Lil Nas X Drops New Album, ‘MONTERO,’ And Promotes HIV Awareness

Lil Nas X announced the due date of his album, MONTERO, with a fake pregnancy photoshoot on his Twitter. Following the theme of pregnancy, Nas released a list of charities to donate to as a MONTERO “baby registry”.

The organizations Nas promoted in his registry included Transinclusive, the Bail Project, Thrive SS and What’s In the Mirror. These groups are a comprehensive portfolio of social activism focusing on issues such as LGBT+ rights, HIV awareness, mental health awareness and anti-incarceration groups.

Lil Nas X’s debut album, MONTERO finally dropped this weekend on Spotify and Apple Music. Alongside the Album, Nas came out with an entire collection of music videos, extras and skits on his YouTube channel. This comes in the wake of Nas’s spectacular performance at the VMAs and appearance at the Met Gala earlier this week.

The album included star-studded collaborators with features from Doja Cat, Elton John, and Miley Cyrus.
