Taking to social media to share a snippet of an unreleased track, the artist, born Austin Post, hinted that his upcoming project might harken back to the era of his debut album, “Stoney.” This move comes on the heels of his successful foray into country music, culminating in the release of his first full-length country album, F-1 Trillion, which topped the Billboard 200 charts and featured collaborations with prominent figures in the genre.
