Meet Cowboy Troy a Hick-Hop Artist, full-time
rhymer and part-time singer.
I have had the honor, and yes it is an honor, to get to know him through Social Networking site Twitter. He is always supportive of the community, responsive and completely accessible when other Music Stars are available there in "name only."
Troy Lee Coleman III (born in Victoria, Texas) is an American musician, better known by his stage name Cowboy Troy, who performs country rap. He is a member of the MuzikMafia, an aggregation of country music singer-songwriters whose membership also includes Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson and James Otto. He has released four studio albums and one EP, including two releases on Warner Bros. Records, and has charted twice on the Billboard country singles charts.

When you're six feet, five inches tall you stand out. Add a cowboy
hat and you stand out even more. Then, make the subject from Texas with darker
than average skin and there's no question that Cowboy Troy (AKA Troy Coleman)
isn't exactly an average guy.
"I grew up listening to a mix of country music, rap and rock,
with a little bit of funk and pop," Coleman says. "That didn't make
me unusual back home (Dallas, Texas). Whenever I would go into the honky-tonks
and they put on Run-DMC or Sir Mix-A-Lot, the floor would be packed with the
cowboy hats swaying and people having a good time dancing. So it didn't seem
like that big a deal for me once I decided to try music that all these things
would converge in my music."
