Colt Ford Releases Feel-Good New Track "Hell Out Of It" Featuring Michael Ray
Colt Ford, the trailblazing country rapper born Jason Farris Brown in Athens, Georgia, has made a triumphant return to the music scene with his latest single, "Hell Out Of It," featuring Michael Ray. Released on February 21, 2025, this feel-good anthem marks Ford's first release since surviving a life-altering heart attack in 2024.
The new single, written by Cole Taylor, Michael Tyler, Thomas Archer, and Lalo Guzman, is a celebration of small-town life and embracing every moment with collaborator Michael Ray describing it as "an anthem for the small town, blue collar men and women — the ones that work hard and play harder".
Ford, known for his unique blend of country and rap, found deep resonance with the song's message, especially in light of his recent health shock. The collaboration with Ray adds another layer of authenticity to the track, with Ford sharing "I wanted to bring in someone I'm close with, and Michael Ray absolutely nailed it."
Ford's musical journey began in earnest with the release of his debut album, "Ride Through the Country," in 2008. Since then, he has achieved significant milestones, including over 3 million albums sold, more than a billion streams, and five consecutive Top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart. His groundbreaking work in country rap has led to collaborations with notable artists like Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, and Jermaine Dupri.
In addition to "Hell Out Of It," Ford has been busy with other collaborative musical projects. His recent work includes singles "Beers Back" with DJ Cliffy D and Jesslee, "Far Too Long" with Kidd Ziggy and "Fight" with Caden McGuire, with the latter blending country rap and rock to inspire resilience. Ford has also teamed up with Krizz Kaliko to form the duo Hoodbillies, releasing a self-titled EP that bridges the gap between country and trap music.
As Ford steps back into the spotlight with renewed purpose, he's not just releasing new music but also hitting the road. He recently announced the Must Be The Country Tour, which includes over 30 shows across the United States.
Colt Ford's return to music with "Hell Out Of It" is more than just a new single; it's a testament to his resilience and passion for creating music that resonates with his audience. As he continues to push the boundaries of country music, Ford remains a influential figure in the genre, blending traditional country themes with contemporary sounds and collaborations.
