This week on Catch Up, inspired by the wild success of Lil Nas X’s ‘Old Town Road’, James and Jordan investigate the “yeehaw agenda” and look back on the history of “country-rap”.
The two discuss the ‘Old Town Road’ Billboard controversy, and then dive deep on country-rap canon, including notable songs from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Nelly, Bubba Sparxxx, Outkast, Young Thug, and more.
Catch Up is hosted by Jordan Sowunmi and James Rathbone, and is produced by Kyle Fulton. Make sure to follow Catch Up on Instagram, and feel free to get in touch with us at [email protected].
