Post Malone and Zach Top don’t exactly have much in common, especially appearance-wise. Unless the latter is hiding a bunch of tattoos somewhere, at least. Zach Top has been making waves for reviving traditional country music. Meanwhile, Post Malone famously converted to country-pop stardom with his recent country album.

Sometimes, opposites attract… though we wouldn’t exactly call these two opposites. Top and Malone have the same passion for country music in slightly different forms, and they recently collaborated on an excellent performance of Vince Gill’s famous 1992 country hit “Don’t Let Our Love Start Slippin’ Away”.
Malone is no stranger to a solid cover of a classic country song, considering he’s delivered renditions of songs by Hank Williams and others. Top, obviously, is as connected to the classics as anyone. He’s covered “Sold” by John Michael Montgomery and “Mama Tried” by Merle Haggard alongside Riley Green.

Yesterday, the two country stars decided to surprise a crowd with an excellent team-up during Wild Horses Festival in San Diego, California. Red solo cups in hand, the two sang their hearts out and sounded absolutely incredible together. You can watch a fan clip of the performance below:
Outside of the live collab, neotraditional trailblazer Top has even joked about how the duo are considered “rising stars” in the world of country music, along with a lukewarm joke about Beyonce.
“Me and Post Malone, bringing country back…” said Top in a recent video clip. “Me, him and Beyonce.”
It would honestly be awesome to hear more 90s classic country covers from these two. Malone even covered “I Never Lie” by Top recently at Flora-Bama, so we wouldn’t be surprised if more collaborations were on the way.
So, what have these two been up to separately? Malone dropped F-1 Trillion earlier this year and will be touring mostly non-stop through 2025 for the Big Ass Stadium Tour. Top also dropped his debut album, Cold Beer & Country Music, earlier in 2024. Top will tour extensively through 2025 as well.
