Yelawolf took to social media yesterday (September 22) to announce he is working on a new album, Trial By Fire.
The Alabama rapper says that he is returning to his roots on this project while blending what he loves about Hip Hop.
He says that he wrote a song called “Violin” with country singer Lee Brice.
This announcement comes after the April release of his sophomore LP, Love Story, which was released through his Slumerican label through Shady Records and Interscope.
Yelawolf details the importance of capturing ideas in the post, which was published on Instagram and Facebook. The post features an image of the rapper sitting under a tree in a cemetery. The full caption is below:
“It’s been a crazy week,” he says. “So much energy around me at all times. I’ve found peace and quite for most of my life at grave yards .. My Maw Maw used to take me .. We would just walk around and read stones … I write a lot of records here .. Today I wrote a record for @leebrice and I here .. Called ‘Violin’ … We’re supposed to be in the studio this evening .. Time to push all aside and get these ideas recorded .. Songs are like a passing speck of dust in the wind … If you don’t grab it and contain it .. It’ll be gone forever. With all my growth .. I can say returning to my roots has been the greatest blessing. Sharing that with what hip hop brought to my life … I’m forever grateful .. ‘Trial By Fire’ will be the title for my next album … Sharing this with you all today … Right now …. Cause who knows really … But I’m mentally ready to begin the next album … And the journey starts today. ⚡⚡⚡⚡ @shadyrecords INTERSCOPE #slumerican @fefedobsonofficial @kleversworld @bonesowens @spidysmith @jdotjones @rosenberg”
For additional Yelawolf coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
Love story was such a great album. he should distance himself from the hiphop label bc while he snice at rapping..his niche is the sound of his last album.
That would be his fourth I thought I have two solo studio albums not including his love story one. Plus a joint album with Travis Barker. So technically this would be his 5th studio album.
Which will be another flop just like his last 2.
Wrong.
Yes Loser.
No, you whiny little pussy
Would love to hear him do a track with Dirty Boyz.
Love Story was a really nice album, I just hope he does a joint album with Eminem cos that Best Friend song was/is dope and also the Eminem written Heartbreak.. I’m really one of his proud black fans!

Corn
who cares about this dude and his confederate flag waving ass.
Cool. Go do that Country shit because after your whole “its heritage, not hate” bullshit. I don’t want you reppin hiphop anymore…. all these MF get Famous off this shit then show they real colors..I dont give a damn what historical black Rappers co signed you in the past. IDFWY no more. Trashed the only shit Ive ever bought of yours TM.
He’s actually had a tattoo of the rebel flag for years… and he’s talked about it before this year…yet no one has a problem… but now it’s an issue because the media made the flag an issue after the shooting. He’s representing the good side of the flag. Gotta respect him for standing his ground.
@MRMR………………..stfu whiteboi
Cool he can have that im Sure its part of his state flag… But im talking about his and everyone elses regurgitated lame as exscuse..for why they represent it…Im from MS and Ive always thought the Heritage of what it stood for was wack soon as I found out what it stood for. And lets not use the exscuse of PT or lil john using it…its akin to flipping Nigg*r/nigga… What black person ever flew it Talking bout “Heratige not hate”?
All these butthurt fucking brotha’s on here mad because a white boy getting paid!
Yeah thats it….
fuck this pecker wood
Fuck you little dick!
Man I like yelawolf I hope dj Paul does his whole album black fall was a great album
Completely agree. I thought that was some of his best work. Dj Paul seems to know how to bring out the best in an artist. Can’t wait for the new Koopsta Knicca album produced by Dj Paul. Koop is a very underated and very talented artist. People sleep on him big time.
I can’t wait for it. “Love Story” is a great album. I think that is the real Yelawolf sound. Who cares where you stand on the confederate flag topic. Yeah Yelawolf is white in a HipHop culture that has been mostly a black culture. I didn’t grow up believing the confederate flag is apart of my heritage like Yelawolf so i’ll just respect your perspective on it. And at least you actually have the balls to stand behind what you believe in instead of doing what everyone else is doing based on political correctness and what is considered “racist”.
So you’re saying its ok to like and participate in the culture..but hold ignorant racist views towards the people who created it and their history pf oppression….as long as you have Balls and stand by your ignorance?….oh ok…you thought a drawn out response would make it sound better? Can’t shine shit no matter how hard you try.
Youre right, Most “racists” are married to African American women…. just like Yelawolf. Come on man… get some insight before blabbing nonsense.
And that reply was for Androi13
I can’t wait Love Story was the album of the year hands down Yelawolf is one of the best doing it!
Blablabla all jalous YELA is the best thats why you all taking about ?????
