Lil Nas X is on a relentless grind, rolling out fresh music and keeping the anticipation high as he gears up for the release of “HOTBOX” on March 14. Before the track drops, the hitmaker has been flooding the internet with new material, including “BIG DUMMY!” and “SWISH,” both of which arrived this week as part of his upcoming Dreamboy project.
Coming fresh off the heels of Dreamboy, “BIG DUMMY!” is classic Lil Nas X; sharp, fearless, and packed with that unmistakable attitude that made him a star. He wastes no time reminding everyone exactly who he is, spitting: “I’m back! I’m still that bitch, I’m still that ngga.” The confidence is undeniable, the delivery razor-sharp, and the energy electric.
Adding even more fuel to the fire, he also dropped “SWISH,” a track that takes a more introspective route. Over an ambient beat, Nas reflects on his evolution, crooning, “I walk different these days/ I talk different these days.” The lyrics paint a picture of growth and his commitment to pushing forward. “I’m flippin’ scripts and turnin’ the page,” he sings, reinforcing the mantra that he’s stepping into a new era.
With his new single “HOTBOX” on the way, all of these releases seem to be leading up to something bigger. Last month, Lil Nas X teased the track on X, posting a video of himself dancing along to the song. His website declares, “It’s Hotbox Season,” with pre-save links promising “surprises” for those who sign up.
Dreamboy is shaping up to be the next major chapter for Lil Nas X, following his 2021 debut album Montero. While there’s no official release date yet for the full project, he’s been actively teasing it across social media. In addition to “BIG DUMMY!,” “SWISH,” and “HOTBOX,” he’s been on a steady rollout, previously dropping “Light Again” and “Need Dat Boy” in November 2024, along with collaborations like “He Knows” with Camila Cabello and “Tennessee” with Kevin Abstract.
With this level of output, Lil Nas X is making it clear that he’s fully in album mode.
