Warner Music Nashville has teamed with Atlantic Records and Bad Realm Records to bring singer-songwriter Breland to the WMN roster.
 
Breland is in the top 15 on Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart with his feature on Dierks Bentley’s single “Beers on Me” with HARDY, and will debut his new song “Praise The Lord” at the 57th annual ACM Awards on March 7. Breland is the second country artist to be recognized as part of Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Artist program. He’s on the road opening shows for Russell Dickerson.
 
He becomes the latest in a long line of acts that pop divisions are partnering with their Nashville counterparts to work and vice versa. WMN and Warner Records’ pop division already work together on Gabby Barrett and Dan + Shay to garner pop airplay on certain releases. Universal Music Group Nashville and UMG’s Interscope partnered on Kacey Musgraves’ latest album, Star-crossed. Sony Music Nashville has teamed with RCA Records to promote several acts including Tenille Townes and Kane Brown, who has released songs with several acts on RCA’s pop roster, including Khalid and H.E.R.
 
In 2019, Breland earned a viral hit with “My Truck,” which gained traction on TikTok and reached No. 1 on Spotify’s Global Viral 50 chart. The song also crossed over onto Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart and was certified platinum by the RIAA. Since releasing “My Truck,” thanks to his musical blend of country, pop, trap, hip-hop and bluegrass elements, Breland has become an in-demand collaborator, working with artists including Keith Urban (“Throw It Back” “Out The Cage”), Sam Hunt (a remix of “My Truck”), Mickey Guyton (“Cross Country”), Nelly and Blanco Brown (“High Horse”), Tiera (“Miles”), Gary LeVox (“All I See”) and more.
 
In 2020, Breland released both a self-titled project, as well as the two-song EP Rage and Sorrow in recognition of Juneteenth. Last year, he inked a publishing deal with Reservoir, made his Grand Ole Opry debut performance, and opened for Deana Carter at the Ryman Auditorium.
 
“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Warner Music Nashville on the next phase of Breland’s meteoric career,” said president of Atlantic Records West Coast, Kevin Weaver, in a statement. “It’s a privilege for Atlantic and Breland to join forces with our sister company in Nashville as we continue to introduce Breland’s unique cross-country sound and style around the globe.”
 
“It’s been so exciting to watch him change the game in this genre and we’re beyond proud to join forces with him as he continues to break down barriers for the next generation of Nashville artists,” added Warner Music Nashville chairman/CEO John Esposito.

NBA YoungBoy has faced several hardships in recent years. Along with serving time behind bars, the rapper has also dealt with mental health challenges linked to the painful experiences in his life.

His music has often given listeners insight into that pain. During a recent appearance with Funny Marco on Open Thoughts, YoungBoy opened up even further about what he has been going through.

During the conversation, YoungBoy revealed that he no longer plans to live in the United States. He confirmed that he currently resides in South Korea. Although he did not share why he chose that country, his comments suggest he is ready to leave his life in America behind.

NBA YoungBoy Has Left America Behind

Funny Marco asked YoungBoy whether he might ever move back to the United States. The rapper responded with “never in life,” though he admitted that he could return for a visit someday.

Before relocating, YoungBoy lived on a ranch in Utah, where local residents had gradually started becoming more comfortable with him. His new home in South Korea now places him in a completely different cultural environment.

Adjusting to such a major change may not be easy, but YoungBoy has shown his strength and appears confident about where he wants to live. After experiencing so much pain in the United States, he seemingly feels more comfortable keeping his distance.

The move also comes as he deals with serious health concerns involving his heart. The condition remains an ongoing concern, and we hope the artist receives the support he needs as he continues facing this difficult medical situation.
