[6] Besides them, the group consisted of Yuri Drobitko (Yurik Thursday), Sayan Zhimbaev (Truwer), Azamat Alpysbaev (Six O) and Aidos Dzhumalinov (Strong Symphony).

[8] In 2013, Scriptonite, together with Niman, released the music video for the song "VBVVCTND" (stands for "Vybor bez variantov — vse chto ty nam dal") (transl.

The single "Cosmos", recorded with Dasha Charusha [ru], topped the iTunes charts and was 22nd on The Flow's "50 Best Tracks of 2015".

Gazeta.Ru columnist Yaroslav Zabaluev noted that "in an hour and a half, Jalelov offers not just conceptual, atmospheric work, but also a fair amount of genre diversity, from trap and new York hip-hop to almost gospel.

[18] "House with Normal Phenomena" became one of the most successful Russian rap albums of 2015,[19][20][21] and Scriptonite himself was voted "rapper of the year" by online publication Colta.ru.

[31] In September 2016, the Russian edition of the men's magazine GQ recognized Skryptonite as "Discovery of the Year".

Hours before the album's release, the song "Outro"[35] and a double video clip of Scriptonite - "Party" / Jillzay - "Bar '2 Lesbuchi".

Soon it became known that the band Jillzay closed, and instead the music label Zorski was formed,[37] which includes performers 104 (Yuri Drobitko), Truwer (Sayan Zhimbaev) and Benz (Altynbek Merkanov).

In September, artists 104 and Truwer presented their collaborative solo album "Safari," on which Skriptonit appeared not only as a guest but also as an executive producer.

[41] On August 9, 2018, Adil releases "the first story from Gruppa Skryptonite's new music project," titled "Stupid and Unnecessary".

[61] On December 24, 2019, Scriptonite released his fourth studio album, "2004", featuring Andy Panda, 104, Truwer, MDee and Ryda.

It doesn't have any narrative concept or storyline stretching from beginning to end, but it sounds solid and very special to me personally.

[11] In his songs, unlike other Russian-speaking rappers experimenting with "deep" lyrics, Skriptonit emphasizes the musical component, which he often does himself.

[19] The peculiar pronunciation, which is jokingly called "Yeltsin-flow", and "half-drunk" voice gave a unique sound for his debut album.

[63] In order to avoid other people's influence, Scriptonite practically does not listen to songs in Russian, including works by other rap artists[64] After the release of the album House with Normal Phenomena, famous rap singer Oxxxymiron praised Skryptonite's work, noting the high level of "musical frenzy and originality".

However, in the Basta music video for the song "Sansara"[69] in April 2017 viewers saw a photo of Skriptonit with a baby in his arms.

The baby's mother was a dancer and choreographer, Nigora Abdiganieva, whom Adil met long before he became famous, and had been in a relationship with for several years.
