Yelawolf has released Ghetto Cowboy, his first album since leaving Shady Records. The LP is the follow-up to Trunk Muzik 3, which dropped in March.

Yelawolf is closing out October with a new album. The Slumerican MC has announced Ghetto Cowboy, his first LP since leaving Shady Records, is scheduled to drop on Halloween (October 31).
“This Ghetto Cowboy album has been the most gratifying to me as an artist being that it’s my first indie release on my own label,” he said in a press release. “I have no one to answer to and that can be a scary responsibility.”
Ghetto Cowboy will be Yelawolf’s second LP of 2019. In March, he concluded his run on Shady with the third entry in his Trunk Muzik series.
“After Love Story, Trial By Fire and then Trunk Muzik 3, I feel like I got a well-rounded project that speaks to all the fans; Hip Hop, rock’n’roll, and southern fans alike,” the veteran artist stated. “I ain’t reinventing the wheel here, just doing what I love to do, doing what I think is dope and original. I never want to stop challenging the genre or the listener or become complacent or settled cause that’s boring as fuck to me and the fans. G.C. is unapologetic, brutally honest and at times completely vulnerable.”

Dope. I loved Trial by Fire and thought it was extremely underrated, but there were maybe 3 good songs on TM3. Maybe when he gets full creative control he’ll come with a classic. I wonder if him and Em even get along. How’s he on the label and Em had no input or features on his last two albums? Plus he did a song with mgk.
The MGK song was made way before the beef happened.
I read on some youtube comments thats yelawolf made some racist remark to kid vishis and then royce stepped up and it havnt been the same since with yela and em, but couldnt find no mentions of it else where
This is absolutely false. Yelawolf has never and would never say anything racist to anyone. If someone around him did, then I am 100% sure Yela would take care of it like a man and a human being, and definitely wouldn’t air it out on social media. Yelawolf’s contract with Shady ended and now he’s off to be his own boss and will continue to show respect and love to Eminem and Shady — just like 50 Cent
Amen!!!
Yela also has mixed kids, so how the hell people still think he’s a racist?
Thomas Jefferson has mixed kids too IJS ??♂️
He was featured on Prhyme 2, so unless this was super recent I’m calling BS.
Nah, there were few weak tracks on TM3 or you have some weird standards. At the very least half were top bangers, a few more were good and 2-3 were skippable.
Didn’t Bone thugs already do the Ghetto Cowboy concept?? For a song
That was Mo Thugs you prick.
Bone thugs was Mo thugs, it was their record label. So that would be like you calling me a prick if I said didn’t Master P do something like this already, and you come back and say that was No Limit, REALLY………. People only followed any thing Mo thugs did because of Bone thugs.
That’s a lame answer man. Bone and Mo Thugs are two different groups. All of bone thugs are not in mo thugs, and clearly vice versa you moron. So take the loss, this is hiphop and facts need to stay 100!!
Finders keepers G
Yea but their version went #1 on the charts
TM3 was great but it looks like his new Album will only be DIGITAL again . Damn…..
we want CD’s bi*ch!!
Unnatural Born Killer wasn’t that great. Already tired of hearing it.
Love Story is his best work no doubt.
He needs to just release a freestyle album. It is definitely his strength.
I am pretty sure the freestyles to hype TM3 were more successful than the album.
Eminem shelved this guys career. He is a super talented MC but his time has passed. Eminem signed him and waited for his light to burn out.
Yep he had a buzz and never took full opportunity of it now he’s indy again seems like moving backwards to me
you got no idea how the system works in 2019. Its not about being on a huge label anymore man.
I’m calling BS on this stupid statement… Yela released like 5 albums on Shady and was on the label for like 8 years.. Em supported this dude when NO ONE else did..
This dude never should have been on Shady in the first place. WEAK AF but I think Em just needed a new white rapper because people were getting tired of him and let’s be honest his must started going downhill after Marshall Mathers LP. All these white rappers suck MGK, Mac Miller etc. All watered down whitened hip hop for the white people that buy albums.
Bro what are you talking about… Mac was one of the most artistic rappers in hip hop, MGK is lyrical as shit, and saying Eminem went down hill after MMLP is asinine.. how old are you kid..
Hahahahahahah yo I’m not with the racist shit, but MGK is wack as fuck! And you making Mac sound like he was Outkast… Sorry kid, we just have references that set high standards… Not too many in this generation can keep up!
No hate but mac’s career was pretty much over and his life was spiraling.
LMFAO all for people liking what they like but… to say “MGK is lyrical as shit” is downright hilarious. say hes a good rapper or entertainer but lyrical? lol git kid
I cant wait not to buy this
These days being indie is actually the best path to take after being Major. You got the show out and built a fanbase on Shady. Now he gets to take home way more $ from the project and have full creative control. A lot of the commenters don’t really know how bad labels suck all the profits from the artist. But in return gets their name out with marketing. Wolf doesn’t get that advantage but at this level of his career that aspect isn’t as mandatory. He got the Shady nod and was on that label eight years. That’s a longer run than most artists. After TM3, I’m really excited for this project. Ready for a classic Atha.
All you motherfuckers critiquing Yelawolf in the comment section are ridiculous! The old Eminem should of never signed him he makes trash line is played out. Trunk Muzik 3 was high quality hop hop, if you cannot hear that, you must be fucking deaf. This record is going to deliver as well. This is real hip-hop, not that bullshit!
yelawolfs kids are black. So is his wife. Nice try pulling the race card though.
his kids are mixed. so is his wife. That means they are way more white than black. But nice try, kid.
You think that shit matters to a fucking racist? If a racist has an exuse to act like a piece of shit it doesnt matter what percentage of what you are. They are gonna act like a piece of shit.
Heard the first 7 songs and so far so good. Yelawolf seems mad focused on this one and the beats are dope. Its like he saved the best for his idependent venture.
Great album. His best since Love Story. Yela a beast. So underrated.
i loved Love Story, Trial By Fire didnt have much replay value for me(the songs werent bad but for some reason i didnt feel it), TM3 i disliked, Ghetto Cowboy is dope. Had it on repeat the whole day at work
You need to revisit Trial by Fire. It might be one of those that you don’t like until you hear it later. Because I felt the same way about TM3 but thought TBF was his best one on Shady.
Im actually planning on going through his whole discography again, my fav yela song is on TBF though – daylight
wolf is great but he needs a guidance producer.
On my third playthrough now. To me this is his best effort yet. Literally not one song I dislike on this project. Still hold Bandana or knowwhatumsayin as my AOTY but this one is at least top 5.
Ghetto cowboy? Sounds like he’s trying to profit off of that cowboy rap wave and he looks like an idiot doing it.
He been doing this cowboy thing for for years now sir you are late do some research before you open your mouth.
Yeah sorry dude you are way wrong here
You didn’t listen to it did you?
Yelawolf has been doing country rap years before anyone even heard of old town road. Listen to Till Its Gone, American You, Best Friend, Slumdon Bridge, or Heartbreak and you’ll see this man is great and not a copycat.
As others have said, he’s been on that for at least half a decade now. A few minutes of research would show you that.
Before judging Yela, you have to understand who he is. His environment and roots. He’s from Alabama, moved to Berkeley California and back to Alabama. All he knows is country, hip hop and skateboarding. His music reflects all of the above. He sticks to his roots and it shows in his music and that’s something people should appreciate. Many people are so quick to hate and dismiss but don’t realize how much time and effort it takes to make a single song. So much goes into it. Props to this album and the last 3 projects before this. My man Yelawolf stuck to his roots the entire way through and embraced it because that’s what makes him different. He’s not a regular artist and that’s what makes him dope. Slumerican
Album is dope, I’ll be bumping it all weekend. He’s matured into his own lane. Been a fan for a long time, and loved everything since Radioactive. He’s been on a great creative vibe the last few years. Slum!
album is flames. ya’ll r crazy.
Start working at home with our company . It’s the most-financially rewarding I’ve ever done. On Friday I got a gorgeous Audi 5 after having earned $36259 this last month. I actually started five months/ago and practically straight away was bringing in at least $96, per-hour. visit this site right here.
