Born Michael Wayne Atha on 30 December 1979, this hip hop star is known artistically as Yelawolf. The Gadsden, Alabama native is half white and half Cherokee, Yelawolf being a reference to his Native American roots.
Atha’s original plan in life was to be a skateboarder but several injuries forced him to retire the dream and focus on music. As a kid his family moved around a lot, and he was especially influenced by the hip hop scene in Tennessee.
Atha gained popularity on television while on “The Road to Stardom with Missy Elliot” in 2005 and released his album “Creek Water” later that year. Columbia Records picked up Atha several years later and he released the single “Kickin’.” Atha’s luck with Columbia was short-lived however and he was dropped from the label.
Under Ghet-O Vison Entertainment Atha released four mixtapes from 2008-2010, the last one called “Trunk Muzik” which attracted the attention of Interscope Records. On 22 November 2010 the album was re-released as “Trunk Muzik 0-60.”
Along with a contract with Interscope Records, Atha was also signed to Eminem’s label Shady Records in 2011. His debut album on the label was “Radioactive” which was released on 21 November 2011 after a few leaked songs were removed from the final playlist. “Radioactive” reached #27 on the Billboard 200.
Yelawolf’s most recent album “Love Story” came out in 2014 with single “Till It’s Gone” making an appearance on the television hit “Sons of Anarchy” soundtrack. Atha attributes his love for classic rock to his mother whose favorite bands 10,000 Maniacs, Led Zeppelin, REO Speedwagon and Yes inspire him in his own songwriting.
Live reviews
Had tix to see him 2 nights in a row. Second night he had a meltdown (two actually) and wouldn’t play because he was upset the show wasn’t sold out (venue was pretty full, IMHO). Trashed the stage and walked off after 10 total minutes on stage and 2 songs (and 30 minute wait in between while they rebuilt everything after his first tantrum). So my observations are from the full show that I did see.
1. he plays his songs pretty much in order of the albums, even mentioning the albums to introduce the songs that are to follow
2. Most reading this know that his first two albums were rap and the next two are some sort of country. Plays songs from Trunk Muzic and Radioactive then leaves the stage like the show is over, comes back a minute later and plays songs from the two country albums
3. Watching him spit those lyrics rapid fire in the first half of the show is an absolutely incredible thing to see live. I had chills. He’s an incredible talent
4. Plays only the first verse of many of the rap songs. So its like a bunch of mini songs, 30-45 seconds each. I mean, I guess I can kind of understand it on songs that feature another artist - like Box Chevy, he ends the song where Rittz’s verse would start. But Daddy’s Lambo has no other artists on it, and he only plays one verse.
5. Didn’t play Hard White. Thought that was his signature party anthem. That shocked me.
Back to him walking out and not playing because the show wasn’t sold out…I saw Snow tha Product in San Jose where the power went out on her about a half dozen times. Singing and dancing then, Boom complete silence as all the audio cut out. Over and over this happened! She was pissed, had harsh words for the venue, called them out on some other bullshit they said to her before the show and ultimately they called the cops on her, but…had love for the fans and gutted through the performance and played for 2 hours in shitty conditions. What a contrast. Yelawolf built his fan base on his rap music, so he’s gonna get pissed because those people don’t support his move to country music? Really, that’s a surprise to him?

I missed most of the opening act, but was pleasantly surprised that Rittz was one of the openers for Yela. I somehow missed that when I bought the tickets, but since I began liking Yela and Rittz due to a lot of their work they've done together, that was an awesome bonus to see Rittz! He did an awesome job of warming the crowd up with his high-energy/rapid flows.
The sound was very good and clean at the Granada (Lawrence, KS).
My buddy and I kept wondering throughout the openers what the large object was that was covered up in the middle of the stage (is it a bed? is it a hot-tub? what exactly was this prop and when would it be used?), but once Yela came onstage and the prop was revealed (no spoiler here) it all made sense. Yela's country sense of fashion was a little strange, but it worked for him given his small-town country roots and rock-a-billie/rap past.
Due to some of the different sounds Yela has been coming with lately (more slow songs, less fast raps lately), I actually was prepared for a letdown and didn't expect him to cover a lot of the old fan-favorites from Trunk Muzik and Radioactive.
For some reason, I expected Yela to be overly cocky and do whatever he felt like doing.
I was dead wrong.
He was a crowd pleaser, very in tune with the crowd's wants/needs, and he KILLED IT on the old Trunk Muzik/Radioactive joints as well as some new and old stuff as well. Loved the show, and was very impressed with the quality of all artists and their perforamances!
I first heard of Yelawolf from his first album Trunk Muzik 0-60, which was okay but his music got better after releasing Radioactive in 2011 when Eminem took him under his wing, his music took off.
Yelawolf has sick beats and rhymes, and all of his works is fresh. He raps with a purpose and gets his points across when he raps like a boss. I saw Yelawolf in one of his concerts in a smaller venue, the crowd loves him, hes got such great crowd interaction and gets the crowd hype.
He has that personality that keeps the crowd entertained, a true entertainer. He loves what he does, hes got the skills and he shows it on stage. He does a lot of songs for the little amount of time he plays for, he gets it all in there, gets in his talking, and does his thing, he does not stop until he is done.
I saw Yelawolf for the second time a couple of months ago. I paid for Yela just so I could see Rittz open the show,which was killer!! Yela's set was as expected...daddys lambo,pop the trunk and so forth. He sounded great but the set was a bit weaker than the first time I saw him.As it was an all ages show AGAIN!,it was waaaaaay too short in my opinion.Yela should rock the venue til close for 35 bucks!Def gonna catch Rittz next time around,but I;m probably gonna skip Yelawolf when he passes thru...unless Rittz is the opener,that dude spits fire nonstop! So, all in all yela's a good live show ,but once ya seen it there's no need to repeat cause its basically the same exact set list and show. Save your dough and use it to buy some Rittz CD'S. Dueces ya'll!
While it took a while for things to get going, they certainly got crazy once he arrived! Yelawolf is a flawless performer, and any fan of his music will love his concert. Hillbilly casino was fantastic, since, even though I don't LOVE their music, they were entertaining and energetic enough to create a memorable performance. My only two complaints are one, that the set for hillbilly casino took forever to get set up, and two, he didn't play enough music from the album, which I really wanted to hear. He played a lot of "psycho white", "trunk muzik", and not much else. Otherwise this was a great experience from a great artist.
Yelawolf was GREAT!! Will definitely go again! RITTZ was just as good. I loved the fact that, not only sis they entertain us, Yelawolf interacted with us! The entire event, from the waiting outside to the very end was memorable! More artists could learn a thing or two from them!
It was awesome to see Yelawolf bring an audience member up to perform one of his songs, move people in the crowd so those who wanted to josh could, and when he brought Teddy up to be "tossed" to the crowd to surf! It was all just so amazing!!! Definitely a one to go to for anyone!
That was the most amazing concert I've ever gone too. The balcony seats were amazing. Amazing veiw, made some new friends. I'm only 14 and all the drunk dudes up there thought it was awesome that I knew the words and hey a little self esteem boost Is great for everybody. I got this new sweatshirt so I can show off my slumerican pride and it's just awesome. I even got my dad to start listening to YelaWolf. Just a great time. The food from the restraint down stairs was great too. Chicken was bomb.
2 nights for the 2 Carolina shows! The meet and greet was way cool. I even got Cambo's number!!!!
2 difgerent sets. The energy at the Asheville shown wasinfectious. Yelawolf was a great performer! So talented and true to his music and fans!
I highly reccommend seeing a show. Well worth the time and distance to hang out and see his show!
Yelawolf was amazing but the sound system in the venue sucked even Yelawolf destroyed two microphones and threw them into the crowd comparing the sound to a Starbucks I don’t think He’ll ever play this venue again and he went through a great catalog of songs and hung in there even though I thought he would might walk off stage before the end
What tje f*^k happened? The man walked off stage after 40 minutes of GREAT performance!!! He dropped the mic and just walked out, leaving his fans with at least 9 unsung songs from the 2020 tour. He did not even perform a single song from his new album, which was kinda strange, since the tour’s name is Ghetto cowboy tour... Very disappointed!

Wu-Tang Clan and Yelawolf Team Up on UK Tour
(Photo: Bill Auth /Landov)
The Wu-Tang Clan is bringing Shaolin to the UK, and they're taking Yelawolf with them.
The Wu announced a five-date tour across the pond on April 14, and the latest Shady Records signee is on board as an opening act.
As anyone who's ever been to a Wu-Tang show knows, just which members of the Clan will show up on any given night can sometimes be a mystery, but the legendary crew told Soul Culture that the whole team will be out in full force. Not only that, but a special guest is planned for the shows: Second generation Wu member and Ol' Dirty Bastard's son, Young Dirty Bastard.
Britain's DJ Semtex is on deck to motivate the crowd for each one of the shows. The tour starts on June 11, a week after Raekwon gets finished with his Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang tour here in the states.

YELAWOLF Kicks Off Exciting New Era With Single & Video For “Everything”
Gearing up for what promises to be an unforgettable era, Alabama-born and Nashville-based multiplatinum chart-topping artist, entrepreneur, and Slumerican Founder Yelawolf returns with a brand new single and music video entitled “Everything” out today. Listen HERE and watch the video HERE via Slumerican.
He comes out swinging and puts everyone on notice with an incisive and infectious flow. Produced by WLPWR [Wiz Khalifa, Eminem, Travis Barker], bass groans as the keys cycle in an ominous loop. Against this tense backdrop, Yelawolf clears the air and delivers his own state of the union.
He exhales, “I hear people from time to time tell me that I’m underrated or underappreciated. To a certain extent, that’s flattery and endearing, but I also use it as a source of inspiration to keep fucking y’all up.”
With a sticky cadence, his words weigh down on the beat as he urges, “Take off the brakes, I’m raising hell to live in heaven’s dreams, put on that rock ‘n’ roll wedding ring.”
Directed by Patrick Tohill and shot in Nashville, the accompanying visual reflects this raw mood. The black-and-white clip sees Yelawolf arrive at an abandoned building like a general decked out in Saint Laurent head-to-toe, presiding over a group of friends and affiliates ready for anything. This cohort consists of WLPWR, Estevan Oriol, DJ Paul, Baldacci, Edward “OUNZE” Crowe, and others. Meanwhile, Wolf’s DJ and two-time US Disco mix club champion DJ Klever pilots the turntables with ace-level precision, augmenting the beat with slick scratching.
“I don’t care if people fucking sleep on me. I’m still the same old me. I’m not worried about any of these fools. That’s the real. The video is amazing. With the black-and white, it’s very Ansel Adams. We have beautiful cars, and everyone is well-dressed juxtaposed to these projects. I’m just speaking my mind.” — Yelawolf on “Everything”
“Everything” just sets the stage for more to come.
Last fall, he initially teased this chapter during an intimate secret listening session. SPIN professed, “One thing is immediately clear—Yelawolf never abandoned his hip-hop roots. The culture is part of his DNA, pumping through his veins and busting at the seams to get out.”
Yelawolf is prepared for war in 2024…
MORE ABOUT YELAWOLF:
Continuing a wild ride from humble beginnings in Gadsen, Alabama to the forefront of popular culture, Yelawolf certainly has a lot to say. The Nashville-based multiplatinum chart-topping artist, entrepreneur, and Slumerican Founder has consistently asserted himself as an outlier and outlaw without comparison. He catalyzed his breakthrough via Radioactive (rated a coveted “4.5-out-of-5 stars” by The Source). The gold-certified Love Story bowed at #3 on the Billboard 200 highlighted by platinum singles “Till It’s Gone” and “Best Friend” [feat. Eminem]. He maintained his momentum with Trial By Fire and Ghetto Cowboy, spawning the platinum-certified “You and Me.” He emerged as the rare artist versatile enough to deliver The Slumdon Bridge EP with Ed Sheeran and Psycho White EP with Travis Barker. A$AP Rocky, Big Boi, blink-182, Eminem, Juicy J, Korn, and Tech N9ne have sought him out for verses. His albums have welcomed Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Wynonna Judd, Kid Rock, Killer Mike, Raekwon, and Diplo. Frequent collaborator Jelly Roll pledged his allegiance with Slumerican ink! Plus, Slumerican’s catalog expanded with releases by DJ Paul and Struggle Jennings. In 2022, he dropped his full-length rock LP, Sometimes Y , with multi-GRAMMY® Award-winning producer and artist Shooter Jennings. Yelawolf has built Slumerican into a worldwide merchandise empire and his Creek Water Whiskey into a nationally distributed spirits brand, performed on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, guested on MTV’s Ridiculousness, appeared in Peanut Butter Falcon, and toured with Deftones and more. However, he ups the ante in 2024 with more to come.
Jason Price founded the mighty Icon Vs. Icon more than a decade ago. Along the way, he’s assembled an amazing group of like-minded individuals to spread the word on some of the most unique people and projects on the pop culture landscape.

“Yelawolf and Shooter Jennings’ Sometimes Y makes rock & roll sound fresh again, by pairing the rapper’s rapid-fire lyricism with the producer’s affinity for synths and stabbing guitars.” – Rolling Stone “In the pantheon of hip-hop, few artists stand out like Yelawolf. Stylistically, [he] has worn his varied influences on his sleeve, drawing from country music, hip-hop, rock, and metal.” – Hot New Hip Hop “Yelawolf has built his Slumerican brand and earned success by staying true to his core and telling it straight, no chaser.” – Complex “[Yelawolf] delivers gripping hip-hop records dipped in rock and roll.” – VIBE “[Yelawolf’s] spitfire flow and impeccable wordplay does not go unnoticed, and his love for the art shines through with each release.” – Flaunt

Ja Rule denied entry to the UK - days before tour starts
Rapper Ja Rule has said he has been denied entry into the UK, days before the start of his tour. The first leg was set to kick off in Cardiff on Friday.
Wednesday 28 February 2024 12:28, UK
US rapper Ja Rule says he is "devastated" after being denied entry to the UK - days before his tour begins.
The Livin' It Up star, whose real name is Jeffrey Bruce Atkins Senior, is due to kick off his Sunrise tour in Cardiff on Friday before further gigs in Liverpool, Nottingham, Leeds, Birmingham and London.
But he says he won't be on stage because he is not allowed to enter the country due to his criminal record, having previously served two years in prison on gun and tax evasion charges.
"I'm so devastated. I can't believe the UK won't let me in," he wrote on X, adding he's spent a "half million dollars in production" of his own money to put the tour together.
"This is not fair to me or my fans, these venues are 85% sold and now I can't come."
Tickets for the shows are still available on Ticketmaster - and he said on Wednesday that he made his criminal record clear to the promoter beforehand.
He encouraged fans to ask for refunds and promised he will do "something special" for his UK fans as he will "never be able to come across the pond".
"The UK is one of the few European countries that restricts entry to people with criminal records," he posted.
"In general, you will likely be denied entry if you have been convicted of a crime punishable by 23 months or more under British law or served more than 12 months in prison."
Ticketmaster told Sky News that refunds for the cancelled show will be processed automatically, and initially told fans online that "once we receive confirmed info an email will be sent to all customers for the event".

Ja Rule - best known for hits such as Always On Time and Thug Lovin' - was due to be supported on the tour by Mya, Keri Hilson and Lloyd.
The rapper was previously at the centre of controversy over the doomed Fyre Festival , but was cleared of any legal wrongdoing.

Glasgow Willy Wonka experience called a ‘farce’ as tickets refunded
Event billed as immersive ‘celebration of chocolate’ cancelled after children left in tears at sparsely decorated warehouse
It was billed as a “celebration of chocolate in all its delightful forms” but ended up a tragic tale worthy of an Oompa-Loompa song.
Police were called to a venue in Glasgow last weekend after furious families who had spent hundreds of pounds on the Willy’s Chocolate Experience complained about the “awful” event that left children in tears and was abruptly cancelled midway through.
The event organiser, House of Illuminati, which charged up to £35 for tickets, promised an “immersive experince” based on the Warner Bros film Wonka, which stars Timothée Chalamet as the young chocolate entrepreneur and was an instant hit with children and grownups over the festive period.
The event publicity promised giant mushrooms, candy canes and chocolate fountains, along with special audio and visual effects, all narrated by dancing Oompa-Loompas – the tiny, orange men who power Wonka’s chocolate factory in the Roald Dahl book which inspired the prequel film.
But instead, when eager families turned up to the address in Whiteinch, an industrial area of Glasgow, they discovered a sparsely decorated warehouse with a scattering of plastic props, a small bouncy castle and some backdrops pinned against the walls.
After an immediate and angry response from early arrivals who demanded their money back, organisers called a halt to the event only hours after opening, but failed to inform later attenders, some of whom had travelled substantial distances and are now demanding their train costs be refunded too.
A Facebook group has been set up by furious families, who described their children crying with disappointment at the event which was scheduled to run on Saturday and Sunday and lambasted the event as a “farce” and the organisers as “cowboys”.
Police Scotland confirmed that officers had been called to the venue after complaints.
Paul Connell, an actor who had been hired by the company to perform at the event, told STV News of his shock when he arrived at the warehouse and realised that the rubric he had been given was impossible to fulfil because none of the promised props or special effects were there.
“My heart sank looking around … I just felt sad because I was aware of how many kids were going to be coming through.
“We were told to hand the kids a couple of jelly beans and a quarter cup of lemonade at the end.”
Connell said that when he asked the organisers what he should do with the script he was told to improvise.
In a statement, House of Illuminati apologised to customers for the “very stressful and frustrating day”.
“Unfortunately, last minute we were let down in many areas of our event and tried our best to continue on and push through and now realise we probably should have cancelled first thing this morning instead,” it said.
The organisers confirmed that full refunds would be given to customers, which could take up to 10 days.

'wonka' experience in uk leaves parents outraged, demanding refund, willy wonka pop-up factory experience a bust ... parents outraged, 1.1k 2/27/2024 8:45 am pt.
A Willy Wonka pop-up attraction in the UK turned out to be underwhelming for families who thought they'd be going through an intricate chocolate factory -- and the pics are wild.
Get this ... families who were promised a "delectable" chocolate fountain and "whimsical" Oompa Loompas at 'Willy's Chocolate Experience' in Glasgow, Scotland ended up in a relatively empty warehouse where they were greeted with a sad sight -- just take a look.
Photos of the "factory" have been circulating online -- and most everyone agrees ... this so-called recreated experience was definitely oversold, and that's how parents feel as well.
As you can see ... the space where people were told they'd be treated to an awesome time was scant and pretty bare -- with an inflatable rainbow, a lonely bouncy castle, and a few other half-hearted decorations scattered about, and some frumpy actors on hand too.
Check out this photo of one of the Oompa Loompas hired to role-play for this attraction -- it's a sad sight. Reports have surfaced claiming the cast members were handed scripts the night before, and then told to improvise on the spot.
One parent, Aileen Butcher , called the whole debacle an "absolute disgrace" ... telling the Daily Record it took all of one minute to walk through this thing, which also included a lone table strewn with jelly beans. The tickets were reportedly about $35 a pop.
Another parent, Stuart Sinclair , spilled all the beans on FB ... explaining he traveled two hours for the event, only for his kids to walk away with two measly jelly babies and a quarter of a can of Barr limeade.
It was apparently quite a scene in the would-be chocolate factory ... actors were reportedly up in arms, as were the parents ... many of whom confronted the owner and demanded refunds. Cops reportedly even had to get involved in all this to settle everyone down.
Organizers House of Illuminati have since apologized for the "stressful and frustrating day."
They acknowledged that canceling it earlier might've spared everyone a lot of frustration ... and have since issued 850 refunds. Yeah, this definitely wasn't a golden ticket idea. 😅
