Montero Lamar Hill, known professionally as Lil Nas X, is an American singer, rapper, and songwriter. He came to international attention for his breakout country rap single "Old Town Road", which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. After 13 weeks at the top, it became the longest-running hip-hop song on the chart. [1]
Far from being a flash in the pan, Lil Nas X continued to produce hits along with incredible music videos and iconic fashion moments. His first album Montero was released in 2021 to great fanfare and earned a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year.
