That’s awesome that they took you as their country guy! 🔥

This is sick!! I hope one of your Zoom calls was a deep dive on boyfriend country or "Shut Up And Fish"

So proud of you. You are no longer just a small little KZfaqr

Pre-downloaded! Huge respect to the company for wanting to properly portray the country world in their game and not just picking whatever was big on the charts for the last couple months.

If this doesn’t cement Grady as THE country music tastemaker, then I don’t know what will. Very cool, Grady. Love seeing you do big things. 👏👏

Wow what a great opportunity for you and all of them to calibrate on this game. I can tell how passionate you are on being the country music advisor and they made a great choice in reaching out to you. Happy to see how it opened new windows for you. Congratulations Grady!

So happy that the reasons why you moved to Nashville truly are coming to fruition for you. You really get to be part of the industry that you are an expert on. So happy for your success and I will definitely be getting this game!

My favorite thing about country music is when I ask my mother, an immigrant, if she likes country music, and her answer was “depends from what country”

Got the game! I can honestly say it’s the best beat-player game I’ve ever played. As country fan it’s awesome to have a good game totally dedicated to Country music

there is no one i would rather have as a voice for all country fans than you Grady! what a great gift this is!

Wooo! Got some Jesse Daniels!❤ SUPER underrated👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I'm a huge Beat Star fan and when they did their feedback surveys I always said that they needed country songs. I was so excited to get Country Star. I've been playing it since about June and love it! That is so cool that you've been a part of the development of the game.

Congratulations! This is amazing. Can't wait to play it.

As a country music fan and an indie game developer, this is fricking awesome!

Grady, you should call Emily Ann Roberts and ask her to meet up to try out the game.

That’s awesome! I saw some Reddit post of Canadian users that were pre playing it! They released what the playlist was so far at that time. I thought it was crazy that it had a diverse cast of music and gave smaller great artist like Kaitlin butts on a big global game! It totally makes more sense to me because it had you involved in the development! I can’t wait to play the game even more now that I know my favorite country KZfaq reviewer is involved! Great work Grady!

As a Brit who loves country music it’s cool to see a UK company making a country music game. Will definitely check it out when it releases!

Happy International Country Music Day! From London UK.❤

I’m so happy you are part of this! I’ve been nervous about what music they were going to have on it and I’m feeling more hopeful now. Happy to see this company really cares! This is awesome!

Wow. When I saw the video thumb I thought “OK, Grady’s gone on Fiverr and found a dev to help him make a lil country music trivia game. Niche”. I underestimated you sir 🤠. I’ve played Beatstar, it’s a top shelf game and so much fun. I’m pumped that they’ve made a country version. Congratulations Grady, this was the perfect opportunity for you. I hope you’re getting a decent cut because your involvement makes this a sure fire winner 🚀 Can’t wait to play it 😁

I know the game Grady is talking bc I play to another game that company has called Beatstar. I was already preregistered before this video and now I'm even more excited about it.

When I saw the thumbnail, I IMMEDIATELY knew what you were going to talk about! I love beatstar and can't wait for the country version!

This is so awesome to know that you’ve been collaborating with game developers in London and that you’ve been sharing with them all these little details in country music for a game, and that they have been immersing themselves in the country music scenes in Nashville to give the game an authentic feel. I’m hyped.

Been playing Beatstar for years, and I’m SO excited for Country Star!

I've been waiting for this game since the announcement, and I am jawdropped and exhilarated that you're involved in this!!!!

This is sick, definitely going to scratch my Rock Band itch from back in the day. Congratulations!

Finally announced the game I've been dying to play

Pre-downloaded it! We’re proud of you, Grady!

This is awesome, Grady! What an awesome opportunity! There's no better person than you to share the genre we all love so much. And honestly, nobody thinks you're a slacker. You care about putting quality content, and that takes time! Your hard work is definitely paying off. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

Hell yeah Grady! What an awesome opportunity. Pre-registered for the game, can't wait to check it out on the 21st.

Well you are the perfect consultant for them! Congratulations!!

I am so happy for you, Grady.

I saw countrycentral post about this game on Instagram and I figured it was going to be a solely pop-country, out-of-touch game but this video has completely changed my mind. I'm so glad they took the time to do their research on the genre. Looking forward to trying it out.

That’s actually really cool. You know what else is pretty cool? Ray Scott is a really cool artist that nobody talks about

ahhhhh!!! i am so proud of you grady and this looks so so so good and i will definitely play it during my breaks from lecture to lecture! i cant wait and i will be marking down september 21st lol! I, as the big grady smith fan i am, will be a user :)))

I got chills when I saw Hardwood Floors on there

I saw an ad the other day for this game with Mike Harmeier playing it. Really cool to see that you were involved in helping to make it happen.

That's awesome! Love that they wanted to reach out specifically to learn more about the culture of country music. That's more than a lot of people would do, so respect for that.

I’ve played Beatstar before and have gotten ads for the country star pre order. Had no idea you were part of it

Hey Grady, would love a video about the gender divide in country radio. Female country artists received 11% of airplay based on 156 country music radio stations in 2022.

This a huge WIN for country music. You are the perfect guy for the job, and I'm so glad they went to you to make this. I love the original game, and go out of my way to collect the country songs on it. It's addicting. So for them to do a country version, and do it right, is insane. Your song selection seems to be the perfect mix of old and new, traditional and contemporary, small and big. (Also you mentioned genres a lot so I'm really curious if it's the same as the regular game. Will Pop country be an option? Appalachian? I'm so excited to see!) One thing though, I better be able to do The Devil Went Down to Georgia and it better be insanely hard. If there was ever a song for this game, that's it.

This is awesome! Also, I appreciate your love for Low Gap - coming from one of the only country radio programmers that played “Mocking Bird.”

Wow this is soo cool!! Congrats! Thanks for helping make something that majority of country fans would like!

Smart folks. Morgan’s on 4 out of the 6 screen shots. Gonna be neat.

Really cool concept and game. Guitar hero for your phone. I dig it. Crushing it man

Congratulations Grady! You deserve it. This sounds awesome, and can't wait to play it!

This is so cool! Congratulations! Looking forward to playing :)

Congrats Grady. Always gotta find new avenues to use your knowledge for Country Music as a whole.

Very cool !!! I appreciate balancing the radio hits with the indie stuff. As a San Antonio resident, I feel like even here the radio stations don’t pay enough attention to the great singers and bands that are right under their noses. I’d go on and on about how radio stations here don’t play the Aaron Watson / Randy Rodgers and Wade Bowen stuff enough…but there’s no point. It’s not gonna change unfortunately.

I'm excited that our friends in the UK are getting on board with the genre!!

Here's hoping that many more unique opportunities make their way to you in life, you are such a kind soul, so deserved! 🎉

So happy for you!! 🫶😊

This is so rad, Grady. It’s been so fun to watch your progression from where you started years ago.

THIS IS AMAZING!!! you are truly doing the most right now and I applaud you for it. Been a fan of the channel for 3-4 years now and I couldn’t be happier for all that you’ve contributed to the genre. Keep it up Grady!🫡

Glad you said yes, that's awesome and shows you had the confidence to do something different. Proud of you man, also karaoke Grady seems to be a full vibe

Super cool and well timed. Country is really having a huge moment right now.

No way!! I've played BeatStar for a while and really enjoyed it. I can't believe that not only are they doing a country version, but it's sure to have actually good country music since you were involved! Honestly, I'd play it just for the Charles Wesley Godwin song.

Super dope that your passion and expertise could be utilized in such a unique way. And shout out to them for not making an uninformed cash grab of a game and instead seemingly want to genuinely get the scene. Can’t wait to try it out!

Congratulations! What an awesome experience. So interesting to see how much research goes into creating an app

I’ve been a beat star fan for a good while with my friends in my school praise band, but as a country fan for so much longer I just couldn’t get behind it as much. I cannot wait for this game it’s gonna be awesome!

You should get Series of Episodes in the game!

That’s just great man. Good for you.

What an awesome experience. Thats great news! Ill have to look for it

Heck yeah! Can’t wait to download it

This sounds incredible. Your input and opinion is widely appreciated.

Here I figured you just busy doing DIY projects.. haha. Congrats on the achievement!

Watching your growth has been insane over the years, proud of you dude!!

Congrats Grady!! Saw me some Caleb Lee Hutchinson!!! So much talent there.....world needs to see it!

This is sooooo cool man love to see you dive in and represent country music from an accurate and update to date point of view!! Great work

This is such a fun story. Congrats! They definitely picked the right guy.

Very cool Grady! Can’t wait to play it 🤠🤘🏻

I've been playing this game for months! (Admittedly not as much as I'd like, but it's fun when I can.) I see earlier today it was going global, had no idea you were involved. Too cool! (For anyone wondering I'm in Canada, it's been available here for a few months.)

That's insane that they did ALL that legwork when they could've just put out the game with random popular country songs and be done.

This is so amazing! Congratulations!!

Registered! I'm eager to play this game and see the song list! Good job Grady! Congrats! :D

Grady the goat

This is awesome Grady!

I can't wait to play this!

I already have the game and I was impressed with the songs they had. It all makes sense now. 😂

This is Awesome so happy to have a Country Music game and very passionate the genre for sure

Sounds like a super fun project

Grady, this is amazing!! You are doing great work! I'm impressed

That is so awesome. I'll definitely play. It's so cool you were working on this the whole time

I remember you talking about this when it happened on your patreon! So cool how it all needed up happening!

Doesn’t seem like my kind of thing, but the fact that they cared SO MUCH about getting the music right, especially for a genre I have been passionate about since childhood (and hopefully giving our boy a little kickback $$ in the process)…I will for sure download it and tell everyone I know to do the same You’re really making a difference for good in country music, friend 👍🏼

congrats man, this has been a huge undertaking 👏 👏 👏

you just continue to impress me Grady! Amazing. I think it’s awesome that you all become friends too.

I wondered how they chose such good songs when I downloaded last month, of course you were advising them 😂

My jaw literally dropped the second you said mockingbird by low gap I just pre ordered it. Can’t wait!

Already pre-registered. Looking forward to a game where the developer actually respects the genre I love.

Awesome! 🎉 good to hear that you’ve been busy and on the up and up! We love you for what you’ve done for country music and can’t wait to see what your future holds!!!

This makes me so happy! I smiled the whole time watching this!

This is so awesome, Grady! Can't wait to try it out soon... (I really hope "Series of Episodes" would feature in the game!)

This is so awesome!!! What the heck! Congratulations Grady🎉❤

so excited for ya congrats grady it was well deserved

Sold! Very interesting to connect the dots after seeing pictures of you in London.

I have been playing this game for months. I had no idea that you were involved with it

As a long time follower, I can't tell you how excited this makes me! Grady we've seen you blossom before our eyes! Congratulations!

This is AWESOME!! I’m so excited for it!!!

Congrats Grady 👏👏👏 Hopefully they'll add one of my favorite songs by a great up and comer named Grady Smith with his hit song Series of Episodes 🤩🇺🇸😍😎🎶🎵
