Ädil Oralbekuly Zhälelov, born Kulmagambetov (Kazakh: Әділ Оралбекұлы Жәлелов (Құлмағамбетов); Russian: Адиль Оралбекович Жалелов (Кулмагамбетов), romanized: Adil Oralbekovich Zhalelov (Kulmagambetov); born 3 June 1990), known professionally as Skryptonite (Russian: Скриптонит, romanized: Skriptonit)[1] is a Kazakh rapper, singer, songwriter and music producer. He is the founder of the music record label Musica36. In 2013 Skryptonite introduced himself to the music scene by dropping a video for his single “VBVVCTND”. A year and a half later he released his debut album Dom s normalnymi yavleniyami [ru] (transl. House with Normal Activity), which became one of the most successful Russian-language rap albums of 2015.
In 2018, he split his work into two projects: Skryptonite and Gruppa Skryptonite.[2] As Adil himself explained, this distinction applies not only to recording songs, but also to concerts.[2] Thus, Gruppa Skryptonite are a music band of eight people and new arrangements, while Skryptonite concerts are a "rapper + DJ" format and perform to backing tracks.[2]
