Lil Nas X has announced the release date for the upcoming debut album Montero. The LP, which will likely contain the singles “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” and “Industry Baby”, will be released on September 17th. Check out the album trailer teasing a new song below.
The rapper rose to superstar with his song “Old Town Road” last year, which was followed by his Grammy-nominated debut EP 7. The song went through several rounds of remixes from Billy Ray Cyrus, BTS, CupcakKe, Lil Wayne and Young Thug and Mason Ramsey. “Old Town Road” stayed at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 19 weeks, setting a new record for time spent on the top of the charts.
