Post Malone and Billy Strings teamed up for a cover of Johnny Cash’s hit song, “Cocaine Blues,” at Strings’ show in Southern California in Orange County, and fans are loving it.
But perhaps no one loved the collab more than the pop star Malone, who said, as he walked on stage with a cigarette and a beer: โBilly Strings is the best to ever fucking do it.”

Malone and Strings have been (public) pals ever since Strings put up an Instagram post in 2020, which read, “Redneck shit with my boy @postmalone #fuckaroundandfindout๐ฅ ( ๐ธ @adamdegross ).”
And in a more recent IG post, Strings thanked Malone for the Cash collab, saying: “Thanks @postmalone .. love youโค๏ธ // ๐ธ @jesse_faatz.”
Strings, who is currently on a spring tour, has stops ahead along various west coast U.S. cities, including Las Vegas for a sold-out show at the Brooklyn Bowl. He has more U.S. and European dates coming up, as well. See the full list of dates below.
And Malone has an anticipated new album, twelve carat toothache, set to be released soon. Speaking with Billboard a few months ago, Malone said heโs been stressing the new LP, which will be the follow-up to his 2019 record Hollywoodโs Bleeding.
The new record will clock in at around 45 minutes, which would be his shortest to date. But, Malone says, thatโs just where heโs at.
โTrying to shove 20 to 25 songs, it doesnโt work. Talking to the label [itโs like], โOh, if you have less songs, youโre not going to stream as much,โ but the whole thing is that you donโt want to compromise your art and your gut vibe on anything,โ he told Billboard.
Check out the duo perform together below.
