Menshikov was born July 30, 1977, in Moscow. Hip-hop came in 1993: Ligalize and Ladjack organized the project "Slingshot". He called himself "Ligalize" because that was the name of his first group. Slingshot was a more serious project. They began by rapping in English, as the Russian language did not seem appropriate for rap, and recorded their first underground album.
