Nigga has songs with Future, Lil Baby, Thug, Timbaland beats and has crazy placement going for him. Unbelievable promo. I've seen this guy's name 100 times yet haven't hear a song of his.

yup

At least he’s good

And it hurts him as an artist imo

Normally whether youre a plant or not means nothing to me and i think its one of more annoying conversations in music.

But man there is something really disingenuous about him and idk how to really describe it. Him having the style that he has but also being so blatantly industry backed makes it feel like an SNL skit or like a parody artist in a movie and not someone who genuinely is just doing something different.

who

It just feels like a boardroom full of white executives saw the success of OTR and created this dude in a lab.

Old Town Road and the whole hip-hop/country genre mashup was first and foremost a meme. And there’s nothing lamer than when companies start trying to co-op memes

He is a massive plant but I like his EP.

went viral off essentially a meme. country rap with a hood aesthetic.

I thought the rascal video was just some random nigga making a video in his backyard but now I’m convinced the label is behind the whole thing.

most def. notice that there's no trace of his music from before the label, even on soundcloud, so they probably told him to delete all of it . and the original video that blew him up got posted on a promo channel not his own.
now he's posted up with timbo

It’s just Royce Rizzy wit another alter ego

edit: nah he got interviews out and they sound different but
good guess

Big plant

Y’all think the industry just has personalities laying around that they offer to up and coming struggling artists?

Yes lmao. Where do yall think the winners of the voice go to?

This guy dropped that Rascal song and literally 20mins after that every publication put up a praise review lol.
Influencers were tweeting like crazy

yall are literally f***ing braindead

a song like Rascal not going viral was impossible. s*** is a classic viral moment and the labels are well aware. This was MONTHS ago

why are yall too braindead to accept a record label using this momentum to get features??? HOW DOES GETTING FEATURES MAKE YOU A PLANT? RASCAL GIVES YOU CLOUT TO BE ABLE TO DO THESE THINGS LMAO

maybe because it was groundbreaking s***??? Like use yall f***ing noggins bro everybody when they first heard it knew it was some crazy wild s***

And instead of complaining yall should jump on the train!

The replies in this thread are hilarious somebody brought up old town road

i just saw the video n i kinda f***s with dude

plant or no plant

I'm sure if you made a groundbreaking song with the audience that he had you would get a rolling stone,pitchfork,billboard,stereogum etc etc cosigns lol

Also nobody is denying the quality of the music.
Its just that he obviously has the label machine behind him.
You dont rise in the industry in half an hour stop being f***ing stupid
