Lil Nas X has arrived with his highly anticipated debut album the 7 EP. The 20-year-old artist from Atlanta, Georgia came up in 2018 with his trap country hit “Old Town Road.” An odd genre-pairing, the song gained popularity as it became a favorite in the Tik-Tok library as part of the #YeehawChallenge.

The divide between people loving or hating Nas X’s flow is pretty even. Some country purists felt it was not country enough to be considered a country song. After some upheaval from country hotheads, the song was removed from the Hot Country Songs after debuting at number 19. This just fueled the fire more with country legend Billy Ray Cyrus getting in the studio with Nas X. They came together to make the “Old Town Road Remix.” Currently, the song still stands at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The 7 EP is exactly what we expected, a certified hit. Proving he is not just a one-hit wonder, Lil Nas X brings the bangers with tracks like “Panini” and “Rodeo” featuring Cardi B. Fusing country, rap, and rock, Lil Nas X is on his own wave and he is riding it straight to the top. As of right now, this is the album of the year, the one everyone will be talking about and might not actually get snubbed at the major award shows. Infectious and original, Lil Nas X has made his claim as one of the top artists in the game right now.
