In 1991, Maxim Gololobov became interested in hip-hop music thanks to his acquaintance with Sergei "Sir-J" Bulavintsev, who at that time had a collection of American rap music that he himself had brought from the USA. Gololobov often spent time at Sir-J's house, listening to and transcribing albums on audio cassettes. In 1992, at the 2/2 club, Gololobov met the future members of the Cash Brothers group (N'Pans, Bual, Jackson), who began to teach him how to
breakdance. It was they who nicknamed him "Jeep" because of his red jacket with a patch that says "Jeep" that he wore.
K. T. L. D. L. L. On 19 December 1991, Jeep met a dancer from Madagascar named Kristin, who invited him to work as a
backup dancer for rapper MC Anthony at the Jump disco at the
Druzhba Multipurpose Arena in the
Luzhniki Olympic Complex as part of the Igor's Pop Show musical show project. On the same day, the group "Bachelor Party" performed there, which had breakers as backup dancers - Kirill Lisovsky ("Seal") and Dmitry Lanin ("Moose"). After the concert, Jeep met Seal and Los, who at that time had the idea to create a rap project called "K.T.L. D.L.L." (an abbreviation of the full names of Tyulen and Elk:
Kirill "
Tyulen"
Lisovsky and
Dima "Moose"
Lanin). Jeep decided to join their group. Inviting him to his home in
Orekhovo-Borisovo North, Tyulen showed him his lyrics and music. The cost of recording one track at the studio at that time cost from one hundred to two hundred dollars, so Jeep offered them to record two songs with the money of the father of his new acquaintance, Konstantin Vasilevsky ("Iceberg"), whom he met at the Dukat club. The meeting of the band members with Vasilevsky took place at a concert of the French rapper MC Solaar at the Orion Club on 9 June 1992. A few days later, the four of them went to the studio and recorded the first song called "You are a corpse." Two months later, the track "Only the Killed Is Out of Danger" (aka "Streets") was recorded. Guitarist Zuy took part in the recording of both tracks. The day after the recording of the track "Streets", the group "K.T.L. D.L.L." performed with her at the first All-Russian rap festival, organized by the producer of Lika MS (Lika Olegovna Pavlova), Sergey Obukhov (Class Studio), in Moscow's Gorky Park in August 1992. Music critic
Artemy Troitsky was the chairman of the jury of the festival, and
Lolita Milyavskaya and Alexander Tsekalo (Cabaret duet "Academy") were the hosts. Group "K.T.L. D.L.L." took third place, second place went to
Bad Balance, and first place went to MD & C Pavlov. On 19 February 2013, the founder of the K.T.L. Di.L.L., Cyril "Seal" Lisovsky, died of
bronchial asthma, which he suffered from childhood, at the age 38.
Slaves of the Lamp In 1995, after returning from the army, Jeep learned that the C.T.L. D.L.L." no longer exists, and its participants are addicted to drugs. Jeep also became addicted. Jeep's partner in the group was Alexey Perminov (Grundik). In 1996, the group became part of the hip-hop association DOB Community.

Two songs were recorded, which were produced by Andrey Kit : "Dedication" (in memory of Grundik) (with the participation of Stahey from the group "Shadows") and "Superlyric" (with the participation of Dime from Nonamerz).
