Adil Zhalelov

Adil Oralbekovich Zhalelov - Adil Kulmagambetov was born on June 3, 1990 in the village of Leninsky near the city of Pavlodar in the north-east of Kazakhstan, in the family of Oralbek Zhalelovich Kulmagambetov (born September 1, 1953). He began to study music in his teens, at the age of 11 he became interested in rap, at the age of 15 he began to compose music. He claims that in his youth he changed his surname Kulmagambetov to Zhalelov.

Scryptonite positions his work as "Kazakh rap" and does not approve of those who call him a "Russian performer" who makes "Russian rap". His first texts were devoted to children's problems and school, then a short period of the so-called "rap about rap" began, and he began to raise current topics in the early 2010s. In his songs, unlike other Russian-speaking rappers experimenting with "profound" lyrics, Scryptonite focuses on the musical component, which he often does personally.

The artist prefers not to talk about his personal life and never posts photos of his family on social networks. However, in Basta's video for the song "Sansara" in April 2017, viewers saw a photo of Scryptonite with a baby in her arms. Later, the rapper confirmed that on January 19, 2016, he had a son, who was named Rays (in honor of the mother of the artist himself). 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 for several years. The artist never presented his chosen one to the public, but she can be seen in the video invitation of Scryptonite to the Green Theater.

In his interview with Yuri Dudyu, the rapper said that after the birth of an heir, he moved his family from Kazakhstan to Moscow. However, after some time, the girl decided to return with the baby to her native Shymkent and again started working in the dance studio. The rapper has repeatedly noted that he works very hard, which is why he rarely comes to his homeland and sees his son, whom he misses very much.
