You’ve never heard “Old Town Road” performed like this before.<\/p>\n

Lil Nas X<\/strong> and Billy Ray Cyrus<\/a><\/strong> gave music fans an epic surprise on Thursday when they dropped a remix of the viral song.<\/p>\n

They also shared photos and videos of themselves recording the hit.<\/p>\n

“BILLY F–KIN RAY!!!” Lil Nas X captioned one photo. <\/p>\n

Lil Nas X released the original version back in December, and the tune’s rap and country combination won fans over. In fact, Rolling Stone<\/em> reported it was on Billboard’s cross-genre Hot 100 chart, the Country Songs chart and the Hot R&B\/Hip-Hop Songs chart at the same time. However, Billboard told the magazine<\/a> that, upon further review, the artist’s song did not merit inclusion on its country chart\u2014causing a bit of controversy.<\/p>\n

“I believe whenever you’re trying something new, it’s always going to get some kind of bad reception,” the 19-year-old star told Time<\/em><\/a>. “For example, when rap started, or when rock and roll began. But with country trap, I in no way want to take credit for that. I believe Young Thug would be one of the biggest pioneers in that.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

However, it looks like Cyrus is standing behind him.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Been watching everything going on with OTR,” Cyrus wrote on Instagram yesterday. “When I got thrown off the charts, Waylon Jennings said to me ‘Take this as a compliment’ means you’re doing something great! Only Outlaws are outlawed. Welcome to the club!”<\/p>\n
