Lil Nas X Thanks Frank Ocean And Tyler The Creator For Making It ‘Easier For Me To Be Where I Am’

The singer also showed love to Billie Eilish and expressed his hope to influence other queer artists during the interview with Zane Lowe. …

In just a matter of two years, Lil Nas X has become one of music’s most popular names, thanks to the smash hit “Old Town Road.” The track has currently sold 13X Platinum, and it holds the record for the longest streak at No. 1 on the Billboard singles chart, racking in nineteen weeks. The singer is rolling out his next project, but before it arrives, he took a moment to honor two artists who helped ensure he felt like he belonged in the music world.

During a sit down with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Lil Nas X thanked Frank Ocean and Tyler The Creator for allowing him to express his true self to the world. “I think artists like Frank in general and, like, Tyler and whatever, they made it easier for me to be where I am, comfortably,” he said, adding that he hopes his coming out will push other queer artists to do the same.

I was just getting signs, “OK. It’s time we do this thing.” Because it’s like I’m already moving forward and I’m becoming more free with everything I do, so let’s take this to the next level and do this. Because I mean, it was either going to be that or what? Pretend this for the rest of my entire life? … And also being one of those people that was like, “OK, I want to make room for you now.” So everybody who’s coming behind me, “OK. This is going to be cool. It’s going to work out fine.” Yeah. But that’s another reason why I knew that I had to do it. Because the day before I was like, “Damn, should I really do this? Is this what…” And I’m like, “No, this is definitely what I should do.” Especially given my platform, where I am, the communities that I stand in between. It’s like little shit like this shouldn’t be a problem

He also showed love to Billie Eilish, calling her “f*cking amazing and talented,” saying she does “whatever the f*ck she wants” without “apologizing for it.”

Mister Co. has returned to light up 2025 with their newest release, “Can’t Stop The Funk.” Out March 21st, this irresistible jam is brought to you by Australian homies Jonathan Bufalino and Free Parking, melding fat doses of funk, soul, and groove.

“Can’t Stop The Funk” hits you with the first bassline and never lets go. Funk-driven guitar riffs lock into a pulsing rhythm section, and infectious brass accents and velvety-smooth vocals push the energy even higher. It’s the kind of track that doesn’t just get you moving, it demands movement. Whether you’re a longtime funk fan or someone who loves a good high-energy anthem, Mister Co. will hit your ears with sounds that feel fresh but also hint at the nostalgia of that golden era of groove, all mixed with slick, modern production.

The single is only the beginning. “Can’t Stop The Funk” is a taster of Mister Co.’s upcoming EP, bringing much more of this genre-defying splendour. And for anyone who feels they can’t get enough, the pair is doubling down on the experience, doing so with a high-octane live performance music video as well as a behind-the-scenes documentary, exclusive to subscribers, giving fans a front-row seat to the creative magic behind the track.

Mister Co. has a knack for powering up crowds with their lively sets, and Can’t Stop The Funk proves that they can convert that visceral charge into a recorded studio experience. It’s a song meant to be felt as much as it is listened to, ideal for dance floors and festival stages, for any place where good vibes are necessary.

As 2025 approaches, Mister Co. shows that the funk is here to stay. With “Can’t Stop The Funk”, they’re signalling the start of what’s looking to be their biggest year yet. It’s as if you’ve considered turning the volume down on this one.

Tony G. Copeland Serenades the Soul with “My Number One Lady”

Love songs often seem to drip with timeless appeal, and Tony G. Copeland’s latest single, “My Number One Lady”, is just such an example. This heartstring song is a fair homage to love, gratitude, and unyielding support, and it will be out on his album All Night Suga.

Written initially as a love letter to his wife, Angela, “Number One Lady” went on to do something of a disservice: it reinvigorated a genre that the masses had long forgotten. With its soothing melodies, luscious instrumentation, and soul-surging lyrics, the song speaks to every woman loved by a man who knows and loves her for her true self.

From the opening note, “My Number One Lady” envelops listeners in a hug, buoyed by Tony G. Copeland’s skillful production and the song’s full sonic textures. Co-produced by Reginald Halsey Jr. and featuring Brock Mack’s deep, sonorous bass lines, the track unfolds like a soulful groove that manifests as equal parts R&B classic and contemporary polish. Their talents blend seamlessly into a sound that feels at once an homage and completely new.

Whether you’re two-stepping in the kitchen with your partner or just thinking back on the beauty of unconditional love, this track will be a home run for your heart.

This single, released under EASY ENTERTAINMENT LLC, showcases an artist committed to quality music and meaningful storytelling. Courtesy of Danay Records and Teejaydees Productions, the song previews All Night Suga, a lustrous sound project due early this summer, which promises to be equally evocative of soul and spirit.

“My Number One Lady” is an experience, a moment of appreciation, all packaged in musical form. Tony G. Copeland has given us the timeliest, the love that is all raw.
