Both a lifestyle brand and a countrified mixtape, HIXTAPE was pioneered by Big Loud Records' heavy hitter HARDY – "the musical papa to the HIXTAPE series" (American Songwriter). In its third installment, HIXTAPE is back as HIXTAPE: Vol. 3: DIFFTAPE, a celebration of the legacy and beloved catalog of GRAMMY and CMA Award-winning country icon Joe Diffie. Following HIXTAPE: Vol. 1 (2019), which included Diffie on “Redneck Tendencies (HARDY feat. Trace Adkins & Joe Diffie),” and 2021’s HIXTAPE: Vol. 2, the project brings together a new cast of characters collaborating on renditions of Diffie’s beloved classics. Hitmaking trio Morgan Wallen, HARDY, and Post Malone lead the charge with the first two offerings: “John Deere Green (HIXTAPE, Joe Diffie, Morgan Wallen & HARDY)” released on its 30th anniversary, and the 1994 No. 1 “Pickup Man (HIXTAPE, Joe Diffie & Post Malone).” Produced by Joey Moi, the tributary project is due out via Big Loud Records in conjunction with the Diffie estate on March 29, 2024, the fourth anniversary of Joe Diffie's passing.
