Last One

***Last One*** (stylized as ***LAST ONE***) is the sixth studio album by Russian rap artist and musician Morgenstern. It was released on October 21, 2022 by Bugatti Music and distributed by ONErpm. The album contains guest appearances from The Limba, LSP, LJ and Entype. According to Alisher, this is his last album in Russian.

## Background

On November 24, 2021, after accusations by the chairman of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin of drug trafficking on social networks, Alisher left Russia for the UAE .

In the summer of 2022, Morgenstern announced his intentions to release the last album in Russian. In his video message, the artist stated that he has a lot of tracks that he can release once a month and do nothing for three years. “But here the question arises: will humanity still live for three more years? And if he lives, then I, as an artist in Russia, will be able to live that long? Or will they deprive me of citizenship tomorrow and forbid me to mention it? ”, The rapper said, after which he decided to combine the tracks into one album, adding:“ And then I, like Vanya Face , will go to write in English. Alisher also announced a US concert tour . The artist faced problems promoting the album due to various restrictions in Russia: “I can’t get a single promo out. My album cannot be hung on any banner in Russia. And by the way, the question is: why? What am I, an enemy of the state? What have I done?.. All the last songs are sad, not very energetic. Didn't feel very good inside for a while. I regained my energy. I'm tired of writing sad songs. I won't be sad anymore" .

In October 2022, Alisher showed the album's tracklist, among the guests are The Limba , Zamai , LSP , Kizaru , Feduk , Milana Khametova and Milana Star . The track listing was seen as a joke, as Kizaru refuses to collaborate with Morgenstern for an extended period of time; the track "Homeless" with Feduk is a reference to Feduk's words about the collaboration of artists: "Even if I'm a homeless person, you won't hear a collaboration with Morgenstern"; diss on Scryptonite contradicts Alisher's words about love for Adil's work . To the released track listing, Kizaru responded, “I’m begging you man, leave me alone. I understand: marketing, everything. You tell everyone that you are my fan, so have at least some respect then, although you are unlikely to be familiar with such a word ” .

Before the very release of the album, Alisher took part in the show "Viska", where he spoke about the new album, and also showed Vasya and Kolya all the tracks from the album, which in small quantities got into the video as snippets. According to Alisher, he is confident in the success of the album, and the track "Eeeee" is currently his favorite song of all time in his musical career. Also, according to Alisher, only a couple of songs, in his opinion, will become hits, thanks to which the album will still be able to return him to the same former fame.

## Video clips

On October 20, 2022, a video clip for the song "Balance" from the upcoming album, filmed in 2021, was released. The clip shows footage from the wedding of Alisher and Dilara Zinatullina .

The day after the release of the album, on October 22, Alisher posted the video clip "Eeeee", filmed during the concert and on the streets in Amsterdam .
