Southeast Appalachian, Ohio’s own Cowboy Killer is taking genre-bending to a new level. Country, Rock, and Hip-Hop have met up at intersections before, but never quite like this with his single ‘Hopscotch’. The lyricism is impressive, Cowboy Killer’s multi-faceted skillset on full display. The crisp production alongside the fun music video makes for a cohesive listening and viewing experience. The artist is working with a formula that has the potential to be immensely successful.
