Multi-platinum hitmaker Russell Dickerson is stepping into bold new territory with his upcoming single ‘BOOTS,' a genre-blurring collaboration with Fetty Wap, arriving May 8. The track, co-written by Dickerson alongside Matt Dragstrem and Dylan Marlowe, fuses country storytelling with an R&B-infused groove, creating a sultry, high-energy anthem that bridges Nashville and hip-hop in a way few mainstream country releases have attempted.
Already generating buzz after a viral TikTok teaser racked up more than 34 million views, ‘BOOTS' has been dubbed a “country-trap anthem,” pairing Dickerson’s vivid, boots-on-the-ground imagery with Fetty Wap’s signature melodic flow and swagger. The collaboration feels both unexpected and organic, an evolution of Dickerson’s sound that leans into rhythm and crossover appeal without losing the emotional core that’s defined his catalogue.
The release lands just in time for a major hometown moment, as Dickerson brings his high-octane live show to Ascend Amphitheater this week for the “Nash-Birthday Bash.” Set for May 8, the celebration will see him share the stage with Tyler Hubbard, Adrien Nunez and Kevin Powers, turning the Nashville stop into a full-scale party. With a summer of amphitheatre dates and his biggest venues yet on the horizon, “BOOTS” signals not just a new single—but a new, more adventurous chapter for one of country’s most dynamic performers.
