Robbing a Dollar General isn’t exactly a big pay-day. That’s why Strange Music’s (Tech N9ne’s label) Stevie Stone and Yelawolf run up in the jewelry store next door in their new video. Great cinematography and song. That chorus will probably be stuck in my head for the remainder of the day too. Classic Yela on the chorus for sure. It was hook’s for Jim Jonsin like this that gave Yelawolf a name for himself. See: I Run.

“You have to have a lot of pain before you can be culturally impactful, once you share your story that’s the difference between a rapper and a superstar Yelawolf.”

If there is an artist who feels his music, who also doesn’t overplay his story and hides his background from the limelight it’s this guy. His lyrics and sentiment come from a place that most rap fans can’t relate. It is a different type of place than your typical New York City, LA hardship story.

Yelawolf still does not have a release date for his sophomore album, Love Story. Maybe it’s because he’s been in the lab with Travis Barker. Creatively, this project has to be on a completely different level than what Yelawolf is used to making with the Shady team. I guess you could say this is for the true Yelawolf fans; the one’s that don’t care about album sales, raido play or the big bucks. Props to Yela for making music he wanted to make rather than what the label wants from him.

“Every time we would get in the lab we’d knock something out. We just collaborated and… had a meeting of the minds. There’s a lot of cool stuff we came up with.” The EP also includes a guest appearance by Rancid’s Tim Armstrong, Barker’s bandmate in Transplants, on a “punk-reggae” track called “Can’t Push Us Around”. I don’t know Travis’ situation fully, the legals of it, whether it’s going to be free or sold or whatever. It’ll be available. As artists, hopefully we can get it on the shelves, but we’ll get it out there somehow. I’m just hyped for people to hear it.” -Yelawolf
