Post Malone has expanded his musical repertoire to include a bit of southern charm.
Fresh off his acoustic performance of “America the Beautiful” at the Super Bowl, the rapper surprised the world once again with a small snippet of an upcoming country track.
Malone teased his new country hit with Luke Combs on social media.

The clip posted by Malone was a short one with minimal details about the song revealed.
Combs does not appear in the video, but Malone tagged the country star in the caption alongside a beer emoji.
The video shows Malone dancing and mouthing the words of the new track.
Malone first toyed with the idea of taking a swing at country music in June 2022 during a Howard Stern interview.

“To be honest, there’s nothing stopping me from taking a camera or setting up in my studio in Utah and just recording a country album and me just putting it on f—ing YouTube,” Malone said in the interview, per Billboard.
JELLY ROLL ON HIS COUNTRY MUSIC TAKEOVER: ‘I FOUND MY VOICE’
“I’m allowed to do that. … I split my time between a lot of different things because I am happily obligated to do concerts and show love to my fans … and then I’m happily obligated to write music and make beats by myself.”
“And I’m happily obligated to, you know, take care of my family. So, it’s a lot of time, and it’s about finding that space to allot that time. If I get another year to myself, maybe I’ll make a f–-king country album.”

Malone isn’t the first artist to experiment in new genres. His country tease comes on the heels of the release of two country songs released by Beyoncé from her upcoming album, “Renaissance Act II.”
Malone will join country artists like Morgan Wallen, Miranda Lambert and Jelly Role at the Stagecoach Festival in April.
