After starting the year on a sour note, Morgan Wallen is ending 2021 on the type of high few could have foreseen.

Back in February, the Country music star saw his career all-but-canceled after a clip of him using the N-Word went viral.

In the immediate aftermath, his music was pulled from the radio, award nominations were rescinded, his management pact dissolved, and his record deal was deemed “indefinitely suspended.”

Still, in a shock to some (and perhaps not others), support for Wallen was immense and he eventually found his way back onto the airwaves.

In a unique turn, not only has he been embraced by Country formats, he hit #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop tally with Lil Durk collaboration ‘Broadway Girl.’

And while Wallen’s dive into Hip-Hop took many by surprise, the star has revealed that it’s actually well-aligned with his personal musical palette.
