11'o Clock News: Tuesday July 16th

After “Old Town Road” kicked off a trend of country-trap this year, Blanco Brown felt the timing was just right for his dance hit “The Git Up.”

Brown, who grew up in Atlanta, has been living in both musical worlds his entire life. His mom played him OutKast and Jodeci, but he’d spend summers with his aunt in rural Butler, Georgia, where he’d hear mostly Johnny Cash and Tim McGraw.

“Later on when I was about 23, 24, I started recording country records,” 34-year-old Brown said. “And my friends would tell me, ‘Man, you’re black. You know you can’t do no country records.’”

Talk about a powerhouse collaboration!

Country stars Chris Young and Lauren Alaina have teamed up for a new breakup anthem called "Town Ain’t Big Enough.”

“It’s a vibey song, but serious lyrics underneath it,” Young tells ET exclusively.

The new single, which Young wrote earlier this year with Cary Barlowe, Corey Crowder and Dan + Shay’s Shay Mooney, is one that hits home for “anyone who has gone through a breakup,” he adds.
