After teasing his blockbuster ‘Miami’ remix featuring Lil Wayne and Rick Ross last week, Morgan Wallen has now confirmed he’ll be dropping the track on Friday, July 25th 2025.

The Sneedville megastar announced the keenly anticipated release date during the second night of his State Farm Stadium show in Glendale, Arizona last night (Saturday, July 19th).

Wallen first hinted that he’d be dropping a star-studded remix of ‘Miami’, one of the stand-outs from the ‘Last Night’ chart-topper’s new album, I’m the Problem, during his double-header in the Floridian city that inspired the track earlier in July.

With ‘Miami’ being one of the more trap-leaning offerings on I’m the Problem, it’s no surprise that Morgan Wallen has opted for two rap titans as his guests for this reimagined take.

Morgan Wallen initially suggested that BigXthaPlug was supposed to be featured on ‘Miami’ during a conversation with Theo Von in April, but revealed BigX did not finish his verse in time. In that same chat, Wallen speculated that he might be tempted to drop another rendition of ‘Miami’ with a rap feature in the near future.

Thankfully, he didn’t wait too long before delivering, with the ‘Miami’ remix arriving this Friday. It remains to be seen whether it will be released as a standalone single – which seems likely – or whether it will be dropping as part of a larger EP.

Listeners have been clamouring for Morgan Wallen to release an extended version of ‘Interlude’ ever since the album arrived in May, with Wallen teasing that he had taken note of fans’ calls. We’re hoping that, after Drake walked out alongside the ‘I Got Better’ hitmaker ahead of his Houston show, the ‘6 God’ might be joining Wallen on the full version of ‘Interlude’. Could this be dropping on Friday too? Both explore a hazy, trap-inspired sound, and would certainly fit together nicely on an EP…
