Post Malone<\/strong>\u00a0has had an extremely successful transition into country music, after releasing his debut country album\u00a0F-1 Trillion<\/em>\u00a0in 2024, which featured country stars like Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, Billy Strings, Chris Stapleton and more.<\/p>\n

Since then, he\u2019s been on an international tour, selling out stadiums and bringing country to an entirely new demographic of fans. The album was really solid, but I was of course partial to the deluxe edition Post put out of just solo songs that felt decidedly more country in terms of the classic inspirations he\u2019s talked about in the years leading up to his jump into country.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"Post<\/p>\n

As a longtime fan, it seemed like he transitioned pretty seamlessly into this new genre and did it really well, but there is one major difference he\u2019s taken into consideration in terms of how to approach country as opposed to rap and hip hop.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Posty says he\u2019s tried to cuss a LOT less\u2026 but only in his music, of course:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m having a great time, dude. I try to cuss less in my songs. Not in real life, but in my songs.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019d say he pretty much accomplished that goal\u2026 of course, I think a cuss word here and there in a country song can really work and not just sound like filler, and obviously it\u2019s a pretty stark contrast of the lyricism of the\u00a0rap songs he made a name creating.<\/p>\n

Being able to write, and write well, in such different genres takes a lot of talent and he deservers a ton of credit for that.<\/p>\n

\"Post<\/p>\n

Also during this interview, Post hinted at some new country tunes on the way, and played it coy when asked about whether or not he and Morgan Wallen might have some new music together in the works. He also confirmed he\u2019s been in the studio so it sounds like we might have some new Post Malone music on the way, at least by next year:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m not giving it away\u2026 I\u2019ve been in the studio, so I\u2019m excited.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

His song with Morgan in particular was a massive crossover hit, as \u201cI Had Some Helped\u201d was named Billboard\u2019s 2024 Songs of the Summer, in addition to debuting at the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and becoming the second-longest-running number-one song of 2024.<\/p>\n

I think he\u2019s obviously an incredibly talented artist, with the rare ability to make music in multiple genres that\u2019s actually really good and authentic to who he is.<\/p>\n

It sounds like Post plans to stick around country for a while, and I\u2019m here for it.<\/p>\n
