Post Malone’s debut single, “White Iverson”, dropped out of nowhere in 2015, quickly going so viral that a follow-up seemed impossible—the artist himself even claimed to be a one-hit wonder. But fate had other ideas, and he was soon collaborating with Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Pharrell, and 21 Savage, with each new single toppling the last for chart positions and platinum statuses. Using elements of hip-hop, pop, rock, and country, the New York-born, Texas-bred artist incorporates acoustic guitars as readily as guest rap verses, creating hyper-on-trend melodic earworms with uncanny hitmaking precision.
