Shaboozey Describes a Collaboration With Future as ‘Awesome’

Shaboozey has a dream collaborator at the top of his list.

The “Bar Song (Tipsy)” superstar sat down with Holler recently, where he revealed that he wants to work with Future. “That would be awesome,” he 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.”

He added, “I’m definitely seeing a lot of hip-hop artists embrace their country roots, because they have them too. 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.”

The team-up could be a great next step for Shaboozey, who has enjoyed skyrocketed success in the last year. The singer was nominated nominated for five Grammy Awards earlier this year thanks to his Beyoncé collaboration “SPAGHETTII” and his breakthrough hit, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which notched a record-tying 19th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in November. He’s also scheduled to perform at both Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals in the spring.

“A Bar Song” also recently notched its 35th week atop Billboard’s multi-metric Hot Country Songs chart, marking the longest-leading title by a single act since Hot Country Songs became the genre’s singular songs ranking in 1958. Overall, only Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line’s duet “Meant to Be” has led longer: for 50 weeks, beginning in December 2017.
