California
Schemin'is
the
remarkable
real
life
story
of
how
two
rappers
from
Dundee
pretended
to
be
two
rappers
from
California
and
duped
the
record
industry
out
of
hundreds
of
thousands
of
pounds.Gavin
Bain
and
Billy
Boyd
-
or
Silibil
N'
Brains,
as
they
became
known
-
were
two
ordinary
Scottish
boys
who
shared
an
extraordinary
dream:
to
become
rap
superstars.
Creating
new
identities
for
themselves,
they
persuaded
the
music
industry
that
they
were
the
latest
hot
young
talent
from
California.
Silibil
N'
Brains
then
lived
out
that
lie
for
more
than
two
years,
securing
an
enormous
record
deal
with
Sony
and
being
catapulted
into
the
industry
high-life,
rubbing
shoulders
with
the
likes
of
Madonna,
Eminem
and
D12.But,
ironically,
they
could
never
actually
deliver
and
promote
the
album
that
they
were
paid
so
much
money
to
put
together.
As
soon
as
they
became
famous
they
would
be
recognised
by
anyone
who
had
known
them
in
their
former
lives
in
Scotland
and
the
dream
would
evaporate.
As
the
pressure
mounted,
there
would
be
disastrous
consequences
…California
Schemin'
is
a
story
of
incredible
highs
and
terrible
lows,
of
doing
whatever
it
takes
to
follow
your dream.
