Vocalists who transcend the superficiality of fragile fame in the media are a rarity. When one’s talent and musical ability travels into the realm of genius and legend, we know we have something special. Whether it be the Beatles, Whitney Houston, or Beyoncé; iconic and amazing performers should be treasured. We in 2018 have again found the next music legend. Hailing from Golconda, Illinois, this young artist has become the hottest name in music, and is performing at the same level as the top in the industry. Whether it be at Coachella, or your local Walmart, this artist has been touching the souls of millions of Americans. This artist of course being, Yodeling Walmart Kid.

This national sensation is the hottest commodity in the music since his video of him performing Hank William’s “Lovesick Blues” in a Walmart went viral. People immediately fell in love with his unreal vocal talent and unwavering confidence. Walmart Yodeling Kid, or Mason Ramsey, is captivating the nation at levels never seen before. The legend was featured on the Ellen DeGeneres show where he was offered a $15,000 scholarship for college and an opportunity to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. He then soared to the top with a surprise performance at Coachella, the biggest musical festival in the country. No one can deny the raw talent this 11-year-old possesses, and that is what makes him the Picasso of music.

His talent has inspired the work of many other artists. The saturation of Yodel Kid “Trap Remixes” has entertained us all. However, one remix stands out as the most entertaining and thumping of all. “Yodeling Walmart Kid-Remix” by INAP is the perfect combination of the inspiring voice of Ramsey and absolutely sick beats. The haunting voice of Yodeling Walmart Kid and the trap beats of INAP make for a party song that brings out the animalistic and hyped dance moves that live within all of us. Even the Queen of England couldn’t help from twerking on the dance floor to this song. This song deserves a spot in every club in America’s playlist. The image of celebrities and models poppin’ molly in a high-end club in Ibiza with this song blaring in the background is not a far-fetched one. Lesser minds would think this song to be a joke, but it is a legitimate party song that sends an irresistible urge to dance through all who listen. Even if this song is played on repeat for hours, it never gets old or annoying to those listening. Words cannot describe how fun and hype this song is, which is why I am giving it so much acclaim.

The future of Yodeling Walmart Kid is not a precarious or unsure one. He will forever be known for his performance in Walmart and elsewhere. His iconic voice has already cemented him in the status of a legend. We are all better people for having listened to him, and are blessed to live in a time where we can hear him sing. His signature white buttoned up shirt is reflective of his pure and glittering talent. Mozart was only six years younger than Yodeling Walmart Kid when he wrote his first symphony. True musical genius manifests itself at a young age, and he shows that. I am not saying Yodeling Walmart Kid is this millennia’s Mozart, but the facts are there to support that claim. However, if that turns out to be true, we should count our blessings as the generation who was able to witness the rise of this force of musical ability. For now, we can just enjoy Mason Ramsey’s singing in our living room, the club, or Coachella, and that is enough to be happy about.
