Profession
In 2005, Yelawolf and Missy Elliott entered the spotlight as contestants in UPN’s “Road to Stars”. His first album CreekWater was released in June 2005. He also self-released his first mixtape Pissin’ in a Barrel of Beez (2005). The rise of Yelawolf earned him a recording contract with Columbia Records. His first single on the label is called “Kickin”. Soon after, he was removed from the label. Not bothered by Colombia’s decision, Yella Wolff returned to the underground scene. His EP Trunk Muzik 0-60 came out in 2010. He finally got a place in Eminem’s Shady Records in 2011.

In 2012, Yelawolf and Ed Sheeran released EP’The Slumdon Bridge’, and Travis Barker released’Psycho White’. In 2013, he and Hopsin participated in the “F*ck It” tour held in Phoenix, Arizona from November 14th to November 23rd in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Yelawolf founded his own hip-hop record company “Slumerican” in 2012. Current members include DJ Paul and Three 6 Mafia. Their first project, Black Fall (2013), was released as a free download. Yelawolf’s third album Love Story was released in April 2015. It ranks third in the Billboard 200, has obtained the gold certification, and sold more than 100,000 copies. This album was supported by Eminem’s singles “Box Chevy V”, “Till It’s Gone”, “Whisky in a Bottle” and “Best Friend”. His non-album single “Out of Control” with Travis Barker was released in 2016.
Yelawolf’s fourth album “Trial by Fire” premiered in October 2017 and was exclusively produced by him. Album sales were very low, only 12,000 copies were sold in the first week.
