Lil Nas X Has Been ‘Hoarding Music For Years,’ Asks Fans to Rate Seven Previously Unreleased Snippets

Lil Nas X said he's been 'hoarding music for years' and posted snippets of seven unreleased songs, asking fans to rate their favorite ones.

Lil Nas X told fans over the weekend that he is sitting on a pile of unreleased material before previewing an eclectic handful of the unnamed tracks in his backlog. The first offering, the slow grinder “Trust Me,” appeared to be a autobiographical tale of middle school life, with Nas rapping, “Cap and gown, I graduated and got out of town/ Went to colleg where I had no one around/ Grindr sessions sexing with faceless accounts,” over a spare, bass-heavy beat. A song that has been widely leaked, the hard-hitting “Down Souf Hoes,” was also included in the dump, as was the straight ahead rhyme “Lean on My Body” — performed shirtless while walking on a treadmill while playing keyboard — and the propulsive pop rap “Batty Boy.”
