Dallas guy Post Malone just keeps popping up on our news feeds. After the Justin Bieber joke choke seen 'round the world, the Dallas musician is now getting recognition for his cover of "Lithium" by Nirvana during California fest Coachella.

He performed it on Sunday, April 17. Here's a clip:

If Post continues to stretch the genre boundaries of his recorded work, fans will see that he's adept at performing all kinds of music. A 2013 video of Post strumming his acoustic and singing Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" has made the rounds on YouTube. His delivery is breathtaking. He also did a haunting version of Kanye West's "Heartless" during a BBC appearance.

Speaking of Kanye, both he and Post were on stage with Jack Ü Saturday night, April 16, during a huge Coachella show. We'd say that's a big deal, except it isn't, really: Post Malone has already been featured on West's new album Life of Pablo.

Kanye West is clearly a Post Malone fan.
