Post Malone, the rapper known for hits like "Sunflower" and "Circles," has officially gone country. His new album, "F1 Trillion," features 18 tracks, each a full-fledged country collaboration with some of the genre's biggest names, including Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, and Blake Shelton.
This isn't just a fleeting experiment. Malone has fully embraced the country music scene, even performing at the CMA Awards last year and showcasing his new sound at the legendary Grand Ole Opry. His collaboration with Morgan Wallen, "I Had Some Help," has garnered significant attention, receiving four CMA Award nominations, including the coveted Song of the Year.
Perhaps the most surprising move? Malone's current tour features no hip-hop tracks. Concertgoers are being treated to a full set of country tunes, proving that this is more than just a side project. The former rapper's dedication to his new musical direction is clear, leaving fans wondering what other genres Malone might explore in the future.
One thing's for sure: Post Malone's foray into country is proving to be a serious and successful endeavor.
