Los Angeles, CA – Lil Nas X is poised to take a stronghold radio airwaves yet again with his new genre-bending, melodic banger “Panini,” which is taken from his debut project 7.

He also admitted he paid just $20 for the rough mix his multi-platinum record, “Old Town Road.”
Later, he talked about working with production duo Take A Daytrip and what it’s like being typecast as a country rapper after the success “Old Town Road.”
“We got another song together (Daytrip) ‘Rodeo’ — like I love how when I went into the studio it wasn’t like an immediate, cause like a lot people, they hear ‘Old Town Road’ you know, and they think, you know, this is the only thing we want to do. That’s what you think you want, but you don’t know what you want until you hear it,” Lil Nas X said.
“Like a lot producers, well not a lot, but some them, I’ll get into there and they’ll play a random guitar loop with Trap drums and its like, it’s not the same thing.”
“Old Town Road” has remained a force on the Billboard Hot 100 charts for the last 11 weeks, making it the longest run on the chart since Drake’s “In My Feelings” took the world by storm between July and September 2018.
