Fans were eager to get their hands on Post Malone's country album F-1 Trillion when it dropped just after midnight on Friday (Aug. 16), but they had no idea what else the country newcomer had up his sleeve.

Not even 12 hours later, the rapper has released F-1 Trillion: Long Bed — a deluxe version of his album with nine additional tracks.

What Is F-1 Trillion: Long Bed?

The extended version of F-1 Trillion is an expansion of Malone's solo work. While the initial release of 18 songs featured 14 collaborations, the nine additional songs are a deep dive into Malone as a solo country artist.

In other words, it's what the "I Had Some Help" singer could have made, had all of his studio invitations been rejected by Nashville's finest. It's Malone penning a heartfelt love letter to a genre he's loved since childhood.

"9 more solo records," he writes on social media, revealing the surprise.

Post Malone's F-1 Trillion: Long Bed Tracks (Without Original Tracklist)

These additions to the project raise the tracklist from 18 to 27 songs. Following his heartfelt fatherhood song "Yours", Malone has tacked on the following songs:

"Fallin' in Love"
"Dead at the Honky Tonk"
"Killed a Man"
"Ain't How It Ends"
"Hey Mercedes"
"Go to Hell"
"Two Hearts"
"Who Needs You"
"Back to Texas"

Many of these nine songs are guitar-led, with elements of the classic country songs from back in the day, like fiddle, steel guitar and banjo.

It's unclear if the new additions mean the album is complete. Maybe Malone has more surprises up his sleeve?
