Yelawolf Opens Up On War Story, Trunk Muzik 4Ever & His Position In The Culture | Podcast

Aight Analysts, this week I had the opportunity to sit down with Yelawolf. His newest release "War Story" and "Trunk Muzik 4Ever" are out now, so check them out if you missed it. In this conversation we talk about him being the innovator in this newest wave of country rap crossovers, the impact he had on artists like Ed Sheeran, Post Malone, and Jelly Roll, and more. In a particularly revealing moment, he describes what he learned culturally from his clash with Royce Da 5'9.
