Den lange vej (transl. The long road) is the sixth solo studio album by Albanian-Danish rapper Artigeardit. The album, released on 5 June 2026, was published by Universal Music Denmark. The album achieved number one on the Hitlisten charts.

Release and reception

Announced on Artigeardit's personal Instagram on 3 June 2026, the album was announced for a release two days later on 5 June. Two singles preceded the album's release, as Artigeardit released "Louisiana" in April, and "Ivrig" just days before the announcement of the album. As with his previous studio album, Den lange vej was largely produced by Marius Iversen.

The album released on 5 June to positive-to-mixed reviews. Soundvenue writer Kjartan Stolberg reviewed the album positively, giving it five of six stars, stating it was one of the artist's "masterpieces" alongside Længe leve. Ekstra Bladet reviewer Thomas Treo also gave the album four of six stars. Other outlets were more critical of the album, with Gaffa giving the album three of six stars, stating the album tried to do too much. Politiken reviewer Simon Lund gave the album five of six stars, calling Artigeardit Danish hip-hop's answer to David Bowie.

The album achieved number one upon its debut on the Hitlisten charts, making it Artigeardit's fifth consecutive studio album to achieve the number one spot. In the album's debut week, it sent three songs into the Danish top 40.
