Resident of a label of Black Star, which each year gives a new portion of hits and collects figurines as «Best hip hop project» tour will present their musical blockbusters as well as some very recent Prime Minister. We talked to Matvey Melnikov and learned what to expect from the upcoming tour.
Matthew, a little less than a month left before the start of the USA tour. This is your first U.S. tour? Are there any special expectations?
Soon will start our tour across America. I think for any artist, for any musician to perform in America — this is an important step. The whole tour is one big waiting game. Start out small, God forbid, ever get up to Madison Square Garden!
Eight cities, eight shows! Have you thought already on the track listing? What songs will sound? Will there be a premiere?
Plan to present to the audience favorite songs and, of course, new songs. It so happened that this year a lot of writing of songs in English, so there will be quite fresh premiere. Let us all in America classic hits like «Trap», and, of course, will light the dance tracks «Day and night», «Mama, I’m in Dubai» and others. So be assured, it will be very soulful and great.
