To know that we find the guitar in practically all his titles. During his adolescence, he writes several songs.

Now that you know everything about Post Malone, I'll explain why he is so successful around the world.

"Post Malone is a young rapper (27 years) who knows how to combine all types of music:
rap, country, rock, pop...
We can see him in many of his songs like "Go Flex", "Circles", "Sunflower"...
Post Malone who is at the base a rapper knew how to attract a public liking all type of music.
In his albums, he has both real raps, but also music that are not of the register of a simple rapper, his vocal technique is very broad.
He manages to find the rhythms and sounds that catch our ear, as well as his incredible voice, a little hoarse, which I think does a great part of the job.
And finally, he manages to surround himself well, with a very good record company and great directors who all make clips of great quality that are not found in all the big stars of music.

Like many of his fans, I find him friendly, despite the fact that he is a strong defender of smoking and drinking, he always seems to be smiling and close to his fans. He doesn't take himself too seriously."

And his success is visible because he has over 25 million subscribers and over 13.5 billion views on Youtube!
