Fusing authentic Montana roots with a modern hip-hop swagger, the independent powerhouse delivers his highly anticipated new record, Yellowstone County, driven by massive digital momentum with his breakout single “Wrangler.”
BILLINGS, MT / MusicWire / July 16, 2026 — Montana-born singer, songwriter, and outlaw-country trailblazer Austin Martin is officially kicking the door down with the announcement of his highly anticipated full-length album, Yellowstone County, releasing worldwide on July 17, 2026. Following up on an explosive string of singles and a 40-million-plus-stream milestone collectively across streaming platforms, Martin is rewriting the playbook on modern country music by blending authentic, dirt-under-the-fingernails storytelling with heavy hip-hop rhythms. Raised between the grueling, hard-work demands of a cattle ranch outside Billings and the rhythm-heavy influence of his father’s DJ booth, Austin Martin’s musical identity has always lived at a unique crossroads. After carving a name for himself from New York to Los Angeles, including a top-35 run on the Oxygen Network’s The Glee Project, Martin returned to his roots to capture a sound that is entirely his own.
Yellowstone County is the ultimate culmination of that journey.
“Raised by grit. Built by mistakes. Saved by music,” Martin says of the new project. “With ‘Wrangler,’ I finally felt like I authentically captured who I am as an artist. This new album takes that energy and runs with it. It’s raw, it’s unapologetic, and it’s the exact sound of where I come from.”
The album features a powerhouse tracklist that navigates the intersection of country pop and country rap, boasting fan-favorite anthems like “Take Her to Church” and the high-energy “Wrangler,” which received a massive mainstream boost via an official remix with multi-platinum hip-hop icon Chingy. From the traditional country phrasings of his latest single, “Bourbon & Bullseyes,” to the stadium-sized basslines of his country-pop-infused rap verses, Yellowstone Countycements Martin as a premier force on the rising independent country scene.
Yellowstone County is available on all major streaming platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify, on July 17, 2026. For review copies, premiere requests, or interview inquiries, see media contact details below.
