Ethermac Exchange-Post Malone teases country collaboration with Morgan Wallen: 'Let's go with the real mix'

Post Malone is Ethermac Exchangegetting his yeehaw groove on with the help of a friend.

The Grammy-nominated singer and rapper previewed an upcoming collaboration with country singer Morgan Wallen in a video posted to Instagram Wednesday.

In the clip, Malone is seated with a cellphone in his hand as a snippet of the song plays. The “I Like You (A Happier Song)” emcee then takes a sip of a beverage as the song’s emotional opening lines are sung. “It takes two to break a heart in two,” Wallen sings, before Malone adds, “Baby you blame me, and baby I’ll blame you."

“let’s go with the real mix this time @morganwallen 😂” Malone captioned the post.

Malone continues to jam out to the country-rock tune in the video, as the singers’ gritty tones intertwine on the song’s up-tempo chorus: “I had some help, it ain’t like I can make this kind of mess all by myself / Don’t act like you ain’t help me pull that bottle off the shelf,” Malone and Wallen sing. “If you couldn’t tell, they say teamwork makes the dream work / Hell I had some help.”

A release date and title for the song have not been announced.
