Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip

Dan Le Sac and Scroobius Pip started working together in 2006, with Dan Le Sac handling production and Scroobius Pip writing and delivering the lyrics. Their first album, 'Angles', came out in 2008 and set the tone for what they'd do: electronic beats paired with sharp, talky raps about things happening around them. A track like 'Thou Shalt Always Kill' from that record became an early signature, a list of cultural commandments delivered with a dry wit.

They kept putting out albums every few years, each one a little different. 'The Logic of Chance' in 2010 was a concept album about fate, while 2013's 'Repent Replenish Repeat' turned more inward. They weren't afraid to poke at social tensions, either. The song 'Snob' directly took on class and privilege, which sparked plenty of conversation and some criticism at the time.

Their sound was always built on Dan Le Sac's detailed, sometimes glitchy electronic backdrops, which gave Scroobius Pip's wordy, observant verses a place to land. He'd rap about everything from personal doubt on a song like 'Broken Promises' to broader societal issues, often in the same breath. They released their final album, 'The Lost Arc', in 2019.
