Cowboy Troy : Official Dixie National Rodeo Aftershow at Martin's Downtown

Cowboy Troy is the pioneer of hick hop and country rap. His first major album, Loco Motive, was the first hick hop/country rap album to have major distribution on RAYBAW/ Warner Nashville. He’s grown as an artist. Cowboy Troy’s latest album, Songs from the Piney Woods (2023) gives the listener a window into Troy’s rendition of Texas country and traditional country. Back in 2020, Troy released his four-part Galaxy project. Each EP contained four songs each. Many songs were very forward thinking in the Hick Hop genre but some of the songs had a retro feel in the vein of Texas swing. Looking for the right mix of country radio friendly songs and dance club shakers, Troy intends on keeping the party going. Since 2001, Cowboy Troy has incorporated elements of rap into his version of country music. The native Texan continues to develop his artistry while exploring new topics and incorporating new sounds.
