MAVERICK IS A LEGEND OF COUNTRY TRAP

Team Maverick, led by Gee Roberson and Adam Leber, are preparing to take Columbia phenom Lil Nas X to the next level (which, we guess, would be the level just after "holy shit").

We already told you that Gee's impeccable hip-hop bona fides made an impression on the young artist; we also note that Leber, as manager of Miley Cyrus (who's also a pal of Columbia boss Ron Perry), helped solidify the family connection with Billy Ray Cyrus, guest on the smash remix of Lil Nas' country-trap explosion "Old Town Road."

Gee and his partners Jean Nelson, Cortez Bryant and Shawn Gee partnered joined forces with Leber to bring in this giant. They have all requested that Greg Thompson stop wearing his spurs around the office.
