--------
Yelawolf discussed his decision to leave Eminem's Shady Records and go independent. He touched on his work on the album 'Trial by Fire,' which he believes is one of the most important hip-hop country albums ever created. Having gone through a challenging process producing it, he felt it represented a paradigm shift in the Nashville music scene, blending hip-hop and country. Following his departure from Shady Records after the release of 'Trunk Muzik 3,' Yelawolf has been focusing on his own growth and building up his brand. He aims to follow his own creative path without being too concerned about chart positions or sales numbers, but only on producing quality music. His latest release, 'Mud Mouth,' might be his last in the hip-hop genre for a while, as he now plans to focus on rock and roll.

brah ask him about the Royce beef......

[@curryshotyou1538]

That Yelawolf and Caskey's album is the most slept-on album of that year. I listen to that album pretty consistently

[@jamesg8175]

Trial by fire is so underrated

[@Thumper68]

Yela is such an underrated lyricist he can straight spit it. I want another Trunk Muzik type album.

[@briano9397]

I love how proud he is of his music. He should be, he did give Shady good work

[@arcangelmaaze7804]

I completely agree. Yelawolf is the King of this country hip-hop not just in Tennessee but in general. Hick hop is so corny, and we all know. Yelawolf can blend the genres in a way it's not cringe to listen to. He's a story teller, he can rap as well, he can flow, he's lyrical, he's a writer. I relate to what he says sometimes, where some country and most rap I can't relate to. I even like Devil in my veins without no rap I it. WLPWR hits the mark every time

I STILL LISTEN TO YELAWOLF TILL THIS DAY

Yela is so real as an artist. I respect him so much for his authenticity and love for the craft. His music, whether it be hip hop, country, or rock and roll is all unique and enjoyable to listen to because it all comes from his heart. Fuck money, grammys and Spotify numbers, make music because you love it and nothing else.

I love Trial By Fire. I even wrote Yelawolf a long message about how amazing it was.

[@EugeneFields-im2ep]

Love your unique style, never change!

[@saulgood6909]

His verse on one train was SICK. Unforunately, you didn't hear much after he left Shady. So that's why you stay with the big labels to get exposure for 3 albums. Kinda sucks but he would be with the big dogs instead of fading to just the smaller fan base. No disrespect, I love this dude. Totally original, real, and raw. I skated with this dude back in the day in the A town.

[@Hunter-fo3np]

I stand behind you and all your work as an artist keep doing you all albums mentioned dope hope you see the support 💪🏻

[@edwin99901]

That Sabrina song was intense. Ome of those somgs that so descriptive that i can visualize a video in my head as it unfolds.

[@shady08pc12]

That's what I wanted 2hear yelawolf say about leaving Shady Records .I knew he was building slumamerican up and bringing other artists 2the spot light.....just went 2 a Struggle Jennings meet&greet!

[@romerosneck]

Anyone else feeling like Vlad just talks drama between grown men for a living is fucking weird. All this she said he said nonsense

[@HookFaced]

This dude is like the Tom Petty of rap

[@drbeavis4211]

I've never been into this guys music, but he's from my home state so that's pretty damn cool.. I used to go to the Annistan projects to get weed lol. Seems like a standup guy, liked hearing his story.
