Billy Strings exploded onto the bluegrass scene with his gritty, high-speed track "Dust in a Baggie." Written entirely by Billy Strings (real name William Lee Apostol), "Dust in a Baggie" first surfaced on his 2016 self-titled EP before appearing again on his 2017 debut album, Turmoil & Tinfoil. The song narrates the harsh realities of meth addiction and prison life, inspired by Brad Lasco, a family friend who struggled with substance abuse and incarceration. The song went viral thanks to a raw basement performance video featuring a quirky, barefoot friend named "Barefoot Ben" smoking an unlit cigarette, racking up over 29 million views. With its rapid-fire guitar picking, classic bluegrass vibes, and blunt, real-world lyrics, "Dust in a Baggie" became an instant fan favorite. Although it didn’t hit any Billboard charts, the song firmly established Billy Strings as a fresh voice in bluegrass, becoming a staple at his shows—he's played it live over 400 times—and appearing again on his 2024 album, Live Vol. 1.
