‘Old Town Road’ hitmaker Lil Nas X continues riding the unconventional road to the release of his forthcoming mixtape, ‘Nasarati 2,’ by dropping new songs exclusively to Soundcloud.

Having already lifted new fan favorites ‘Right There,’ ‘Light Again,’ and ‘Lean on My Body‘ to the platform, the 25-year-old has followed with the deeply personal ‘Trust Me.’

“Grindr sessions sextin’ with faceless accounts / Bringin’ bodies in me, then sneaking them out / Back in middle school, I was fiending for d-ck / 7th grade, sending my homies some pics / Daddy never knew what I did as a kid / He would’ve crucified me,” he croons on the Omer Fedi-produced bop.

Two years after first teasing music lovers with ‘Lean on my Body,’ GRAMMY-winning superstar Lil Nas X has finally given his dedicated fans a full listen to the banging track.

“You know I love you, so I say this s–t with love/ But please tell your fans they need to shut the f–k up/ I’m doin’ real s–t, some never-worry-’bout-a-bill s–t/ Some build a house on the hill, s–t/ The money’s gravy, it’s coming crazy,” he raps on the bass-buoyed bop before saying, “My big sis just had another baby, popped ’em out the labia/ My other nephew sittin’ in the class with a broken knuckle/ He had to beat a ni–a ass for talkin’ ’bout his uncle.”

The braggadocious track is the latest in a string of Soundcloud exclusives LNX has dropped in preparation for the release of ‘Nasarati 2’ – the conceptual follow-up to his 2018 self-released debut mixtape ‘Nasarati.’

As the backlash for his latest single, ‘J Christ,’ rages on, rapper-singer Lil Nas X took to the ‘On Purpose‘ podcast recently to dish on the fallout and the impact it’s made on him personally and professionally.

Following the modest opening of his latest single, the controversial ‘J Christ,’ rapper-singer Lil Nas X is already moving on to the next with its successor: ‘Where Do We Go Now?’

Produced by Omer Fedi (like ‘J Christ’ before it), ‘Now’ is seeing its Friday (January 26) release coincide with the unveiling of ‘Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero’ – the January 27-due HBO documentary that chronicles first headlining tour, rapid rise to fame, challenges of being an openly gay artist, and more.

“So where do we go now? / We’ve seen everything we had to see / We figured it out, my love / So where are we goin,” he asks in the new tune’s chorus.

Having watched the hoopla around the respective music videos for ‘Montero‘ era singles ‘Call Me By Your Name,’ ‘Industry Baby,’ and ‘That’s What I Want’ help hoist them to top 10 debuts on the Billboard Hot 100, Lil Nas X is no stranger to utilizing the power of visuals to help yield a hit.

That controversial formula didn’t exactly wield the desired results when employed for his most recent release ‘J Christ‘ – a jaw-dropping visual filled with sacrilegious imagery including depictions of LNX being crucified like Jesus and playing basketball with Satan.

Quickly going back to the drawing board, the GRAMMY winner is already moving on to the polarizing tune’s follow-up.

As reported, Nas issued an apology today (January 15), expressing regret for any offense that aspects of the roll-out may have caused his Christian fans.
