Oleg Savchenko singer. LSP (Oleg Savchenko) - Biography, personal life, photo, death

– 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”, “a loving heart of a boy”, “lies, passion and vices”; he called the “better ask later” version 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. It is customary to count the beginning from 2011 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 hit the charts best compositions for a month, and the latter was called a diamond in the brostep genre and awarded third place in the top of the 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 the song “Force Field” from the album “Romantic Colegtion”, released at the beginning of 2015, to be one of the best. 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 did 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 this year, LSP released “Spit in 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 his social network page, Oleg wrote that the work of a large team remained behind the scenes, and above all, Roman himself would not have allowed 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" - in combination with an unusual hand-drawn video, together with the Moscow punk group "Pasosh" - new version their songs "Party". A Hell And Back Tour is planned for 2018.

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, it turned out to be the band's last album.

Popular performer gave frank interview about a friend whose life was tragically cut short last year. Oleg Savchenko from “LSP” became the new guest of the “vDud” show. During the episode, Oleg talked a lot about his career, plans for the future and, of course, about Roma the Englishman.

In the new episode of the show “vDud” the guest was Oleg Savchenko, the frontman of the group “LSP”. The performer invited Yuri Dud to visit him and talked very openly with him about the past and future. As usual, during the conversation there was a lot of swearing, talking about sex, illegal substances and big plans.

As part of the issue, Oleg talked about topics that concern fans and gave answers to questions that for a long time avoided. Let us recall that last year, under tragic circumstances, the composer and producer of the LSP group, Roman Sashchenko, better known under the pseudonym Roma the Englishman, passed away. They tried to hide the causes of death, but everyone understood that a drug overdose was to blame. And now, after a long time, Oleg spoke quite openly about this topic for the first time.

First, Oleg remembered how he met Roma and at what point they decided to create a group. Savchenko admitted that he quickly became close to the Englishman and even began to consider him the brother he never had.

“I had an episode - “Seeing Colorful Dreams”, it was brought together by a guy from Mogilev. Cool, smart dude. He helped mix the release, and it turned out that he had a friend who helped him in all aspects - Roma. The two of them wanted to do something in the style of “ Major Lazer" or "Diplo". The two of them were doing such a project at that time. Roma listened to what he did for me, joked around and somehow ended up at our party in Mogilev. (...) And we are like that with him<заболтались>. Everyone had already started to go home, and we then stayed in the kitchen and talked. I gave him an enthusiastic<фигню>, <понтовался>And Clever words said. And he agreed. We caught the wave. I realized that he was a cool guy, and we agreed to catch up in Minsk,” Oleg recalled.

The very next day Oleg sent Roma a text that he really wanted to make music for and asked the Englishman to work on the arrangement. Almost immediately the composer sent him a minus track, which perfectly matched the words.

“I turn it on, sing it and everything goes away,” recalls Oleg. - You know, it’s like “that same” guy with a guitar in the yard - no matter what you ask, he knows everything. And he plays to one tune like “Battery,” and everything falls on it, roughly speaking.”

Then the Englishman used dubstep in the arrangement. This was already fashionable in the world, but in Minsk, where Roman is from, it had not yet taken root. At first, the musicians worked on business terms, and then they became related and became the LSP group.

It’s hard for Oleg to talk about the prohibited substances that “took” the life of his close friend. According to him, these are Roma’s secrets that he would like to hide from prying eyes.

“Roma is part of my family. I very quickly began to treat him as brother and accepted it wholeheartedly<фигней>like a brother. I consider his parents to be my parents, and they also consider me a son. Everything that concerns Roma and his parents, you<волновать>It shouldn’t,” Savchenko responded emotionally.

The only way Oleg spoke on this topic was to draw a parallel between the Englishman and Gorshok from the group “KiSh”, who died under similar circumstances. Savchenko believes that they have similar destinies. Both had a lifestyle in which many were surprised that death had not overtaken them even earlier.

It is still difficult for a performer to remember the day when a close friend passed away. Interestingly, Savchenko feels relieved. Shortly before the death of the Englishman, the friends did not see each other for a couple of weeks, which, as Oleg now claims, subsequently helped him accept what happened relatively calmly.

“Denya Astapov called me and said: “Everything has happened.” And I understood everything,” Oleg shares his memories. - This is not easy news, I received these<тумаков>informational. When I went through all this, I began to think about what to do next.”

Dud clarified whether close people, in particular Oleg, tried to fight Roma’s addiction. And if not forcibly put in the hospital, then at least just talk, explain the whole situation, outwit...

Next year Oleg plans to gather about 15 thousand people for the band’s concert.

“We made attempts,” admits Savchenko. - Until a person wants something himself, it will not happen. If he sincerely wants it, he achieves it. I answered your question, even if you think that - no (...) Roma was the most cunning dude I know. No one could outwit Roma, and in some way Roma outwitted himself.”

Yuri Dud: “So he sincerely wanted to die?”

“You can interpret it that way,” replied the band’s frontman

Oleg LSP appeared on our radar three years ago. But it all really started only in 2014: two albums were released at once - the winter "YOP" and the recent "Hangman", which we really liked. The Flow walked with Oleg and his colleague Roma around Moscow and went to their concert.

Oleg and Roma the Englishman are sitting on a park bench and are getting ready to go to VDNKh to play basketball. They laugh, reminisce about their recent interviews (each trashier than the next), and with the recorder in my hand, I feel a little foolish. Nothing comes to mind smarter than the question: “So you are a group now?” “A group,” they agree.

“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).”

Oleg graduated from the Faculty of Philology, Roma studied postmodern philosophy. At the same time, he played in the electropunk band GreenChe; at one of the concerts, Lekha Nikonov from the Last Tanks in Paris noticed her and invited her to perform at the legendary St. Petersburg club “Griboyedov.” The group, however, did not last long. “A side effect of punk is that you are tightly you stick out. It really interferes with work.”

After that, Roma was engaged in studio work, one day he was asked to mix the album of “one guy from Vitebsk.” “I said that it was too positive, “bananas” there, “ice cream”! Well, he refused - some other guy mixed it - no effect. I say: “Introduce me to this guy, I have a few existential disadvantages for him.”

The “existential” minuses came at just the right time. If on the first release of LSP “Seeing Colorful Dreams” everything was, albeit sad, but very bright (“as if Kid Cudi hung out with Mitya Fomin” - I once recommended him to my friends) , then in 2014 he recorded two albums of songs about how disgusting everything is. I must clarify: beautiful songs about how disgusting everything is.

“Roma is not a hip-hop guy, but now he has gradually become more tolerant. He can turn on Drake, he likes “No New Friends.” Oleg and I quote songs from the group Legal Bizne$$ to each other; for him, their record became almost the first rap album. And he started writing rap after he watched Timati on TV in the “Star Factory.” “I saw the guy come out - and the topic that my mother was watching exploded with hip-hop. ..... (amazing) in general , I decided to quit the rap guy too.”

As a person who graduated from the philology department, Oleg uses his words very carefully. In his songs, as in a youth comedy, everything is simple and not confusing. The heroine loves the drug dealer because he is “stylish and brave.” After a night at the club, the hero turns to his companion: “It sucks, you’re not even a girl, you’re rotten meat!” (literally). The guy hits on the girl with the phrase “You are better than the Internet.” Everything is as it happens in life.

“We are adherents of the discourse of post-gopnichestvo” (emphasis on I), Roma jokes. Or maybe he’s not joking. What I really like about LSP is this combination of children and adults: these are the songs of a child who suddenly one day discovered that all his peers have matured, but he hasn’t. That’s why there’s a joke thing standing nearby. about Pikachu and a track about how a person jumps from the roof; failed love, drugs, lack of money - all this is in his songs.

What they don’t have is an evil, approaching provincialism; for this, Oleg and Roma are very educated, open-minded and, excuse me, ideological. To my surprise I learn that their name last album“Gallows” is taken from the song of the St. Petersburg alternative group “Chimera”.

The school of electropunk was not in vain - Roma cranks up Skrillex's "wob-wob", Davidgett's synthesizers and Baauer's 808 drums to the maximum. Therefore, everything sounds loud, assertive, desperate. And maybe a little more teenage than required - but this is already your personal problems.

“Cocktail” is LSP’s main song today; it is usually played last at concerts.

“LSP - clean water literature, there are no experiences, no personal experience. It is clear that there is love, pain, existential suffering, but it is not clear that it is Oleg LSP who suffers. Every Russian rapper is a hostage to himself: many rappers like to turn their lives into a reality show. But we don’t have that. Oleg can then call himself whatever he wants - and it will be ruined."

There is one more nuance: for all Oleg’s extraordinary charm, his music is equally masculine and feminine. “I constantly read on VKontakte that we write songs for chicks. And I was always amazed at how normal guy will write songs for the boys?! I feel sorry for people like that.” Oleg’s fellow countryman Max Korzh works in much the same way: if you come to his concerts, it’s easy to see that there are approximately equal numbers of visitors of both sexes.

Comparisons with Korzh don’t irritate you? “Yes, I recently read on the contrary that it was Korzh who took everything from us. Well, we stewed together in the same..... (garbage), hung out in the same studio." Roma, among other things, participated in the recording of Korzh’s second album, “Life in High.” But he and Oleg are reluctant to talk about Korzh; Instead, we pack up and go to VDNKh. On the way, we discuss Yanix’s new mixtape - then, when we meet in person, Oleg will surprise him by knowing the words to all the tracks by heart.

A day later, I watch how at an LSP concert, right in front of the stage, a hundred people start jumping madly from the very first track. Oleg carries all the time funny nonsense, raises toasts to Moscow and is so charmingly rude to the audience that no one can even think of being offended by him. And suddenly it dawns on me how to explain in a nutshell to myself, to you, and to anyone else what is so special about him.

It's simple. He is stylish and bold.

Oleg LSP’s debut mini-album “Seeing Colorful Dreams” was released on September 16, 2011. In the subsequent period, Oleg gets acquainted and joins efforts in working on new music with Roma the Englishman, the first fruit of collaboration with whom is 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, “Cartoon Films”, “Mumiy Troll” and “The King and the Clown”. 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 rap.ru, and “Cocktail” subsequently took a place in the ranking best songs in a 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 Rain", 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 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 Life.” 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" 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

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.

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.

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 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 for his collaboration with Oleg himself on early stage creative work, 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 program “ Evening Urgant“, 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 directors 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)

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 Sofa” (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 beat 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».
