Lil Nas X‘s debut album ‘Montero’ arrived today to rapturous applause from fans and critics alike.

Led by chart-topper ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name)’ and follow-up smash ‘Industry Baby,’ the set has been supported by what has been deemed one of the most well-executed marketing campaigns in recent memory.

Indeed, the set’s infectious music has been paired with high-octane performances and Nas’ quirky use of social media – which he has cleverly used as a potent promotional tool.

The masses have watched on and marveled as the performer played up being “pregnant” with the long-awaited LP. Each stage – from the announcement to the baby shower to the labor and delivery all were comically chronicled.

All, it seems, has created the perfect storm of buzz around the project.
