Lil Nas X is preparing his own Nazareth 2 mixtape and has been releasing pieces of music taking the temperature of the direction fans want to see him go.
Of the latest music teaser came via TikTok on Wednesday (March 13) where he tapped the fiery side of rap with the slick unreleased track. The 24-year-old previewed the clip in what appears to be an airport terminal with visitors walking around holding their luggage.
“My big sister just had another baby, she blew it off her lips/ My other nephew is sitting in class with a broken nephew, he had to beat an ass who talked about his uncle/ Listen now, I'm not saying I'm sorry that sh –/ F— this, I say I forgive this sh–,” Nas X raps.
Fans seemed to be receptive to the song as one person shouted: “Lil cooked us in this one ngl.”
Over the weekend, Lil Nas X admitted he had a hard time choosing songs due to fears of perception and success, so he laid out a handful of clips for fans to pick their favorites.
“I've been collecting music for years, I hate my relationship with the fear of my songs not doing well and the perception. I wish I could make music and not give af,” she wrote on Instagram.
One of the viral clips – tentatively titled “Trust Me” – saw Nas X not expecting to describe sexual encounters growing up, prompting him to issue a statement claiming he's not doing this to shock.
“I hate to explain myself every time I do anything, but this is not for shock. This is me telling my story, being uncomfortable with it doesn't make it a gimmick,” she wrote on X earlier this week. “This is for me and my fans screw everyone else.”
The “Old Town Road” artist kicked off the year with his polarizing single “J Christ” in January, which peaked at No. 69 on the Billboard Hot 100.
