Skryptonite: The Session Musicians

When not commanding the stage as a rapper, Adil Zhalelov—aka Skryptonite—is a production alchemist, responsible for a slew of Kazakh and Russian hip-hop hits since 2009. Versatile in their makeup, his beats mix elements of trip-hop, trap and soul to conjure hazy atmospheres that envelop the woozy flows of MCs such as Truwer, Basta and 104.
