Lil Nas X’s debut album Montero was released last week to rave reviews and gave us many epic tracks. Some of them saw the Grammy-winning rapper join forces with some of our favorite artists, and here are five amazing collaborations that made us fall in love with this album.

“Industry Baby” ft. Jack Harlow
