Read the review of Scott’s Utopia by music publicist Karel Veselý:
Similar to other rappers, Scott’s career has been accompanied by problems with the law. For example, following performing at Lollapalooza in 2015, he was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct following urging fans in the front rows to disobey the organizers’ safety instructions.
