Dallas rapper BigXthaPlug and Grapevine-raised musician Post Malone’s long-awaited country duet, “Cold,” comes out on Friday.
The two North Texas-bred artists were seen hanging in a dimly lit recording studio in a February Instagram post. Malone had dropped his 2024 country crossover project F-1 Trillion months before, while BigX was teasing his own foray into the genre.
It seemed a collaboration was imminent. But when BigX’s album I Hope You’re Happy came out in August, it featured several young Nashville stars, yet no song with Posty.
“I sat in the studio so many times with Post Malone,” BigX told Billboard in late August. “He just been busy nonstop.” BigX added that “you never know if there’s a deluxe coming out” with Malone and Morgan Wallen, whose schedule also didn’t align for the album. “So, can’t just hang it up just yet.”

Malone recently concluded his Big Ass Stadium Tour in support of F-1 Trillion, although he has a not-so-small halftime show next week at the Thanksgiving game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
The Grapevine High School alum posted a photo on Instagram of him and BigX sitting around a bonfire with a snippet of the song “Cold.”
A clip also circulated on social media, apparently showing the artists filming a music video, which BigX reposted to his Instagram story.
