❤ ❤
Thank you so much Posty for all the hard work you put to make these beautiful & soul soul southing music for all of us.
Love u & wish all the blessings for you.
Wonderfull interview. I haven't experienced your situation but I get the feeling of anxiety. I can't fucking imagine how you deal with everything thrown at you, I hella respect that and I hope your good! The songs that are produced in your name are little escapes from reality. They always sound so lovely to me. Imma listen the shit outta the new album, excited to see what's in store!
Bro, glad to see you have found a good balance in life. Stay positive and keep putting out dank jams!
Big fan from india sir
Is it strange that I love this guy and who he is as a person, he makes my favorite music ever. I am a 70 year old great grandmother by the way!!
u got a good taste of music grandma
62 years old and I loooove him
I just adore him in every way! He’s sweet, humble and so funny! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

old cake! can you smell your coffin?
Post is such an outgoing and chill guy, I live in Utah and people see him in places like target or even the most random places by himself. Some girls even saw him on state street in a WRX. Guy is humble and genuine. We must protect him at all cost 🙏🏽
Send him back to cali.
Hell yeah! I totally agree! Thank you for your comment! 😀 Protect Posty!!❤️
@@thatdude3977 buddy would rather live lone wolf in a desert than live in Cali full time I’d bet
@@besiedju i can't live in a tent or with so many rats. Id end up killing so many idiots in the first month because they have no respect for anything
@@thatdude3977 Post was born in Texas, he is a texan at heart.
Post Malone is such a nice, genuine and honest guy, and he's one of the few celebrities who actually deserve to be rich and famous. Congratulations Posty
His songs have helped me a lot to calm me down when i'm anxious or overthinking. Also he seems like such a sweet, wholesome dude. Thank you Posty !
I couldnt agree more, he's like super nerdy gamer with humble attitude, just a sweetheart with great humor ❤️.
Same, he is an absolute legend, and a pure good human.
Same he calmed me throughout the whole pandemic but UA-cam kept sending me adds for depression, anxiety and drug and alcohol adds but nope I wasn’t depressed or abusing alcohol or drugs but nice of them to worry about me♥️🤘🏾😂
Couldn’t agree more
Cap
I’m a grown ass woman with kids his age & I absolutely adore this young man! Stay sweet & humble Posty ❤️ The world needs you more than you know
@TheSusandvine 💯 to everything you just said!
I hope he knows how many people he has helped through very hard times. My 15 granddaughter was going through some very traumatic situations a little over a year ago… part of what got her through everything was Posty’s music. Our whole family is so grateful for him. (Happy ending… she is doing great, and recently got to meet him. Kinda felt like things came full circle for her at that point, although she was so star-struck she couldn’t even speak to tell him that 😅)
He seems like a really sweet kid. His father did a great job raising him.
Sweet? Go watch his old twitch streams 💀
@@Sausager haha thats jus him getting zoned into the game n havin fun
Really?
@@Sausager He used to be on all sorts of UA-cam videos and Twitch streams early 2010s playing his guitar and stuff. He was always chill and humble. He hung out with a bunch of RuneScape and MineCraft people
Posty Cooped up reverb + rain ( ua-cam.com/video/_eVxaE8E59M/v-deo.html )
I went to one of his concerts in 2019 and it was one of the most amazing environments I’ve ever been apart of. No fights or arguments, just peace and the love of all of us at one given places enjoying his music.
When you drop records with not one song that gets skipped that's an amazing gift you've given people because every song you've made has been incredible.
It’s funny to hear him say that because all 3 of his full length projects I have and will continue to listen fully through without skipping a single song. That is almost unheard of in todays music industry.
@@codygrant9066 no it’s not
@@codygrant9066 Exactly like they might go on shuffle but they never get skipped 😊 and I definitely agree he was slept on for a while but everyone hears him now.
This dude, is still grounded... He's not like all the other rappers. Mad respect!
He is more than a rapper
@@UBADD2 post Malone isn't a rapper though
@@jayybren not anymore he isn’t. He started out as such and evolved into a pop artist
@@Ayoo_Rich00 hes never been a rapper.
@Blake It in you're my soulmate
It's nice to hear him admit that he's anxious, because listening to his music always makes me feel confidence and it makes me think that I need to be a confident person in order to put out good music but it's actually okay to admit that you're anxious sometimes, or even a lot of the time
I just watched an interview with the kid Laroi earlier and he said he’s an anxious person too and always thinks worst case scenarios. It’s so odd to me bc I’ve struggled with anxiety for most of my life (36 now) and I always imagine people like Post and Laroi as confident performers. I like that artists are being more open about mental health and normalizing it now a days, it’s something that was never talked about when I was a teen.
I can tell you from experience, something I learned at rehab. We ALL bleed the same blood. Being famous doesn't give you a suit of armour. As a musician I also know that almost every other musician I've met had been one of the most troubled / kind humans. The same thing applies for rehab. Don't be so quick to judge the book by it's cover ( Not implying you are ). Some of the most kind / caring and compassionate people I've met in my life, were also the most terrifying looking.
We love you in Canada Posty. 2 years sober now bro ( December 22nd 2022 ) ... Sayin' one's too many, hundred isn't enough, alright, yeah.
One Day at a Time
🤙
@@foxz0mbie1 absolutely. I wasn’t implying they are stronger then humans, I just mean from my experience my anxiety doesn’t allow me to be in large groups. I have social anxiety really bad, when I was younger I couldn’t even enter the mall thru the food court bc I felt like everyone would look at me when I came in so I used the dept store entrances or smaller entrances. I couldn’t imagine being a musician and having anxiety bc I wouldn’t have the confidence or ability to go out in huge arenas and perform even if I knew I was a good artist haha, so I’m saying it amazes me that their passion for their music and performing is so strong they can even do that. Everyone’s anxiety is different and I think it’s healthy to see these celebrities be open about it bc it’s normal. It also shows teens and kids u can have anxiety but still be successful. You can still perform sold out shows, tour, etc. anxiety isn’t just being home alone with panic attacks. And congrats on your sobriety! I’ve got 12 years clean now and every day counts, they add up little by little until you blink and see years have gone by. And I agree, we all bleed the same blood. Drugs, mental health, illness….none of it discriminates, they can affect us all. I’ve seen some of the most ideal put together people have some of the worst addictions, people assume addiction only targets low class, poor people. But especially during the pain pill epidemic a decade ago here in the US, addiction hit so many white collar households. Stay at home moms were dr shopping and getting prescriptions. Some of the people in rehab who looked like they were in their worst, disheveled and not put together, they were the nicest most down to earth empathetic souls. But then I’d try to talk to one of the wealthy addicts who’s parents were paying for their 5th rehab and they didn’t care, was rude to staff, treated rehab as a joke. I do my very best to never judge someone by not just their outsides but also their personality. I don’t know what kind of day they’re having, what they’ve gone thru, I really try to get to know someone before I form my opinion. I treat all strangers with the same kindness I’d treat a friend. Mental health affects so many of us, I’m just glad celebrities are being more open so especially the younger crowd can see this and not feel so alone.
Lit🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@Sara-xk1ns Thanks for sharing your story. I know EXACTLY how you feel. Being a musician as well I use to throw up before every show. It never got " easier " ... I think we all need to share our stories like you and I just did. Because it shows others they are not alone. 12 years, thanks for the inspiration! Keep that momentum going fam! Sending love and positive vibes from Canada EH 😁
Dude, I’m a 64 year old grandma and I love your music.
Me toooo! He's got a heart of gold. I hope to be listening to his music for years to come. So talented in any genre he chooses, and also making his own. Hope he stays true to himself and can dodge the mental bullets that come with fame.
One thing I love the most is that Posty got out of LA for his own mental Health man. Utah’s beautiful and more and more people are understanding that it’s good with the Internet now to live and work where they want to because people owe it to themselves to seek happiness, so glad post did that
I live in utah and yes it’s quite breathtaking sometimes
@@nullzed1992 stunningly beautiful!
Utah Here!
@@dougmcintyre8039 i hope to go visit the state and maybe go skiing sometime. It's such a beautiful state. Virginian talking here.
i would never want to live there specifically because of the mormons
He helped me through the loss of my father. I was 40-something at the time, and somehow the only comfort that I found was in his music. Headphones on all night, listening to Post Malone. Will never forget it. He remains one of my favorite musicians and favorite people.
wish you the best
im so happy he moved there and how more relaxed and happy he seems , & seeing his dad comment on his son like that is beautiful x
He is one of the most down to earth humans in the business, in my opinion.
His house is amazing!! And I am so happy he's found himself more within looking in and moving away from LA.
Very cool human and artist. Much love and respect to him✌💜
So glad to know what he's been up to, enjoying his days in his own way, thanks to this.. NO other musician/artist like Post. His music is a big part of my life. Can't wait for new music from him!
I love post He always reminds us he's just as normal as everyone else with or without the fame. WE LOVE YOU POST!
absolutely love and respect that he stayed who he was after the fame
I’m a die hard fan of Austin since SoundCloud and it always makes me so happy to read through comments on videos of him and not see one person have anything negative (and only extremely positive) things to say about him. He’s truly an awesome dude.
how do you know he's awesome lol? r u personal friends with him? everyone tries to be good in the limelight.
listening to his first songs drop it was like " damn, this guy probably had some bad heartbreak!" And that helped me. Then I years later saw his face, and behind those tattoo's studio he's just one of us all and trying to help us get through stuff. What a dude.
Posts music has helped me through a lot of rough patches in my life. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for him.
I really cannot wait till his fourth album drops. His music has helped me get through so so much, from depression, anxiety, SA, self harm, and so much more. ❤️ bless him
Post looks so healthy & in a good space! Really glad he's been making us wait for this album, gonna make a big splash when it drops.
I love that he enjoys living in Utah and I know that many of the people here in Utah that have encountered him at stores & gas stations have said that he's incredibly sweet and never acts bothered to stop and chat or give an autograph & take a quick selfie.
I swear to god that I am so thankful for this guy. He is helping me with his music to go through my fucking depressions and anxiety,whenever Im sad angry or just a little happy than there's always a song from this talented artist for me to listen. I can not wait for your new album. Posty is such a good hearted man lucky women who's going to marry him one day ❤️❤️❤️
He's more relatable than i thought, honestly. Been listening to his music for a short while, but he has that spark of light most of us are looking for in these days.
I'm 67 and I love this man, even more so that he moved to SLC. Very caring and special human being.
he's so precious and genuine. we must protect him at all costs. love you posty
Post is one one them who really deserves it fr fr, such a humble down to earth guy
this guy is so unique i dont know what genre half his music is lol
Love this guy. There's something different about him and honestly, I'm drawn to that.
Let's be honest we all think a single day of hanging out with him would be so cool.
I remember seeing Post in 2015 here in Arizona, he opened up for Fetty Wap in a small venue and all my my friends did not wanna go, everyone thought he was a white dude trying to be black. Fast forward to Stoney coming out and EVERYONE was in love with him and he’s playing in stadiums! Great to see him grow as an artist
I'm absolutely obsessed with Post, he is so organic musically, living his truth in way that moves me, helps me to step back and look at myself from the inside. I absolutely love you Posty, thank you for your music
@postmalone is one of the greatest artists of our time. He is so genuine and he pours his heart into his music and performances 🖤 He has helped a lot of people with his music because so many of us can relate to the struggles of life he writes about. Thank you, Austin for being you 🙌🏼
Post is on top of my most listened artist list EVERY YEAR. For me the most amazong singer/songwriter right now. I love you post. You keep me up man
All of his songs are ghost writers
@@eddieshane4175 you become a billboard artist and then you can shit talk about others, ok?
@@eddieshane4175 even with his ghost writers you still wouldn’t break a thousand streams 🤣🤣😂 so that proves nothing and is also probably not entirely true
@@eddieshane4175 that's not even remotely true
The kid laroi has written some good songs which is a feat at a young age
I love this man for many reasons. Most of all the saved my sons life with his music. My son went thru a very hard time in his life and posts music got him thru allot. I am 51 years old and i attended posty fest with my son a few years back and it was the most amazing experience. He is such a humble human being. You can see the love in his eyes he truly cares about people. My son always says one day I will be up on that stage and doing my music and I cant wait to meet Post. We are from San Antonio Texas. BUD LIGHT baby. We love you post keep doing what your doing because I am sure we arent the only ones you have touched.
Bud light lol
Thank you for your wonderful music Post 💗 especially "I Fall Apart" it helped me through my first break up which lead to severe depression and anxiety (never experienced it before then) 🙏🏽 keep up the great music sending love from Australia 💗
I can’t even explain how much I loved how real and honest he was , he’s happy now .
I love listening to Post speak, I feel a connection to his thinking, and enjoy his honesty .
Yeah but Posty has also made an album of 18 songs and nearly the whole album charted so I mean it's not impossible ESPECIALLY when his music is as great as his. Every song on all of his albums are hits in my opinion.
id prefer a long album than a short one. more songs to listen to
Its still gonna be like 12-16 songs, which is normal for an album
Yep even his songs you don't hear on the radio are good
Lit🔥🔥🔥🔥
It always grounds me to see his dad comment on his sons progress. You can tell that there is no other motive other than what's the best for his son.
I can't wait for the new album to drop! Glad to see he's happy enjoying his family and playing games!
When’s the album coming out
@@Ozzyozzysheesh Next few months. He'll drop another single first
@@eduardopadillasaenz7138 One Right Now is the 1st single
I happy to see that you are enjoying life your way and can’t wait to hear your new album drop… keep up the great work and take care…
Making music and fam is just a side quest for this dude. His main quest is still living life and playing hobbies. Good for this dude man. 👍 keep doing you
The most humble and down to earth pop artist out there for sure. Oh man i would do anything to just be able to sit down and talk with Austin for a day
Love Posty so much, he has a song for every mood and all his albums are no skip, cannot wait for the next one 🔥🔥
I loved his episode on Rogans podcast that went on for 4 hours while they were tripping on mushrooms. I watched the whole thing several times. If I could work with any artist or hang out with any artist of my choice it would be Post Malone. Seems like such a genuine and cool guy.
I pray that he keeps the right people around him and can’t wait to hear new albums in the future 🙏
I’ve watched a bunch of interviews with him before I heard his music. I’ve always believed that cliché “never judge a book by its cover” and he is one of the greatest examples of that. A little ashamed to admit that the first time I heard his music was on SNL this past weekend. About 5 seconds into Cooped Up, I was vibing. I just love everything about him. He doesn’t fit a particular mold, he is who he is and that’s why people love him. I am all for it.
Post Malone is one of those artists that is so wholesome for what he does and at the end of the day is one of us
I saw post Malone I clicked, I love you man so waiting for your comeback
Circles had just dropped when my partner of 22 years was taken from me. Before Circles, Better Now affected me like few songs ever have. What a breakthrough artist this man is,🥰
was they returned?
@@donkeywhistler You're a special kind of askhole.
I live here in Utah. Came from Texas , been a lot of places.... Hes 💯 correct about being here. Once I came here I knew this was were I needed to be. The creativity that grew in me here has led to a successful biz. I've hoped to run into him just so I can shake his hand and tell him thank you. thank you for being a genuine humble soul. For sharing his art and creativity that's changed so many lives. For showing himself to us in his natural state so those coming up can see it's ok to be who you are as long as your true to yourself. Post, you are a force of nature, a humble but magnificent King. Your uniqueness and unapologetic style is soul warming. I can't wait to always hear what you have to say next, because it's obvious that you walk in the honesty and sincerity of your words in every interview, comment or song. That in itself is inspiring and like breath of fresh air in this terrible era of passive agressive bullying and passive snitching. Thank you for maintaining your moral compass and it setting a positive example for those that look up to you and are inspired by you.
You are truly a gift, beyond just a man, you are a King. Continue to be blessed you deserve all the wonderful things in store for you. If I ever happen to cross paths with you, I would love to buy you a few beers, shake your hand , and thank you in person. Blessed Be King Post.
Whatever mood i'm in, down, scared, on the bottom, lonley, happy, up high, great spirit, Post got a song what translates my feeling ALWAYS helps me cheer up

I want to play APEX with post malone🥺
I'm 70 this yr, and this boy is like my boy, only mines 41, but lives the gaming, all his life, he's an engineer and made himself an eleminum gaming tube, with a door that opens like a Ferrari lol, it's so cool it's dark in there once you get in, but the seat slides to where you want it, it's his way of chilling when work and family have gone to bed
Went to see Post last night in New Jersey, and It was one of the best nights in my life. He is such a humble amazing artist who makes wonderful music, and he is so genuine, I love him sooo much!
Watch post grow… I’ll definitely tune in to this upcoming album 👏🏾🔥🔥🔥
I dont know why, but whenever I hear post talk, I feel butterflies in my stomach and I feel so happy. ❤️
You make my heart happy...when life gets tough your music keeps me sane... forever your fan❤️
“I wanna hear it again, let’s go again”…. NAILED IT RIGHT ON TARGET. haven’t stopped listening to Austin since it dripped
He's a legend and I love his music. My fav artist.
@@cabby4223 hahaha
A legend to children, that's about it..
@@lexxdiamondz why are you here then? Get a life.
@@cabby4223 I remember when I was a 12 year old.
Literally just now was wondering when a new album was coming, and decided to search- well what do ya know! Post is great, and I’m so stoked for new music. I would love to see him live again. It’s been going on 5 years now. He’s grown tremendously since then, it seems. Take care of yourself, Austin! 2022 📈 If you read this, make a song with Lil Skies this year 👀 🔥
His raw emotion moves me. I am a 60 year old lady and I am his fan !!!❤❤
Very inspiring artist with good manners and so humble😇
Ya quiero escuchar su nuevo álbum 💥🤩
Post Malone is my favorite artist and his songs mean so much to me! I’m glad to see that he’s doing well.
I love this guy, and I am not the biggest fan of his music.
I can't get enough of watching him interact with people. So genuine, I watched the whole stream with ItzTimmy. SO cool
Love you so much Post!!! Keep doing you! I’ve been dealing with depression and anxiety for over 10 yrs but your music brings me such joy. Love you so much!!! Go Cowboys!!!
I love Post Malone, he's the real deal nothing fake bout him! ❤️& ✌️
I love that he doesn't just put out hits that are for radio or singing about models and drugs only. His music is sooo catchy while maintaining quality and depth. The only physical CDs I'll still go out of my way to the store to get are his and Taylor's. Can't wait for the new album!
Lol like white Iverson and so many others? Lol. He's def got alotta songs that weren't deep at all
I'd say his newer music is def better then past but it's changed alot
@@willthomas5953 cap
Taylor and Posty, love the respect for both
@@willthomas5953 you can cherry pick samples from any artist that don't fit the narrative, you get the point. There is so much trash rnb & rap that's only good to bump to with no real underlying substance. I love the artists LIKE Posty (I know there's many in the hiphop universe) that can do both. Hollywood's bleeding is full of songs that have quality, deeper meanings (as well as some bops like Wow. that don't) If it came off like I think every song of his is some deep lyrical masterpiece that's not what I meant ❤ I personally hope he continues playing around in the country or rock genre as well, his recent covers have been 🔥
I’m excited man I’ve been really getting into Post Malone over the past two years and I look forward to his new music
Cool to see him disconnect and just move to a place like Utah, props. Looking forward to checking out this new album.
Love you Post & happy for you😘💖😘 Every time I play your song Circles, I just want to eat up your beautiful vocals & love listening to all the songs on the CD. Excited to get your new album, once it's released. Sending love & hugs. xxo
He’s so normal, it makes him relatable! Love you post!
@Ryan Scriver i pitty your perception and short eyed vision my dude. You got progress ahead of you, start workin.
I love your music!! I love your compassion & how chill you are! It's refreshing 😁
Hollywood's bleeding was one of the best albums I've listened too. Still listen to those songs to this very single day I'm writing this silly comment. 💙
Such a nice and genuine guy.
Post malone has and always will have a special place in my heart we have some many things in common sometimes I feel theres a reason I discovered his music when he started and it was when I was going through the most and his music truly helped my mental health, I was just in my teen years around maybe 2014 or 15ish reaching 18 and although im a girl I’ve always jammed to all his music wether its covers or whatever, its hard to believe sometimes someone who is a complete stranger in a way you’ve know your whole life and it’s crazy but I’m truly appreciative of the opportunity of being alive in the era of post malone and being able to enjoy every second of it.
Don’t know if you’ve already listened to it or not but on his official YT is a song cover called #mood it is one of his best honestly and this is coming from someone who like all his music
Post is genuinely adorable. Such a sweet soul.
I love Post Malone even more after seeing this video!!!! Such cool vibes ❤️💕
I'm so glad that he is much happier at the moment. Hope you have a lot of fun while living in Utha and can't wait to listen to your new album soon! Dabbing on the haterssss~
Post Malone um dos maiores artistas dessa geração. Ansioso pelo o Twelve Carat Toothache.
Omg same! I moved here to Utah last year! Post’s concerts are some of the best! His passion shines through & those r the best artists 💯💯
He seems like such a down to earth dude. Like you could just walk up to him and have a chill conversation.
He's such a wholesome dude. 💕
He secured the bag, and still protects the bag. 💼 Posty the man with his good decisions. #utah
I don't like his music but listening to him in interviews I love how he talks and really intelligent, I do love watching him being interviewed
Never heard any of his music, didn't know who he really was? came across him on a podcast and enjoyed his SMILE and his Yes Sir and how he says Thank U when people comment on his work!!! I've been out of touch w/music for long long time, and no tv just as long. But I Truly Love this kid/young man, especially at this time in my life I WAS IN NEED OF SOMETHING TO UP-LIFT ME AGAIN,
"I think about everything at the same time and it's fuckin overload" couldn't have described it any better
6:07 2 Head shots out of 4? And he's not even looking for one.. Legend and an Apex Legend
Your badass !!! Real in every aspect of what you sing about, your music has become a huge part of my life! Lots of love and thanks to you, keep doing what you do….💜💜💜💜
My daughter got me listening to Post Malone. His music is so soothing to me. He's one of those artists that appeals to people of all ages. I don't think there's a single song he does that I don't like. Thanks, Post Malone!
I love Post Malone as a person and is music is just a bonus.
Super talented artist very chill and relaxed I could drink some beer 🍺 with this dude 😀.
Keep doing you post, excited for the new album to come!
Post malone has been living in Utah for years now. Super nice and genuine guy on and off the mic
He makes people feel so comfortable despite the fact that he’s one of the most famous singers on the planet!! So humble and I love how he stuck to his roots ❤️
I love this man more than I love myself, I’m so fucking ready to listen to the new album
Love your music bro keep pumping them out 👍
I met posty out side of chick fil a and his music has help me so much to overcome depression and anxiety thanks I can’t wait for his new music
