The latest signing to Eminem's Shady Records label, Yelawolf will play his debut UK shows in Manchester and London this June. At the start of his career he competed on the 2005 reality series The Road to Stardom which also featured Missy Elliott. Yelawolf first signed to a major label when he inked a deal with Columbia Records in 2007, but was he was unfortunately released from the label the same year.
Following his debut UK shows and release of album Radioactive last year, Yelawolf has announced a full tour for May including a show at London's Electric Ballroom. Radioactive is Yelawolf's opportunity to open up and share some of the non-musical experiences that have made him the man and artist he is today. For as volatile as it sounds, the actual dictionary term for 'radioactive' leaves a lot to the imagination. But just as he does with every word he spits, Ghet-O-Vision / Shady recording artist Yelawolf gives it new life and meaning. Making it a fitting title for his official debut album.
Envision a humid world of slow-rolling Monte Carlos and slaughter houses; meth labs and rusting Mossbergs, inked up arms and haircuts that look like theyve been chopped by hatchets. Trunk muzik. Southern Pine trees, smoking pine, and pine boxes. Call him Catfish Billy or Yelawolf; just dont go make him go pop the trunk on you.
