Post Malone's transition from metalcore to pop and hip-hop-inspired music
Post Malone officially bounced off from the 2010 rejection, as he created his first music group called 'BLCKVRD' in his 20s. Co-created with his longtime friend, Jason Probst, the group acted as the catalyst for the singer's transition from metalcore to hip-hop-inspired music.
As the singer continued creating music with the group, he developed connections with the record producers Sauce Lord Rich and Rex Kudo. The LA-based producer, Rex Kudo, later produced Malone's debut single White Iverson.
The 2015 single kickstarted Post Malone's career in the hip-hop music industry, as he continued to amass fame with his 2016 debut album, Stoney. The singer went on a hit streak with the albums - Beerbongs & Bentleys (2018), Hollywood's Bleeding (2019), Twelve Carat Toothache (2022), and Austin (2023).

While his music continues to span through many genres, Post Malone prefers not to categorize it and spoke to GQ about the same in January 2018.
“It should just be music, you know? Because I’ve met so many people that’ll say, ‘I listen to everything except for this, or this,’ you know? And I think that’s stupid. If you like it, you should listen to it.”
Malone will release F-1 Trillion next month, on August 16.The lead single, I Had Some Help, released this summer, on May 10. It was followed by the second single, Pour Me a Drink, which was released on June 21. The album will feature guest appearances from country music singers Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, Chris Stapleton, and Blake Shelton.
As of this writing, Post Malone is not linked with any metalcore projects. The singer's most recent performance in the metal and rock genre was in 2018. Malone shredded the guitar for a performance along with the rock band Aerosmith at the MTV Video Music Awards.
