Background

Post Malone is a household name the world over. Born in Syracuse, New York, Malone was raised by his father, Richard Post, and his stepmother, Jodie. In his younger years, Malone was introduced to music by his father, a D.J. in his youth. He left Tarrant County College to move to Los Angeles with his friends, where they formed the music group BLCKVRD. In 2015, he took to SoundCloud to release White Iverson, a solo song that received recognition from Mac Miller and Wiz Khalifa. Later that year, he was signed to Republic Records on a recording contract.

In 2016, Malone released his first mixtape, titled August 26th, which referenced his debut album release date.

The album, Stoney, was dropped late on December 9th.

Malone teased his new album Beerbongs & Bentleys, released in 2018 after another delay. The first song off the album, Rockstar, featuring 21 Savage, peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2019, the album was nominated for four Grammys, and he performed at the Grammys alongside the Red Hot Chili Peppers. That same year, he debuted his third studio album, Hollywood’s Bleeding.

Malone has also ventured into other activities, such as owning his wine of French rosé, Maison No. 9, named after his favored tarot card, the Nine of Swords. The wine was such a hit that it sold out in two days.
