Post Malone has hinted that he may return to hip-hop after recent pop and country releases, sharing an Instagram clip featuring an unreleased track with melodic rap vocals. The teaser has prompted enthusiasm from fans and fellow artist Tyla Yaweh, and may indicate the musical direction of his next album, The Eternal Buzz.

His most recent rap album, Twelve Carat Toothache, reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in 2022, before 2023’s Austin explored pop and 2024’s F-1 Trillion moved into country. The new project has no confirmed release date, although Malone previously said he had recorded 35 songs in Nashville; the snippet references his 2016 debut album, Stoney.
