Music of the Day: Yelawolf - Down

Yelawolf, born Michael Wayne Atha in Gadsden, AL, made his major label debut with Eminem’s Shady Records (Interscope) in 2011 after building a rabid fanbase that caught the attention of critics and label execs alike. The rapper, songwriter, performer and entrepreneur has released new music relentlessly and travelled around the world performing sold out shows across the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. His first five full-length albums and various side projects have featured collaborations with a wide variety of top artists including Eminem, Ed Sheeran, Travis Barker, Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gucci Mane, Kendrick Lamar, Diplo, A$AP Rocky, Kid Rock, 3.6 Mafia, Big Boi, KillerMike, Wynonna Judd, among others. With his faithful and ever-expanding following, Yelawolf has cultivated a global community with his lifestyle brand Slumerican. His sixth studio album Ghetto Cowboy is available now via his own Slumerican Records, and has included extensive touring in both the US and internationally in its support.
