Montero

📖 About this album

Lil Nas X's debut full-length — a bold, unapologetic queer statement. It blends rap, pop and country with deliberate provocation and powerful LGBTQ+ imagery.

📝 Our review

Montero was the confirmation that Lil Nas X could build something beyond the viral moment. The album—brief, efficient—blends pop, country, hip-hop and R&B with calculated insolence. "Industry Baby" with Jack Harlow and "Call Me by Your Name" are its highest points. The queer identity is not decoration but the album's axis, something that in mainstream rap remains a declaration. An artist who uses provocation as a real tool, not empty marketing.
