Editor's note

Yelawolf, the Alabama rapper with country grit

A Southern storyteller who mixes rap, rock, and country into something raw and personal.

If you want to get a feel for his sound, start with 'Tennessee Love' or 'Catfish Billy'. They frame that mix of Southern storytelling and raw energy pretty well.

He's not just another rapper from the South. Yelawolf pulls from Hank Williams and Outkast, and you can hear it in songs like 'Tennessee Love' or 'Empty Bottles', they're rough, personal tracks about family and hard times. That blend of rap with country and rock sounds gives his music a specific, lived-in feel that's hard to pin down anywhere else.

He started rapping in his teens in Gadsden, Alabama, and put out mixtapes after an early deal with Columbia didn't work out. His debut album 'Radioactive' came out in 2010, and he's kept releasing records like 'Love Story' in 2015 and 'Ghetto Cowboy' in 2021, working with everyone from Eminem to Shooter Jennings along the way.

Archive material and source history

Yelawolf is Michael Wayne Atha III from Gadsden, Alabama. He started rapping in his teens and put out mixtapes after an early stint with Columbia Records didn't work out. His debut album 'Radioactive' came out in 2010 and landed at number 27 on the Billboard chart. Since then he's released records like 'Love Story' in 2015 and 'Ghetto Cowboy' in 2021.

His songs often mix rap with country and rock sounds, pulling from influences like Hank Williams and Outkast. Tracks like 'Tennessee Love' and 'Empty Bottles' have a rough, personal feel, dealing with family and hard times. He's worked with people from Eminem to Shooter Jennings, but his style stays his own.

There was some noise about his use of Native American imagery, which he said was meant as a nod to his own Cherokee background. He also apologized for language in older lyrics that upset people. He keeps putting out music, with another album expected at some point.
