Lil Nas X launched his grand comeback earlier this year with “J Christ,” an inherently divisive single that sparked a conversation about his consistent use of controversy as a framing device for his music. The song itself quietly fizzled out, but behind the scenes, the rapper was plotting his pivot. On Wednesday, Lil Nas X dropped the new single “Right There” on SoundCloud as a taste of his forthcoming mixtape Nasarati 2.

The Atlanta rapper’s previous album, 2020’s Whole Lotta Red, was shrouded in years of speculation and delays that added to Carti’s mysterious lore among his rabidly online fanbase. His latest effort so far feels like a throwback to a different time in hip-hop, both in style and apparent promotional schedule.

“Ask God why, I didn’t get an answer/Why I lose my brother to bullets/Why I lose my grandma to cancer,” Offset harmonizes on “Say My Grace.” Few could have imagined that the Atlanta artist who emerged as one-third of Migos a decade ago with “Versace,” reintroducing the concept of a rap group to the Zoomer generation, would settle uncomfortably into the role of husband to pop icon Cardi B, and become a target of internet gossip so pernicious that the phrase “Offset cheating” elicits thousands of Google search results dating back years.
