Country-hip hop artist Willie Jones has released a new Apple Music Sessions EP featuring a cover of Usher's "OMG," perfectly timed with Usher's upcoming Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show performance. The EP also includes Jones' breakthrough X-Factor audition song, Josh Turner's "Your Man," and his latest single "Dive Bar."

Jones, known for blending traditional country with hip-hop elements, has achieved significant success with 114 million combined streams and over 500,000 social media followers. His debut album "Right Now" (2021) and sophomore release "Something to Dance To" have earned him appearances on major television shows, including The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live.

USA Today recognized Jones as one of the 12 Black Artists Shaping Country Music's Future, praising his unique "Louisiana hip-hop gumbo" style that incorporates traditional country instruments with modern sounds. He currently hosts "The Cross Road Radio Show" on Apple Music Country, exploring the intersection of country and hip-hop music.

Fans can catch Willie Jones live at the upcoming Stagecoach 2024 festival on Sunday, April 28, where he'll continue showcasing his innovative blend of musical styles. His recent performances include the Sticks and Swamp Tour with RVSVHD, The Bourbon & Beyond Festival, and Golden Sky Festival.
