Post Malone has made a bold and successful leap into the country music genre with his latest album, F-1 Trillion. The 57-minute album, which showcases a stellar lineup of collaborations, marks a significant departure from the artist’s earlier work, presenting a sound far removed from his hip-hop roots.
Post Malone, originally from Syracuse and raised in Texas, burst onto the music scene in 2015 with the viral hit “White Iverson,” which laid the groundwork for his debut album Stoney. This album, featuring collaborations with artists like Justin Bieber, 2 Chainz, and Quavo, solidified Malone’s position as a major player in hip-hop.
His sophomore album, beerbongs & bentleys, further established him as one of modern music’s most prolific streaming artists, boasting chart-topping tracks like “Better Now” and “Psycho.” With these two successful records under his belt, Malone’s journey took a more experimental turn with his subsequent albums, Hollywood’s Bleeding and Twelve Carat Toothache. While both albums produced notable hits, they also signaled a shift in his sound, with some fans noting a loss of the boldness that defined his earlier work.
Now, with F-1 Trillion, Post Malone ventures into the realm of country music, backed by a lineup of prominent collaborators that would have seemed unlikely just a few years ago. The album’s release marks an exciting new chapter in Malone’s career, demonstrating his versatility and willingness to explore different musical landscapes.
