After recently saddling up with Lil Nas X on a remix of Old Town Road, 12-year-old YouTube star Mason Ramsey is ready with his own EP. On Twang, a five-song release, Ramsey further shows off his love for country music.
The release includes the title track, Twang, a previously released song with its own school-set music video that features the line She loves me for my twang. It also includes Puddle of Love, Ramseys first time being credited as a songwriter.

Ramsey, known as Lil Hank Williams, arrived in the spotlight last year after a video of him singing Williams Lovesick Blues in a Southern Illinois Walmart went viral. Hes since signed with Big Loud Entertainment in partnership with Atlantic Records, who released the new EP, and has collaborated with several other artists, including Little Nas X. Ramsey even opened for Florida Georgia Line and Chris Lane on tour last December before heading out on his own headlining run, the Hows Your Girl & Hows Your Family Tour in April. Hell return to the road in October. Tickets are on sale now.
Were not really in the business of signing social media stars to record deals, Seth England, who runs Big Loud Entertainment, told Rolling Stone last year. Were in the business of signing artist that we think can have a long-term career.
