Shaboozey Wants to Collab With Future: 'That Would Be Awesome'

Shaboozey would love to collaborate with Future sometime soon.

The country music star, who blew up from his smash hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” last year, named the rapper as one of the top collaborators on his bucket list in a recent interview with Holler.

“Future. That would be awesome," Shaboozey said. “I really think a lot of the Atlanta artists grew up in the same neighborhoods, the same towns, the same places that a lot of the country artists are in.

“I'm definitely seeing a lot of hip-hop artists embrace their country roots, because they have them, too,” he continued. “And tonally, too, you put an acoustic guitar with certain chords behind a song, and sometimes it's a country song. The stories are the same, and the messaging is sometimes the same.”

Shaboozey also spoke about whether he’s working on any new music, teasing that there could be something coming soon.

“There's no album currently in the works, but there's definitely something that we're going to give the fans soon,” Shaboozey said. “With how successful and how iconic the last project was, I think it's only right that we give that a little bit of something else, and add a little something to that.”

Last month, Shaboozey spoke to Yahoo Entertainment about what it feels like to be at the center of country’s evolution.

“It shows how much music is an ever-evolving thing,” he said at the time. “When I started on my path, I realized a lot of hip-hop and country artists grew up in the same places. Lainey Wilson is from the same state as Lil Wayne. Teddy Swims, Luke Bryan, and Quavo are all from the same area. We all have the same roots. 

“Beyoncé and Linda Martell say in their song 'Spaghettii' that 'genres are a funny little thing,'” Shaboozey continued. “I want to highlight how those genres of music are actually similar. We’re more alike than we are different.”
