Once upon a time, Post Malone went to high school and had to hand in projects, just like the rest of us.
Enter Leon DeChino.
If that name sound family, it’s not because it’s Malone’s real name; that’s actually Austin Richard Post. He flipped his last name to his first to create his stage name, then found “Malone” through an online rap name generator.
Post Malone does shout out Leon DeChino on his single, “Psycho.” But why?
Leon was created for a high school art project. And the project was this music video:
It’s kind of a bop!
You can definitely see why Post Malone was voted “Most Likely to Become Famous” by his classmates at Grapevine High School.
