Can you believe it’s been almost three years since Lil Nas X dropped ‘Old Town Road’?With that one track, produced for less than $100, the rapper made history. ‘Old Town Road’ became the longest running single to sit at number one on the charts, and kicked off a debate about the definition of country music.Lil Nas X himself became the first openly queer Black artist to win a Country Music Association Award. He’s won two Grammys, 5 MTV Video Music Awards, and continues to break chart records. He was also named one of the 25 most influential people on the internet by Time.His first full-length album ‘Montero’ is here, and it’s both a commercial and critical success - cementing X’s status as one of the biggest pop stars of his generation.So why does everyone love rooting for him? And does the ‘Montero’ live up to the hype? To unpack it all, presenter Osman Faruqi is joined by music critic for The Saturday Paper, Shaad D’Souza.
