January 20, 2021 @ To that end, Kidd G and “Dirt Road” did see a small blip on the charts, eeking in at #40 on the consumption based Billboard Hot Country Songs chart recently, but still well outside the level that saw artists like Kane Brown, Priscilla Block, Breland, or even Lil Nas X emerge from obscurity via social media buzz. 11:36 am.

Colter 8:20 pm, Travis At least expose your kids to the real stuff even if they end up hating it. But then came “Dirt Road,” a mopey but peppy breakup ballad with clear country intentions: “I need another beer, don’t want my vision clear/Small town, so I see you everywhere.”, “I wondered, If I did make a country song, how would it go?” Kidd G said of his pivot.
