Along with the cover art release, Lil Nas X said he’ll be sharing the track list for his upcoming album tomorrow, September 1st.

Tom Morello Asks for Help to Save Girls in Afghanistan
Tom Morello, guitarist for Rage Against the Machine, wrote an open letter that was sent to Billboard, pleading for help to get girls out of Afghanistan. The letter was sent by his friend, and guitar teacher, Lanny Cordola. Cordola started Girl with a Guitar in Afghanistan, which is a program that got girls off the streets and taught them music. In the letter Morello wrote, “[Girl With a Guitar] takes in street orphans and other girls that have endured significant trauma and uses music as a rehabilitation tool and means of working through their problems, their histories, and their hopes. I’ve had the honor of collaborating with these wonderful kids. Since the Taliban takeover their school has been destroyed and the girls are in hiding”. These girls are likely to be in extreme danger, considering it’s common knowledge that they’ve previously performed western music. Cordola is currently in Pakistan himself, trying to get 12 girls from Girl With a Guitar, and their families, out of Afghanistan. To help with his efforts, visit the program’s website here.
