We know country and hip-hop are their own genres, but sometimes the crossover makes for great results. Both genres are deeply rooted in history and storytelling in their own way. But, what happens when an artist from each genre decides to cross over and make a hip-hop, country twang that everyone loves?
Over the years, we have seen some of the biggest country and hip-hop stars link up to produce a fusion hit between both genres. From Nelly collaborating with everyone to Beyonce and Snoop Dogg joining Willie Nelson and The Chicks.
Although there used to be a bold line to separate artists from other genres, we have seen what can happen when the lines get blurred and a crossover blows up into a hit. So, don’t be afraid to listen to other genres because sometimes the crossovers will introduce an artist to an entirely new audience.
This year, Morgan Wallen joined rapper Moneybagg Yo for his song, Whiskey Whiskey. This allowed country artists to learn about a rapper they may have never heard of and rap fans to learn about a country artist they may not have known about. The collaborations are good when they’re done right. Check out 5 of the best country and hip-hop collaborations we’ve seen in the last few years and tell us what you think!
