Automatic translation. Read the Russian original
On November 14, 2025, VK Records presented a joint track by Viti AK and Viti Matanga called “The Edge”. Vitya AK, the legendary Ural rapper and founder of the AK-47 collective, teamed up with Viti Matanga (Victor Buchellnikov), an authoritative Tyumen rap artist and blogger known for his unique style and mysterious reputation, which rarely appears in the public space.
“The Edge” is a musical project that combines the Ural and Tyumen scenes, combining different styles and generations. The song is a reflection of nostalgia for their native places, respect for roots and an easy ironic assessment of the changes taking place in life. The chorus combines elements of traditional Russian folklore and modern hip-hop, which is especially noticeable in the line: "Oh, play harmonic while hip-hop speaks into the microphone." Artists masterfully interweave memories of childhood, street life and new realities, creating a familiar and close to everyone who grew up in Russia, the atmosphere.
