called the magical city "LSP", and it is depicted on the cover of the album. However, critics had mixed reactions to the new release. In their opinion, the album lacked the integrity of the plot, and there was too much oppressive melancholy and melancholy in it. Magic City definitely appealed to LSP fans, but it failed to surpass the success of past albums.
Confectionery
Together with cloud rapper Pharaoh "LSP" they released the mini-album "Confectionery" on September 30, 2016. This project has become a real joy for fans of these talented musicians. Beginner's cloud rap rapper Pharaoh along with complex texts and the group's unusual music "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 Magic City concept. The hero of the album, as usual, is a poet tired of life, with real emotional storms going on inside him. There is a lot of smell of death, melancholy, hopelessness, and after listening to all the tracks on the album, it is simply impossible to get rid of sad thoughts. But there is also positive side- experiences from songs result in catharsis, that is, spiritual cleansing through suffering. Therefore, if hip-hop fans have accumulated negativity, let them safely listen to this album, just be careful.
Roma Englishman from the group "LSP"
Photo of Roma Englishman below. Roman Sascheko (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 video, “Coin,” the views of which have already exceeded 10 million.
On July 30, terrible headlines thundered in the media: “A member of the LSP group has passed away.” This event shocked the fans. And now ordinary words from the song "Coin" sounded like prophetic, and the image of the death of the last album became not an image, but real event. The cause of Roma's death is still unknown, but the Englishman used large quantities 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 group "LSP" 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 the sake of which I will move on with redoubled strength. A part of me that will never die. And the show, as you know, must go on.”
– it’s hard not to remember such names. But few people would dare to be called a “little stupid pig.” But, nevertheless, such a comrade was found: the abbreviation for the English Lil’ Stupid Pig - LSP - was chosen for the creative pseudonym by the Belarusian rapper Oleg Savchenko.
Childhood and youth
Oleg was born in July 1989 in Vitebsk into a family of journalists. WITH early years the boy became interested in pop music, his parents encouraged his hobby and even hired a piano teacher. With age, Oleg's interests shifted to the rock stage. Even later, when the young man heard the tracks, Savchenko realized that only rap reflected his inner mood.
When he came of age, Oleg presented himself with a gift in the form of an official mixtape called “I Got Everything!”, from the very first lines he stated without embarrassment:
“Hello everyone, here I am – one very cunning pig.”
The album was called lopsided, the performer’s vocal abilities were called weak, but the composition “And I rap” was called the best. At the same time, a new name appeared - LSP. Over time, in an interview, the musician voiced various interpretations of the pseudonym: “a ray is stronger than a bullet,” “ loving heart boy”, “lies, passion and vices”, he named the version “better ask later” as his favorite.
Despite the fact that Savchenko gave all of himself to music, future star rap managed to get higher education at Minsk State Linguistic University. But the diploma as a linguist teacher went on the shelf.
Music
Following the debut album, the collection “Here We Come Again” was released. Two years later, the result of joint work with hip-hoppers Deech and Maxie Flow was released - the mini-album “No Appeals”.
LSP has collaborated to one degree or another with Aes Genius Yung Trappa Oxxxymiron Pharaoh Yanix, Big Russian Boss. Since 2011 it is customary to count the beginning solo career LSP. Then I saw the light solo album“Seeing Colorful Dreams,” songs from which the musician had previously posted on the Internet. In the same year, the video for the single “Hippie” was released.
In 2012, LSP became a duet: Oleg was joined by beatmaker Roma Sashchenko, known as. Roman was responsible for mixing the release of Oleg’s debut solo album; in addition to composing, he essentially took the place of producer in the team. Almost immediately after joining forces, the musicians released the singles “Numbers” and “Why do I need this world” with a video for it.
A year later, the talented duo presented the singles “ More money", "Lilvane", "Cocktail". All songs were included in the charts of the best songs for the month, and the last one was called a diamond in the brostep genre and was awarded third place in the top best for 2013.
In 2014, two albums were released at once - “YOP” and “Hangman”. The rapper Galat participated in the recording of the first one. The album brought together both new and already published songs: “Rope”, “Pikachu”, “City”, “Numbers”. Fans called the composition “Why do I need this world” witty exercise on the field dance music. The songs “Vinaigret” and “Lost and Not Found” were later embodied in videos.
The album "Gallows" includes 8 songs. The name was borrowed from the St. Petersburg punk band Chimera, famous in the nineties. The album was in the top three for 2014 and in the top 20 of the first ten years of the new century. Critics noted that in his songs Oleg, unlike other rappers, successfully acted as a storyteller. On some Belarusian rap sites, the composition “Better than the Internet” was put in first place out of everything that the musician has published to date.
In 2014, LSP was taken under the wing of the executive director of the booking agency Booking Machine, Miron Fedorov, also known as rap artist Oksimiron. Together with him, LSP released the song “I’m Bored of Living,” which in the same year was recognized as the best according to The Flow, as well as a collaboration with Yung Trappa called “MLD.”
Oleg himself considers one of best song“Force Field” from the album “Romantic Colegtion”, released in early 2015. Listeners praised the pop-funk composition “SPVL”.
After 4 months, the release of the next album, “Magic City,” was announced. Oksimiron, Pharaoh, Stepan Karma and Sil-A participated in the recording. Thanks to this work, Roman Sashchenko and Oleg Savchenko acquired an army of fans in the Russian rap space. Videos were shot for the songs “Madness” and “OK”.
Creative biography of LSP made sharp turn in the summer of 2015: the musicians refused to cooperate with Booking Machine, considering that the scope of the contract limited their performances, although it was at this time that LSP began active touring. Moreover, both sides supported the conflict with mutual video messages on pages on social networks, without choosing expressions, they outlined their vision of the situation. At this point, contacts stopped altogether.
In September 2016, LSP presented a joint project with Pharaoh, “Confectionery” - an album of six tracks. In support of the collaboration, the musicians announced a tour called “Cake Factory”. Also in this year LSP released “Spit into Eternity”, “Miracle Parole”, a remix of “Madness”.
In the spring of 2017, the continuation of “Magic City” was released - “Tragic City”, a collection of 13 songs. The first video for the album was the video for the song “Coin”, in which Roman the Englishman appeared for the only time. The video set a record for views - more than 25 million.
In the same year, fans heard a collaboration with Big Russian Boss- “Pimperial”, single “Money is not a problem”.
In the summer of 2017, the collaboration between Sashchenko and Savchenko was interrupted by the death of the Englishman. The artist’s family did not report the cause of death. Oleg made a video for the song “Body”, which he dedicated to his departed friend. The role of Roman was played by a blogger who looked like a rapper. The clip took first place on the Russian MTV chart.
Personal life
Oleg does not talk about his personal life and claims that there are no problems with the opposite sex. It is known that the musician is not married.
LSP now
After Roman’s death, Oleg said that he would continue to develop his solo project, and the performance schedule would be respected. On the page in social network Oleg wrote that the work of a large team remained behind the scenes, and above all, Roman himself would not allow the work to be stopped and the listeners to be left without music.
In September 2017, LSP went on a tour in support of “Tragic City,” during which he gave 38 concerts in five countries. On the tour, Savchenko was joined by a member of the Piggy Bang band, Den Hawk, who had previously starred in the “Vinaigret” video, and Petr Klyuev, a Belarusian musician who participated in the recording of the acoustic version of “Coins.”
At the end of 2017, Oleg released another song - “ A little prince" - combined with an unusual hand-drawn video, together with the Moscow punk band "Pasosh" - a new version of their song "Party". A Hell And Back Tour is planned for 2018.

The Belarusian duet “LSP” should have achieved popularity a long time ago, but somehow it didn’t work out. Their goofy EDM rap sounded carefree at first glance, but upon closer examination it sounded gloomy and gloomy, which was what captivated us. The new album “LSP” was released this summer, and turned out to be boastful, funny, melodic and yet dark southern trap in the latest American fashion - and helped fill the halls to capacity. The change of course turned out to be partly a conscious decision, partly a matter of chance, like many things in their wild biography.
“Minsk, are you ready?” - asks from the stage a man in a white T-shirt, whose neck is hung with massive silver chains. The tightly packed hall roars, throwing up its hands. The man's name is Oleg Savchenko, he is a songwriter and the face of LSP. He is definitely ready for what is happening: two days before the concert, Oleg tells me that all 1,200 tickets have been sold, there are no more at the box office. A week earlier, their performances in St. Petersburg and Moscow were approximately equally noisy, frantic and crowded.
“We ... [broke] this summer,” says Oleg, who for a long time lived in the status of hope of Russian-language music and risked never living up to it. The audience, reacting to the very first notes of each subsequent song and flying up to the ceiling on the drops, confirms his words. The bottle of alcohol with which Oleg and his partner Roma English came on stage manages to be empty long before the end of the performance. “You are young and don’t understand that now we are making history here,” Oleg suddenly says. And then he corrects himself: “More precisely, you are the one doing it. We're just drinking."
But it was not always so.
Video filmed at a performance in Minsk, about which we're talking about in this text
“What are we, clowns?” - the group members resolutely reject the proposal to shoot for a magazine near the circus building, one of the architectural highlights of Minsk. A piercing wind is blowing, they are cold, and their clothes for filming were left in the apartment where they invite us to go. But within half a minute Oleg and Roma are posing against the backdrop of visual propaganda calling for the election of the President of Belarus. And half a minute later, with unexpected enthusiasm, they run to the circus tantamaresque with images of the trainer and animals. "I am a lion?" - Oleg clarifies, sticking his head into the hole. Then he bares his teeth, pretending to growl.
The taxi takes us out of the center along an intricate route. On the way, Roma and Oleg tell how they recently sent two friends instead of themselves to an interview with a Belarusian website. When they ask the driver to drop them off on the way home and then pick them up somewhere else, I expect them to cheerful people some similar trick. But they come back: Roman with a full bag of corn (“corn is the best thing that can happen to you in October!”), Oleg with a fresh copy of the game NBA 2K16. He also bought his fourth PlayStation just the other day.
The windows in the apartment are tightly draped, making it quite difficult to understand what time of day it is. It was given to Roman for use by his mistress who had left somewhere. Roman is from Mogilev, but has not lived there for three years. And in general, he doesn’t have a problem with permanent housing: he says that he has now rented an apartment in St. Petersburg together with Porchi, a Portuguese musician from Oksimiron’s team, but has not appeared there for three months.
Oleg laughingly quotes the African-American formula for success, which gave the title to one of the episodes of the documentary series about the rap group from Atlanta - Migos: “From the Bando to the Mansion.” By bando (abandoned house used to sell drugs - Oleg gives the dictionary definition) we mean a Khrushchev building in his native Vitebsk, by a mansion - this three-room apartment in a Minsk high-rise building. In one of the rooms, a girl is sitting, closed. Two more will arrive before evening.
We are accompanied by Oleg's friend, rapper Young Bumer. Everyone knows that a BMW is called a “boomer,” but for some reason Young Bumer immediately deciphers this as “unemployed young Valera.” All three of them are fiercely “breaking” someone in Diablo, looking intently at the screen. “Helmet, 20 to intelligence - come here. Dagger - ... [not needed] - Oleg comments on what is happening on the screen. - Did you ask about preparations for the concert? She's in full swing! Sometimes they look up from the gamepads to roll (they drink vodka poured into coffee cups with tea). They have a drawn-out, melodic speech, they call Belarus Belka, and each other - “bro” or “mister”. It's Friday, but no one has to go to work.
“I haven’t worked a day!” - says Oleg, who graduated from Minsk State Linguistic University with a degree in linguist-teacher. “There were moments when I understood: you, ... [after all], are a beggar,” explains Roma and adds: “Well, as they were, they ended just a couple of months ago.”
A couple of months ago, the LSP group did not renew the contract with Booking Machine, which handled their concerts - a company directly related to Oksimiron and the Versus battle. A year of cooperation did not make either one or the other significantly richer: LSP had few concerts. And a week later, the video “Madness”, joint with Oksimiron, was released, one of the hits of this summer and, perhaps, main reason what is happening today at LSP concerts. The seismic outrage generated by this track was not captured by iTunes or the adult conservative media. Although clips that collect a million views on YouTube in a week would be worth noticing.

***“I always thought that I would be a rapper,” says Oleg, rocking in his chair. - Our kents smoked, went to work and said that in next year They will definitely get together and write. And we lay on the couch, sucked... [laid back], thought about how bad our lives were, and recorded a couple of albums about it. I don’t need anything extra for my life. Superfood, any such topic is on the side... My family is a lousy intelligentsia, nothing supernatural. There have never been any rich Kents, mostly marginals and freaks. There was money to buy halva and sausages at the store - and that’s it. Well, when you mess with chicks, you immediately say that there is no money. "I cool dude“You see, the goods are with me.”
He also records his songs on modest equipment - if the word “equipment” even applies to a $50 microphone.
“It hangs on my chandelier above the sofa, right where I sleep, eat, drink and fuck,” Oleg explains how it works creative process. - I fold the sofa, get up and record on the cheapest hundred-dollar sound card. I then send these burps to Roma, who makes candy out of them.”
Initially, “LSP” (stands for little stupid pig) was Oleg. Out of habit they continue to call him that. Although the LSP group today is a union of two equally important people.
Oleg's partner, Roma the Englishman, also known as Roma the Dead, studied art photography, but quit when he realized that sitting at an easel was boring for him. For a year and a half, Roma worked as an emergency medical technician (“on a corpse truck,” he clarifies), and one day he himself woke up on a cardiologist’s table, having taken too much “medicine.” Roma made his own music, and did not immediately join LSP, but soon became an indispensable person - a music author, sound engineer, backing MC and a jack of all trades. “I can inject,” he sums up his resume and laughs darkly.
LSP & Oksimiron - “Madness”
The Englishman says that at the time he met Oleg, he was standing on the corner in Minsk and selling steroids to musclemen. It is illegal. But if you start a group on VKontakte and exercise the necessary caution, then you have a couple of months. After a positive publication about the debut mini-album “Seeing Colorful Dreams” appeared in Afisha, Roman decided that it was time to stop using steroids. And he went back to Mogilev “to the apartment of Oleg’s supposed manager,” where he planned to work on new material. But this was hampered by round-the-clock parties. “I recorded the track “Cocktail” in such an environment for the 150th time,” Roman recalls. “Then we shot a video, and the first concerts began.”
The next impetus in the career of “LSP” is associated with Max Korzh, also a native of the Belarusian rap environment. His debut album ended up on the label of the Casta group Respect Production, where Max was seen as a future stadium artist. Korzh quickly began to fill large halls with fans. In Minsk it was the Sports Palace, which could accommodate about five thousand spectators. To open the concert, he invited several Belarusian rappers, next to whom his journey began, including “LSP”.
“I’ve known Korzh since my first year at the institute,” explains Oleg. - We had a rapper gang. He invited us to perform at the Sports Palace. And Roma and I had just written “More Money” three days before. We sang it on Korzh, and after the concert in the group “VK” every tenth comment was “what kind of guy sang about money at the opening act?”, and our group “VK” doubled the number of subscribers. Then we released the “Cocktail” video, it was picked up by A-One, and Korzh asked me: “What kind of guy is the muzlo writing to you?” This is how the Englishman ended up on the team that produced and recorded Korzh’s most successful album, “Living in a Bliss.”
“Everything was like in the West,” Oleg recalls. - We rented a studio in Minsk for a month, gathered three different sound artists: Roma and two others. They did this for a month - and the result was “Live in High”, Korzh’s highest quality and most complete album. At that time, we performed once every 3-4 months, for 300 bucks. And Roma began to constantly travel with Max, gaining experience. And then the day happened when we had some kind of crap rap festival for 400 bucks, and Korzh had a normal concert. But Roman said: I don’t abandon my people, sorry, I’ll be with Oleg.” A year later, the Englishman went on tour with Oksimiron.
The sound of early LSP includes dubstep, popular in those years, and the influence of American rapper Kid Cudi
“Our first concert in Moscow was organized by Kolya Redkin, for which we thank him,” says Oleg. Nikolai Redkin, editor of The Flow website and big fan“LSP” clarifies that he is responsible for the ticketed concert, and at the first performance he was just a spectator. “It was in a bar at Red October, just me and four of my friends stood in front of the stage,” says Nikolai.
First solo concert“LSP”, organized by Redkin, took place at the “16 tons” club. It was summer, Thursday, 140 spectators came with tickets, the artists earned their thousand dollars, the organizer lost a little money. Then something like an urban legend begins. A representative of the “Casta” label Respect Production was present at the concert. He was noticed by one of the people close to Oksimiron and Booking Machine, and told his friends that, apparently, “LSP” is now also on “Respect”. A week later, Oksimiron himself asked Oleg if he had a contract. And having learned that he was free from obligations, he offered to work with his booking agency.
An undoubted advantage of this collaboration was the appearance of two songs together with Oksimiron - “I’m bored of living” and “Madness”. A new audience learned about the LSP project, which had existed for almost five years. The Englishman, in the role of sound engineer, went on tour with Oksimiron. Oleg sat at home without money and composed new album"Magic City".
Previous works It’s easy to call “LSP” a dark version of Max Korzh. This is also cheerful EDM with rap and vocals in the spirit of early Kid Cudi, but not about optimism and a smile with 32 teeth, but about “everything is fine with me, thank God, but I don’t care.” With “Magic City,” LSP unexpectedly leaps into new territory. It doesn't take much to notice how much the sound of LSP's latest album is influenced by Atlanta's wildly prolific regional rap scene. But this shouldn’t be surprising.
“I’ve been listening to the southern rap scene since the eighth grade, starting in Texas, when the American south was just rising, with Bun B and Pimp C,” Oleg recalls. - Then I got bored. I decided to make indie stuff so that Afisha would write, and it worked out. Then Roma brought the sound to full shine on the releases “Yop” and “Hangman”. Moreover, it was already my own sound: I read, sing and recite melodies, mixing drum and bass, dubstep and hip-hop. But then Roma began to go on tours, and I began to sit at home and delve into my own shit. And back into the whole rap movement. And now I’m rummaging through all these dark topics again.” That's why his new tracks feature pumping trap bass, chirping 808 percussion and auto-tune-hidden vocals - just like in Atlanta.
Over the past year or two, Oleg has managed to build bridges with other figures in the local trap scene. Among them Yung Trappa- a very young rap eccentric from St. Petersburg, who this summer was arrested under Article 228. “A guy at 16 wrote this - super cool and super stupid at the same time! - Oleg admires. - I came to him in St. Petersburg at full random, without money. I hung out with him for four days, went to the studio, wrote, had a blast. I thought about telling him something that they didn’t tell me when it was necessary. He politely accepted all this, but, as it turned out, this stuff was falling out of his back door in bags. And he always wanted to stir up some kind of hustle. They say he's destined for seven."
Another typical representative of Russian trap with whom Oleg began recording is Magnitogorsk rapper Sil-A, who released mixtapes under the names “Spice Boy” and “Spiceology”, and at the same time launched a spice trading network in Moscow. By the time drug control caught up with her, Sil-A managed to leave the country. “When I was composing the track “Bankroll,” I thought, with whom should I make a track about money? - says Oleg. “Of course, with the Great Power.” When asked if anything is known about Sil-A's whereabouts now, he immediately replies: "I'm not a witness."
The hit “Madness” is also the fruit of a collaboration, but it’s already completely incredible. Breezey Muzik wrote the instrumental for his mixtape - and asked Oleg to add a chorus.
“And I had such a period in my life,” Oleg recalls, “chicks, hanging out, drinking, recording songs from my side project Piggy Bang. And I got some booze, came home, got drunk and did this chorus. Breezey answers me: “Why did you take away the entire album for me with one hook?” Oleg offered to write a verse, but Sil-A had already written the verses for the song. The idea arose to make a remix - this is what rappers call songs that have become hits, to which new verses are added. The original went unnoticed, the remix took off.
“I sent the track to Romka and Miron,” Oleg continues. - Romka said: “I’ve been listening for the second day in a row.” Myron wrote: “You know, I think I’ll jump here, I like it.” After this song people began to recognize me.” But what’s more important, apparently, is that now every weekend at “LSP” is scheduled for tours.
“No one expected that we would come and do everyone on this site, but we came and did all the rap,” Oleg sums up. “If anyone is willing to challenge that, I’d be interested in seeing it.”
“I wouldn’t give a damn,” Roman says gloomily.
The death of Roma the Englishman was reported in the press on July 30. It is known that the musician died in his apartment. But the cause of death is also unknown. Information on this topic was not disclosed. Many users came to the conclusion that Roma could have died from an overdose or suicide, but no one knows the truth.
A video for the track “Body” has already appeared on the social network, in which Roma the Englishman is played by an actor very similar to him. Oleg Savchenko said that the video is dedicated to Roma. This track was included in the third LSP album, but the record appeared in April of this year.
The news of the death of Roma the Englishman caused a wave of emotions on the Internet. Considering that the musician died at such a young age, everyone is very interested in the cause of death.
It was reported that Roma died of cardiac arrest. But the exact reason was not given. Many claim that the musician died due to an overdose or suicide. Oleg LSP only hinted that “everyone dies from what he strives for”
The lead singer of the rap group “LSP” Oleg Savchenko spoke on the topic of the death of his friend and bandmate Roma Englishman.
“Roma died from what he himself strove for,” Savchenko wrote on one of the social networks.
Fans immediately began to express their condolences to Roma’s loved ones. I would like to note that immediately no one could believe that Roman really died. Some fans assured that this was all just a bad joke. But after a few hours, everyone realized that death was real and not some kind of prank.
Nobody knows for sure why Roma the Englishman passed away. Some say that he played out because he was using drugs. Roma’s family knew that the guy was a drug addict, but no one could have predicted that all this would lead to death. Others say that Roma died on his own, and that the reason for this was a stroke.
Roma Englishman's inner circle publishes posts on their social media accounts. networks where they write that drugs are evil and everything connected with it.
Such a tweet was also noticed by Poperechny, from which it follows that Roman Sashchenko had an overdose. Roma really had problems with drugs and he did not hide it.
A year ago, in an interview, Roma said:
“My personal doctor said that I only have a few months to live because I drink alcohol around the clock and my body is already exhausted.”
Roma the Englishman died, from what: biography of Roma the Englishman
The novel was born in 1988, namely on April 27. Information about how Roma behaved as a child, what he was interested in adolescence, you can’t find it in the vastness of the Runet. It is only known that he took up producing activities at a fairly young age.
Roman Sashcheko's career really started in 2012, when fate brought him together with Oleg Savchenko. Before that, he managed to make a name for himself in musical circles by promoting little-known bands.
The guy he met was already performing on stage. At that time, the LSP group already existed, but consisted of only one member. Oleg himself performed compositions that became hits, writes Rosregistr. With the arrival of Roman, things went even better, songs were born one after another.
The first of them is “Numbers”. The composition was first broadcast on May 24, 2012. This day can be considered the group’s birthday.
The guys worked tirelessly, bringing pleasure to their fans. A year later, a number of videos appeared, the most recognizable of which was, perhaps, “Cocktail.” From that moment on, the fame of the creative duo decisively crossed the borders of Belarus. They started talking about talented performers in Russia. Of course, because the tracks of Roma and Oleg began to confidently occupy top places in the charts.
Not only Belarusian and Russian media, but also Ukrainian. What can I say, articles about them were published on the pages of publications in almost all post-Soviet countries.
The fame of the guys also increased on the Internet, whose users began to closely follow the group’s performances. Information about it could be gleaned, in particular, from official page on the social network VKontakte. By the way, over 360 thousand people have subscribed to it.
Russian listeners liked the albums “Hangman” and “YOP”, released in 2014, as well as Magic City, which appeared a year later. The same can be said about Tragic City, released in 2017. Unfortunately, he turned out to be last album groups.
