It’s no stretch to say that Zach Bryan is one of the most prolific artists of this generation of country music.

Just hours after his good friend, HARDY, dropped a surprise single, QUIT!!, Morgan Wallen took to Instagram to tease a brand new track presumably titled I Guess. This comes just weeks after Wallen teased another new song which was written by him, Post Malone and Ernest that eventually got deleted due to many negative comments pointing out the overproduction and extremely poppy style of the song. Some of the negative comments on the aforementioned song included: “Not really feeling this one…,” “Anyone else think this was a joke at first? respectfully” and “First Morgan song I haven’t liked.” Unlike that…
