Oleg lsp biography. LSP: "What normal guy would write songs for boys?"

Childhood and youth

Oleg calls Andrey Gubin his first idol. IN high school the guy became interested in rap and the work of Timati, whom he saw at the Star Factory, Decl, the Bad Balance group and American hip-hop musicians.

After graduating from school, Savchenko entered the Minsk State Linguistic University and received a diploma in the specialty “linguist teacher”. His student years were marked by financial problems; he lived on $100-150 a month, but did not give up his passion for music.

LSP means "little stupid pig"

LSP - Hippie

In the middle next year Savchenko began close collaboration with producer Roman Sashcheko, known under the pseudonym Roma the Englishman, who had previously performed in the punk band GreenChe, and at that time was engaged in studio activities. The musicians founded the duo LSP: Oleg composed the lyrics, and Roman made the “existential” beat. Their first result collaboration became the track “Numbers”.

In the period from 2014 to 2017, the duo released four albums - “YOP”, “Hangman” (a reference to the song of the St. Petersburg punk band “Chimera”), “Magic City”, “TragicCity”, as well as the mini-albums “Romantic Collection” and “Confectionery” (with cloud rapper Pharaoh). LSP albums included several remixes and cover versions of songs by famous domestic and foreign rappers. And not only rappers - for example, in 2013, a cover of the song “Fool and Lightning” by the group “The King and the Jester” was released.

The guys collaborated with such musicians as Yung Trappa, Oksimiron, Sil-A, Sasha Skul, Big Russian Boss, Davip, etc. Several compositions became leaders in the top Russian-language songs according to various influential channels. The musician’s creative work also includes participation in the hip-hop battle “Versus Battle” against battle regular Meowizzy. Oksimiron advised me to go to the LSP battle; Oleg later noted that he himself did not understand why he was wasting his time there.

In 2014, Oleg began collaborating with the Booking machine agency, whose director was Oksimiron, and later recorded the song “I’m Bored of Living” with him. In the summer of 2015, cooperation stopped due to dissatisfaction with the agency’s work - after signing the contract, there were fewer concerts, Savchenko said in an interview.

In the spring of 2016, the track Imperial was released, in one of the verses of which LSP shared his vision of the situation with the Book machine. Hearing him, Oksimiron added his own vision of the situation to the song, and came to the agency’s defense.

LSP about the track “Imperial”

In July 2017, Roman died - the circumstances of his death were not disclosed, but there were speculations in the media that the musician died due to drug problems. After the musician’s death, the LSP for the “Tragic City Tour” concert tour included Den Hawk and Pyotr Klyuev, with whom Oleg had worked several times before.

In October, Savchenko published a video for the song “Body,” dedicated to a deceased friend, and also became a musical guest in the show “ Evening Urgant" Soon the musician started selling products with LSP symbols - T-shirts, sweatshirts, caps with the musician’s logo, etc. appeared on sale. In December 2017, the artist released the song “ A little prince", the melody for which was written during the Englishman’s lifetime.

At the end of 2012, Oleg participated in A-One Hiphop Battle. As he later explained his weak creative activity during that period of time, throughout 2012 he “reflected, set priorities, engaged in self-education and self-improvement, was sick, and wasted material.”

The music on both albums was largely produced by Roma the Englishman. It is noteworthy that in both albums each song had its own cover. The Flow included “Hangman” both in the top three Russian-language albums of 2014 and in the list of the 20 best recordings of the 2010s.

“Generally speaking, it was electronic pop. Another thing is that instead of the required meaningless plots, Oleg told rather hopeless stories, inside of which there was despair, hopelessness and emptiness.
The Flow about "Hangman" »
On August 4, LSP releases a remix of the song “Samurai” by Basta and Guf. On August 20, 2014, it became known that LSP began cooperation with the booking agency Booking Machine. On August 20, a video clip for the song “Vinaigret” was released. In September, he took part in the St. Petersburg hip-hop project Versus Battle - LSP's opponent was battle regular Meowizzy. The issue itself was released on October 19, 2014, and Oleg won the verbal duel. Oxxxymiron advised Oleg to go to the event, and LSP himself would later describe his attitude towards the battle as follows: “I still can’t imagine why I spent time on this.”

On October 31, 2014, the mixtape Yung Trappa Jesse Pinkman 2 was released. Of the thirteen songs on the record, LSP participated in three - all of them were originally prepared for the joint album of the performers. Later, in February 2015, Oleg noted that Trappa “went off the radar,” and already in November he tells the story of their personal acquaintance: under what circumstances they met, how it happened creative process. LSP also says that he “thought to tell him something that they didn’t tell me,” but, as it turned out later, the advice Trappa accepted was not applied. On October 31, 2016, it became known that the rapper, convicted under Article 228 and having served in a pre-trial detention center for more than a year, was given almost six years in prison.

On November 27, 2014, LSP released a song together with Oksimiron, which was called “I’m Bored of Living.” At the end of the year The Flow included the songs “MLD” and “I’m Bored to Live” in the list of the 50 best Russian-language recordings for the entire 2014.

2015: Romantic Colegtion and Magic City, departure from Booking Machine[edit | edit wiki text]
On February 3, 2015, LSP released a mini-album, Romantic Colegtion. Two songs - “SPVL” (“I’ll Believe in Love Again”) and “Force Field” (an excerpt of which was demonstrated back in January) - are new and produced by Roma the Englishman. The third, “Exactly like this ’15”, as the title suggests, is an updated version of the track under musical accompaniment Deech “Exactly like this” from the 2009 mini-album “Without Appeals”, which was recorded together with the above-mentioned Deech, as well as with Maxie Flow.

The editors of The Flow included “Force Field” in the list of the best Russian-language songs for 2015. Oleg himself singled out this song in an interview for 34mag.net, where he called the text of “Force Field” one of his best creations.

On July 19, 2015, the album Magic City was released. Unlike the two previous studio albums, in Magic City Roma the Englishman limited himself to writing musical accompaniment for only five songs, while the rest was handled, in his own words, by “the fathers of trap music in Russia.” However, responsibility for all production and post-production of the album remains on the shoulders of the Englishman. Guest verses by Pharaoh, Oxxxymiron and Sil-A.

In anticipation of the album's release, on July 16, 2015, a video was released for a remix of the song "Madness", the original of which appears on the Breezey Montana mini-album "Gift or Curse", in which LSP performed only the chorus. “Bullet”, with Pharaoh, will be included in The Flow’s list of the best songs of 2015 at the end of the year, and the remix of “Madness”, with Oksimiron, will top its top ten. On September 10, 2015, a video clip for another song from Magic City, “OK,” was released.

In the summer of 2015, he stopped collaborating with Booking Machine, explaining that after signing, the small number of concerts that had previously came to naught. On April 1, 2016, Porchy’s song “Imperial” was released, which was originally planned to be included in the tracklist of his mixtape King Midas and in which Oleg, according to Oksimiron, talks about what he thinks about his former booking agency. In "Imperial" it happens as described song The Flow: “a whole drama, a clash between two heroes of a generation” - LSP and Oxxxymiron. Oleg himself, contrary to his colleague’s accusations, stated that he put a completely different meaning into his text and in the online broadcast of the Periscope application, in his characteristic manner, performed “auto-decoding”, from a personal position explaining the meaning of virtually every line of his, concluding that his verse is ordinary represent. “I’m sure if the track had just been released by Porchy and I, it wouldn’t have been given to anyone, and diss songs wouldn’t have been found there either. Myron himself memeified him with his appearance on the track, turning almost any of my absolutely abstract lines into an attack on him and the Booking Machine,” LSP would later say.

2016-2017: “Confectionery”, Tragic City, departure of the Englishman[edit | edit wiki text]
On March 2, 2016, LSP released the song “Spit into Eternity.” On May 9, 2016, the composition “Miracle-Parole”, jointly with Sasha Skul, was released.

On May 17, LSP uploads a remix of the remix of the song “Madness,” to which he added the second verse. As he explained, he saw a lack of integrity and logic in the song, where the second verse was performed by Oksimiron, and cited as an example that such a trick had been pulled off before - with the song “MLD”, in the original version of which Yung Trappa sang the second verse.

In July - on the 8th and 10th - LSP uploads 2 leftovers from the time of “YOP” and “Hangman”: songs called “Bonus Babe” and “In Half”. On September 8, the song “Cake” is released, performed by LSP and the Moscow performer Pharaoh.

On September 30, 2016, the mini-album “Confectionery”, a joint project of LSP and Pharaoh, was published on SoundCloud. The release took place in support of their joint Cake Factory tour. On October 3, it arrived on platforms such as the iTunes Store and Apple Music.

On February 11, 2017, the first single, called “Phoenix,” was released from LSP’s next solo album, the release of which was originally scheduled for the fall of 2017. Previously, “the first single from the upcoming album” was called “Spit into Eternity.” “Phoenix” was recorded, according to Oleg, one and a half to two years before its release.

On April 22, 2017, the second track from the future album, “Money Problem,” was released, which had previously been performed at the group’s concerts.

On April 28, 2017, the third numbered studio album “LSP” Tragic City was released. There is only one invited performer - Lyokha Nikonov (“PTVP”). There are 13 songs, including the previously released singles “Spit in Eternity” and “Money Problem”. Tragic City is a direct continuation of Magic City and, in addition, introduces images, heroes, quotes from LSP’s previous works into the story.

“When I finished “Magic City”, it seemed that nothing better could be written and that this was our magnum opus. But a little time passed, and I began to gradually imagine the vector of further movement.<…>Recently I also thought that after “Tragic City” there was nothing much to say, but literally last days working on it, I already began to imagine what we will do next.
LSP o further creativity »
On May 14, 2017, Oleg Savchenko was unable to attend his colleague’s concert Thomas Mraz, who joined the ranks of Booking Machine artists in February of this year, in Minsk: the organizer of the performances, Ilya Mamai, according to LSP, blacklisted him for this event.

On May 20, the “Coin” video was released, which became the most viewed LSP video in the entire history of the project.

On July 28, the Big Russian Boss song “Pimperial” is released with the musical accompaniment of Roma Englishman and Davip, in which LSP took part. The composition parodies last year’s “Imperial” - however, only at the level of the title and the presence of the meme phrase “ty pozhaleesh ob etom though”. Previously, the artists had already recorded the track “Celebration” together, which was included on the second solo album of the Boss I.G.O.R.. BRB and LSP also collaborated within the framework of Big Russian Boss Show, where Oleg and Roman became guests.

2017 - present: Tragic City Tour[edit | edit wiki text]
On August 5, Oleg spoke about his future plans: the tour in support of Tragic City will not be canceled, and the LSP project will continue to exist.

After the start of the Tragic City Tour, it became known that the new LSP concert lineup included Den Hawk and Pyotr Klyuev. Denis is known for his collaboration with Oleg himself on early stage creativity, and work within the framework of Piggy Bang, together with Petr Klyuev LSP previously performed “Coin” in an acoustic arrangement as part of 34 Music Sessions.

On October 2, 2017, a video clip for the song “Body” was published. The touching video series is dedicated to Roma the Englishman, who recently passed away, and is a kind of farewell to him. The role of Roman Sashcheko in the video was played by St. Petersburg video blogger Dmitry Larin. On the same day, Oleg became a musical guest in the Evening Urgant program, where he performed the song “Labyrinth of Reflections.” On October 4, Larin posted a behind-the-scenes vlog from the filming on his channel music video, in which, among other things, he noted that the video makers were encouraged to take him for the role of the Englishman by the comments under the video clip “Coin”, which played up the external similarity of Dmitry and Roman. As the video blogger stated, Oleg was filmed separately due to the discrepancy between their schedules. The backstage from the Dope Films team that shot the video was published on October 7.

Abbreviation (decoding)[edit | edit wiki text]
As Oleg stated in an interview with the program “On Blaze’s Sofa” in response to one of the most frequently asked questions - “Where did the name come from and what does it mean?” - the musician has plenty of options for how to answer, and the question itself is already perceived as white noise. So, in different interviews the answer to this question looked different:

In an interview with NUC magazine (April 10, 2014): “Once about 10 years in a row I looked out the window, this was when I was still at school. In general, I was looking out the window at the sun and began to feel like a holy Baptist in myself when the sun spoke to me. Although I didn’t understand any of what it said, and I never became a Baptist, the sunny symbolism of these wonderful words settled in my heart - A ray is stronger than a bullet. I don’t know where they would come from, but I liked the abbreviation.”
In an interview with The Flow website (June 17, 2014): “Usually when they interview us, they immediately ask about the name. Recently they asked - is it true that this means “A ray is stronger than a bullet”? Well, we say, no, it means “Lick yourself... [vagina].”
In an interview with “Blaze on the couch” (July 29, 2014): “[The option is closer to me now] “ Loving heart boy." In Belarus we have a group called “Broken Sir Boy”. Well, sort of, it’s clear. But we recently realized that LSP is probably “A Boy’s Loving Heart.” Not “Broken” yet.”
At Versus Battle against Meowizzy (October 19, 2014), Oleg played with the LSP decoding like this: “You are LSP, but not Oleg - you just lick your penis.”
In an interview on the Big Russian Boss Show (April 25, 2017): “My favorite transcript is “Better ask later.”
The decoding of LSP is found in several of the artist’s tracks: “LSP - lies, passions and vices” (“Magic City”, Magic City), “LSP, better sing a song about love, the most truthful” (“Money problem”, Tragic City).
Artistry[edit | edit wiki text]
Autotune is used in LSP songs. At the time of the release of “Seeing Colorful Dreams,” indie sound predominated in his music, and for the “YOP” and “Hangman” released in 2014, as Oleg himself notes, his partner Roma had already created “his own sound”: “<…>I read, sing and recite, mixing drum and bass, dubstep and hip-hop.” In the work of 2015, trap sounds prevailed.

Andrey Nedashkovsky from The Flow, in a review of the album “Hangman,” noted the “monotoneity” of LSP’s vocals, and also described his music as follows: “<…>if you want flow, wordplay and other rap tricks, you won't find it here<…>. [But] Oleg dilutes the serious verses with funny turns of phrase, memorable phrases and choruses. And he simply knows how to entertain the listener.” On the website Disgustingmen.com, Nikolai Chumakov described the leitmotif of LSP as follows: “Behind the melodic beat and sweet-voiced vocals lies the main advantage of Oleg’s work - his loud desire to declare his lost life.”

LSP is a well-known rap artist throughout Belarus and Russia. The singer was born on July 10 (according to the horoscope, Cancer) 1988 in Vitebsk (Belarusian SSR). Real name: Oleg Savchenko. Oleg himself was born into an ordinary family. His parents were journalists and supported their son in everything.

From the early childhood Oleg notices a strong craving for music, it is for this reason that his father hires a teacher who begins to personally teach Oleg how to play the piano. But, despite all the interest, the boy decides to quit this activity and start writing poetry on his own.

The first person who discovered rap for him was none other than Timati, who at that time participated in the TV show “Star Factory”. Since then, the boy decides to delve deeper into hip-hop culture. He begins to listen to both foreign and Russian rap artists.

Around 2007, when Oleg turns 18, he begins to release his own tracks. In addition, he becomes a frequent guest at various rap battles, where the guy has repeatedly shown his unique talent.

Later, Roman the Englishman, who was also a producer, met him. Having gotten to know each other well, the guys decide to found the group “LSP”, which over time gained enormous popularity not only in Russia, but also in the native Belarus of both performers.

Incredible success

After some time, they release such hits as: “Numbers”, “Cocktail”, “Why do I need this world”, “City” and “Pikachu”. But 2012 was completely unproductive, since at that time Oleg wanted to reflect on his life and set priorities for the future.
But it was in 2013 that many different hits were released, as well as cover songs, which undoubtedly appealed to many fans of the group. This is also followed by such singles as: “Soft lips and tattoos”, “YOP”, “Hangman”, “I'm bored of living”, “SPVL”, “Force Field”, etc.

Unexpected death

No matter how sad it may sound, on July 30, 2017, the lead singer of the LSP group, Roma Englishman, died. The cause of death still remains unknown. Many assume that Roman died of cardiac arrest, since the singer had problems with the cardiovascular system. Others claim that the young guy died from a drug overdose. Both versions cannot be denied, since Roman really abused drugs and alcohol.

Of course, such news shocked not only Oleg, but also all fans. Loyal fans still cannot believe this incident and continue to believe that this is just a joke between the guys.

A little about personal

If we talk about the singer’s personal life, then we can count many fleeting romances. The rap artist has practically no permanent relationships. The guy is always partying and working. Most likely, Oleg has not yet met a girl who could truly interest the guy. But we will hope that he will still find his happiness.

Oleg LSP’s debut mini-album “Seeing Colorful Dreams” was released on September 16, 2011. In the subsequent period, Oleg met and joined forces in working on new music with Roma the Englishman, the first fruit of collaboration with whom was the single “Numbers”. The release of “YOP,” an album that included songs released between 2012 and 2014, took place on January 8, 2014. Soon after this, on May 24, 2014, Oleg and Roman unexpectedly released another album - the numbered “Hangman”. In August of the same year, it became known that LSP and the Englishman began cooperation with the booking agency Booking Machine. On February 3, 2015, the mini-album “LSP” Romantic Colegtion was released, the name of which plays on the names of its creators. In the summer of 2015, the duo left Booking Machine, which was decided not to be advertised immediately. This same summer, on July 19, 2015, Oleg released his solo album - the numbered Magic City.

On April 1, 2016, as The Flow writes, “a whole drama begins, a clash between two heroes of a generation,” when representatives of Booking Machine publish the song “Imperial” with the participation of LSP and Oxxxymiron, in which the latter performs a diss on his former colleague. Over the next week, Oleg and Miron exchange video messages, presenting their vision of the current situation, after which they cut off any contact with each other. On September 30, 2016, LSP will release a joint mini-album “Confectionery” with Pharaoh. On April 28, 2017, Oleg and Roman released the numbered album Tragic City, which is a continuation of the year before last Magic City.

On July 30, 2017, Roma Englishman, a participant in the LSP project, died. On August 5, Oleg announced that the project would not be closed, but the tour in support of Tragic City would still take place. After the tour started, it became known that Oleg’s new concert group included Den Hawk (Piggy Bang bandmate) and Pyotr Klyuev.

Life and career

The first performer whose songs Oleg consciously liked was Andrey Gubin. At the age of 14 he sees the television program “Star Factory 4”, in which Timati performs. Surprised by the presence of rap on Channel One, he decides to delve deeper into hip-hop culture, becoming a listener of Decl and Bad Balance. Later he gets acquainted with Russian rock and the work of such musicians of the corresponding genre as Zemfira, Nike Borzov, “MultFilms”, “Mumiy Troll” and “The King and the Jester”. However, after some time he returns to rap, starting to listen to American hip-hop, from the experience of listening to which he concludes that “the sound is as important as the meaning, and sometimes even, perhaps, more important.”

He graduated from the Faculty of Philology of Moscow State Linguistic University with a degree in linguist-teacher: as Oleg himself recalls, at that time there were financial difficulties. However, his parents always supported both him and his musical endeavors.

2007-2009: Early recordings and participation in hip-hop battles

In 2007-2008, LSP participated in the 6th team battle of hip-hop.ru as part of the ShRec Pro team that reached the 2nd round, where Max Korzh was also listed, as well as in the 8th official battle of hip-hop .ru, where Oleg reached the 4th round.

In the same year, he began writing and recording songs that would later be included in the mini-album “Seeing Colorful Dreams.” The first were such compositions as “Magician” and “Streets”. Having heard Kanye West's album 808s & Heartbreak, Oleg, impressed by this work, records the first version of the song “Lambada”; the album version of the song was re-recorded and shortened in length.

On July 14, 2009, a joint mini-album “Without Appeals” was released with Deech and Maxie Flow, which included three songs, three backing tracks of the same songs and a bonus track.

2011-2013: “Seeing colorful dreams”, beginning of work with Sascheko

On May 24, 2012, the single “Numbers” was released, from which LSP began a close and fruitful collaboration with producer Roman Nikolaevich Sascheko, better known under the stage name Roma the Englishman.

On June 25, 2012, the song “Drip-Drip” was released from TO “Shovel”, of which LSP is a member. The video clip for the LSP song “Why do I need this world,” like the single itself, was released on September 26, 2012.

At the end of 2012, Oleg participated in A-One Hiphop Battle. As he later explained his weak creative activity during that period of time, throughout 2012 he “reflected, set priorities, engaged in self-education and self-improvement, was sick, and wasted material.”

On March 6, 2013, LSP released the song “More Money.” On April 17, 2013, the single “Lilvane” was released, dedicated to Russian hip-hop culture. On May 13, 2013, both the video clip for the song “Cocktail” and the song itself were released. All three songs were included in the summary charts of the best Russian-language songs for the month on rap.ru, and “Cocktail” subsequently took a place in the ranking of the best songs of the year. “Cocktail” also made it into the top 20 Russian-language songs according to the A-One channel.

On July 28, 2013, Oleg released a cover version of the song “Fool and Lightning” by the Russian group “Korol i Shut”. Earlier, on March 7, 2013, a video was released in which LSP also performed a cover of the song “Truth Gonna Hurt You” by American rapper Future. On October 25, 2013, the song “City” was released, on December 20, 2013, “Lost and Not Found” was released, and on December 25, “Pikachu”.

2014: “YOP” and “Hangman”, signing on Booking Machine

On January 8, 2014, the compilation album “YOP” was released, which included 10 songs and 2 bonus tracks - a tribute to the leader of the “King and the Jester” group Mikhail Gorshenev and a cover version of the song “Truth Gonna Hurt You” by Future. If we do not take into account “Live Loop” published a day earlier, then there was only one completely new song on the release - and this is the opening album “Rope”. The material for “YOP” was collected over 2.5 years.

On February 4, LSP releases the song “Overboard.” March 2 - a remix of “Everything at once” by Yanix, and March 14 - “Better than the Internet”. On April 13, the joint composition of LSP and Yung Trappa “MLD” (“Baby Loves the Dealer”) will be released. On May 23, two songs are released at once: “Meteor Shower”, as well as a remix of “MLD” - now this is LSP’s solo song.

On May 24, 2014, the album “Gallows” was released (the name was taken from the song of the group “Chimera”), which included 8 songs. The music on both albums was largely produced by Roma the Englishman. It is noteworthy that in both albums each song had its own cover. The Flow included “Hangman” both in the top three Russian-language albums of 2014 and in the list of the 20 best recordings of the 2010s.

« Generally speaking, it was electronic pop. Another thing is that instead of the required meaningless plots, Oleg told rather hopeless stories, inside of which there was despair, hopelessness and emptiness.The Flow on "Hangman"»

On October 31, 2014, the mixtape Yung Trappa Jesse Pinkman 2 was released. Of the thirteen songs on the record, LSP participated in three - all of them were originally prepared for the joint album of the performers. Later, in February 2015, Oleg noted that Trappa “went off the radar,” and already in November he tells the story of their personal acquaintance: under what circumstances they met, how the creative process took place. LSP also says that he “thought to tell him something that they didn’t tell me,” but, as it turned out later, the advice Trappa accepted was not applied. On October 31, 2016, it became known that the rapper, convicted under Article 228 and having served in a pre-trial detention center for more than a year, was given almost six years in prison.

On November 27, 2014, LSP released a song together with Oksimiron, which was called “I’m Bored of Living.” At the end of the year, The Flow included the songs “MLD” and “I’m Bored to Live” in the list of the 50 best Russian-language recordings for the entire 2014.

2015: Romantic Colegtion and Magic City, departure from Booking Machine

The editors of The Flow included “Force Field” in the list of the best Russian-language songs for 2015. Oleg himself singled out this song in an interview for 34mag.net, where he called the text of “Force Field” one of his best creations.

On July 19, 2015, the album Magic City was released. Unlike the two previous studio albums, in Magic City Roma the Englishman limited himself to writing musical accompaniment for only five songs, while the rest was handled, in his own words, by “the fathers of trap music in Russia.” However, responsibility for all production and post-production of the album remains on the shoulders of the Englishman. Guest verses by Pharaoh, Oxxxymiron and Sil-A.

In anticipation of the album's release, on July 16, 2015, a video was released for a remix of the song "Madness", the original of which appears on the Breezey Montana mini-album "Gift or Curse", in which LSP performed only the chorus. “Bullet”, with Pharaoh, will be included in The Flow’s list of the best songs of 2015 at the end of the year, and the remix of “Madness”, with Oksimiron, will top its top ten. On September 10, 2015, a video clip for another song from Magic City, “OK,” was released.

In the summer of 2015, he stopped collaborating with Booking Machine, explaining that after signing, the small number of concerts that had previously came to naught. On April 1, 2016, Porchy’s song “Imperial” was released, which was originally planned to be included in the tracklist of his mixtape King Midas and in which Oleg, according to Oksimiron, talks about what he thinks about his former booking agency. In “Imperial” what happens is, as The Flow described the song: “a whole drama, a clash between two heroes of a generation” - LSP and Oxxxymiron. Oleg himself, contrary to his colleague’s accusations, stated that he put a completely different meaning into his text and in the online broadcast of the Periscope application, in his characteristic manner, performed “auto-decoding”, from a personal position explaining the meaning of virtually every line of his, concluding that his verse is ordinary represent. “I’m sure if the track had just been released by Porchy and I, it wouldn’t have been given to anyone, and diss songs wouldn’t have been found there either. Myron himself memeified him with his appearance on the track, turning almost any of my absolutely abstract lines into an attack on him and the Booking Machine,” LSP would later say.

2016-2017: “Confectionery”, Tragic City, departure of the Englishman

On May 17, LSP uploads a remix of the remix of the song “Madness,” to which he added the second verse. As he explained, he saw a lack of integrity and logic in the song, where the second verse was performed by Oksimiron, and cited as an example that such a trick had been pulled off before - with the song “MLD”, in the original version of which Yung Trappa sang the second verse.

In July - on the 8th and 10th - LSP uploads 2 leftovers from the time of “YOP” and “Hangman”: songs called “Bonus Babe” and “In Half”. On September 8, the song “Cake” is released, performed by LSP and the Moscow performer Pharaoh.

On September 30, 2016, the mini-album “Confectionery”, a joint project of LSP and Pharaoh, was published on SoundCloud. The release took place in support of their joint Cake Factory tour. On October 3, it arrived on platforms such as the iTunes Store and Apple Music.

On February 11, 2017, the first single, called “Phoenix,” was released from LSP’s next solo album, the release of which was originally scheduled for the fall of 2017. Previously, “the first single from the upcoming album” was called “Spit into Eternity.” “Phoenix” was recorded, according to Oleg, one and a half to two years before its release.

On April 22, 2017, the second track from the future album, “Money Problem,” was released, which had previously been performed at the group’s concerts.

On April 28, 2017, the third numbered studio album “LSP” Tragic City was released. There is only one invited performer - Lyokha Nikonov (“PTVP”). There are 13 songs, including the previously released singles “Spit in Eternity” and “Money Problem”. Tragic City is a direct continuation of Magic City and, in addition, introduces images, heroes, quotes from LSP’s previous works into the story.

« When I finished “Magic City”, it seemed that nothing better could be written and that this was our magnum opus. But a little time passed, and I began to gradually imagine the vector of further movement.<…>Recently I also thought that after “Tragic City” there was nothing much to say, but literally in the last days of working on it I already began to imagine what we would do next.LSP about further creativity»

On May 20, the “Coin” video was released, which became the most viewed LSP video in the entire history of the project.

On July 28, the Big Russian Boss song “Pimperial” is released with the musical accompaniment of Roma Englishman and Davip, in which LSP took part. The composition parodies last year’s “Imperial” - however, only at the level of the title and the presence of the meme phrase “ty pozhaleesh ob etom though”. Previously, the artists had already recorded the track “Celebration” together, which was included on the second solo album of Boss I.G.O.R.. BRB and LSP also collaborated as part of the Big Russian Boss Show, where Oleg and Roman became guests.

2017–present: Tragic City Tour

After the start of the Tragic City Tour, it became known that the new LSP concert lineup included Den Hawk and Pyotr Klyuev. Denis is known both for his collaboration with Oleg himself at an early stage of creativity, and for his work within the framework of Piggy Bang, and together with Petr Klyuev LSP previously performed “Coin” in an acoustic arrangement as part of 34 Music Sessions.

On October 2, 2017, a video clip for the song “Body” was published. The touching video series is dedicated to Roma the Englishman, who recently passed away, and is a kind of farewell to him. The role of Roman Sashcheko in the video was played by St. Petersburg video blogger Dmitry Larin. On the same day, Oleg became a musical guest in the Evening Urgant program, where he performed the song “Labyrinth of Reflections.” On October 4, Larin posted a behind-the-scenes vlog on his channel from the filming of a music video, in which, among other things, he noted that the music video directors were encouraged to cast him in the role of the Englishman by the comments under the video clip “Coin,” which played up the resemblance between Dmitry and Roman. As the video blogger stated, Oleg was filmed separately due to the discrepancy between their schedules. The backstage from the Dope Films team that shot the video was published on October 7.

Abbreviation (decoding)

In an interview with NUC magazine (April 10, 2014): “Once about 10 years in a row I looked out the window, this was when I was still at school. In general, I was looking out the window at the sun and began to feel like a holy Baptist in myself when the sun spoke to me. Although I didn’t understand any of what it said, and I never became a Baptist, the sunny symbolism of these wonderful words settled in my heart - A ray is stronger than a bullet. I don’t know where they would come from, but I liked the abbreviation.”

In an interview with The Flow website (June 17, 2014): “Usually when they interview us, they immediately ask about the name. Recently they asked - is it true that this means “A ray is stronger than a bullet”? Well, we say, no, it means “Lick yourself... [vagina].”

In an interview with “Blaze on the couch” (July 29, 2014): “[The option that’s closer to me now is] “A boy’s loving heart.” In Belarus we have a group called “Broken Sir Boy”. Well, sort of, it’s clear. But we recently realized that LSP is probably “A Boy’s Loving Heart.” Not “Broken” yet.”

At Versus Battle against Meowizzy (October 19, 2014), Oleg played with the LSP decoding like this: “You are LSP, but not Oleg - you just lick your penis.”
In an interview on the Big Russian Boss Show (April 25, 2017): “My favorite transcript is “Better ask later.”

The decoding of LSP is found in several of the artist’s tracks: “LSP - lies, passions and vices” (“Magic City”, Magic City), “LSP, better sing a song about love, the most truthful” (“Money problem”, Tragic City).

Artistry

Andrey Nedashkovsky from The Flow, in a review of the album “Hangman,” noted the “monotoneity” of LSP’s vocals, and also described his music as follows: “ <…>if you want flow, wordplay and other rap tricks, you won't find it here<…>. [But] Oleg dilutes the serious verses with funny turns of phrase, memorable phrases and choruses. And he simply knows how to entertain the listener.”. On the website Disgustingmen.com, Nikolai Chumakov described the leitmotif of LSP as follows: “Behind the melodic beat and sweet-voiced vocals lies the main advantage of Oleg’s work - his loud desire to declare his lost life».

As a child, I was inspired by the work of Andrei Gubin, and later learned about the hip-hop direction.

In 2014 he released the collection "YOP" and a full-length studio album"The Gallows", after which he acquired many new listeners.

Rap artist Oleg Savchenko, better known under the pseudonym LSP, was born on July 10, 1989 in a family of journalists.

As a child, the boy was inspired by the songs of pop musician Andrei Gubin. Later, after television program“Star Factory 4″, learned about Timati and became an avid listener of hip-hop (I became interested in the work of Bad Balance, Decl, etc.).

Parents, noticing their son’s musical passion, began to support his endeavors in every possible way.

Having become acquainted with the well-known rock performers of that period (Zemfira, KiSh, Mumiy Troll and others), Oleg realized that he liked rap much more. When he came of age, the guy released several test recordings in the hip-hop genre.

In 2007, Oleg’s debut mixtape entitled “I Got It All!” was released, and a little later, a collection of songs “Here We Come Again”.

2009 was marked by the release of Savchenko’s collaboration with Deech and Maxie Flow entitled “No Appeals”.

Two years later, LSP’s debut music video for the song “Hippie” premiered, and in September the 6-track EP “Seeing Colorful Dreams” was released into the public domain.

In the spring of 2012, LSP began close collaboration with beatmaker and musician Roma Englishman (real name Sashchenko).

Their first common work was the song “Numbers”; in September a video for the song “Why do I need this world” was released.

On May 13, 2013, a film adaptation of the track “Cocktail” was released, which, according to Russian rap publications, became one of best works of the year.

At the beginning of January 2014, Oleg expanded his discography with the album “YOP”; St. Petersburg performer Galat took part in the recording of the track “Loop”.

In April, LSP collaborated with Yung Trappa, releasing the song “MLD” (Baby Loves a Dealer) with him, and the next month the first, full-length studio album “Hangman” was presented, which included 8 solo tracks. Video works were shot for the works "Vinaigrette" and "Lost and Not Found".

The music producer of most of the compositions in this and subsequent releases was Roman Englishman.

Together with Miron Yanovich, known as Oxxxymiron, the guys signed a contract with “Booking Machine”, an agency that deals with concert activities.

In September, on Oksimiron’s advice, Oleg took part in the “Versus Battle” rap competition. Even though LSP won against Meowizzy, Savchenko still doesn’t understand why he spent his nerves on this.

In the wake of the “hype,” Savchenko stopped collaborating with the “Booking Machine” organization, citing the fact that, due to their management, the group’s concerts had become unbearably small.

In April 2016, the sensational song “Imperial” was released, in which LSP, according to one version, shared his dissatisfaction with his former agency.

At the end of April 2017, LSP decided to remind of himself with the album "Tragic City", which is a continuation of "Magic City". The solo album contains 13 compositions. In May, a video was released for the song “Coin”, which received more than 20 million views in six months.

In a conversation with video blogger Yuri Dudem, he spoke about the protracted conflict with rapper Oksimiron (Miron Fedorov), sexual preferences, and also named the most beautiful girl in Belarus.

The interview lasted more than an hour.

Oleg Savchenko tries not to talk about his personal life, so journalists from various music publications know nothing about the young musician’s girls. The rapper himself has repeatedly said that he has no children and wife, just as he has no problems with the female half of humanity...
