In an Instagram live stream on April 23, Post Malone got real. The rapper shared he’s been working hard and wanted to share some new music with fans. ​​”I would love to play this entire record and I just want to say hey to everybody that’s hanging out.”

He continued, “honestly, I’ve been working so f***ing hard, and I would love to play y’all a couple more records if y’all got time. We’ve got a lot of cool stuff going on.” Malone played a clip from a new song with The Kid Laroi called “Wasting Angels.” 

The song is “a celebration of life and a human spirit to be able to fight no matter what and just go with the punches and just say, at the end of the day, life is f***ing crazy and it’s a beautiful, beautiful gift that we’ve all been given.”

He called The Kid Laroi a “beautiful soul” and said he’s “so grateful that he was a part of this record.”

I just wanna say it’s OK to reach out to people and it’s OK to take that time for yourself.”
