Yelawolf is back with Trunk Muzik 3, his official follow-up to 2017’s Trial By Fire. Comprised of 14 tracks, the project serves as the Alabama rapper’s final album under the Shady Records umbrella.
Guest spots include Machine Gun Kelly, Rittz, DJ Paul and DJ Klever as well as production from DJ Paul, Jim Jonsin and Ms Madli. The MGK collaboration might raise a few eyebrows considering Yelawolf included him in the “Bloody Sunday Freestyle” diss track.
In the song, he takes shots at Post Malone and G-Eazy but simply spits “Trunk Muzik 3 bruh, you gon’ know how I feel about MGK” when referencing Kelly. Evidently, he and MGK are allies despite him dissing Eminem, the Shady Records boss.
Although the title of the album indicates it’s the third installment in the Trunk Muzik series, it’s technically the fourth. It follows 2009’s Trunk Muzik mixtape, its subsequent 2010 reissue Trunk Muzik 0-60 and 2013’s Trunk Muzik Returns.

Yelawolf has finally revealed the release date for his impending album, Trunk Muzik 3. According to a press release. the project arrives via Slumerican/Shady Records/Interscope on Friday (March 29).
This marks the Alabama-bred rapper’s fifth album for the Shady machine and follow-up to 2017’s Trial By Fire.
“Trunk Muzik 3 is my third installment to the Trunk Muzik series,” he said in the press release. “The album gets back to these 808’s and classic southern rap cadences. Of all the album styles and songs I’ve released over the years, this was the funnest project to make.
“I’m inspired again! And I’m proud to be releasing it with my SHADY family … time to fuck shit up and GET BUCK !!!”

Yelawolf made a return to the spotlight last Sunday (March 10) with his “Blood Sunday” freestyle, which found him taking shots at Post Malone, G-Eazy and Machine Gun Kelly. As a result, Post tweeted he thought Yelawolf was a “nerd” and Yelawolf replied by calling him an “asshole” while thanking him for his support.
As part of the album announcement, the self-proclaimed Ghetto Cowboy also launched Creek Water, his new boutique whiskey brand named after his independently released 2005 debut album. Yelawolf maintains full control of Creek Water’s packaging, branding and marketing.
“Our market is a working-class market,” he said. “[It] represents an artistic, expressive, and loud character…downplaying the importance of the whiskey and instead shining light on the drinker, and the good time that comes along with it.”
Yelawolf is currently on a U.S Tour and plays Ft. Lauderdale, Florida on Friday night (March 15).

LET’S GO! Don’t. Make. Me. Go. Pop. The. Trunk. On youuuuu….
Only if you aren’t white..Let’s not be typical.
I think it’s his 3rd album on Shady Records
Fourth I think. Radioactive was his first, then Love Story, then Trial by Fire (which got very little press for some reason), and this. I don’t know why they said fifth. The first Trunk Muzik came out on Interscope, so that might be why they said “the shady machine”, or maybe the project with Travis Barker was on shady.
I think they include Trunk Muzik 0-60 since it’s under Interscope and I THINK Pop The Trunk was on Shady XV on the greatest hits side
5th. Radioactive. Love Story. Hotel. Trial By Fire. TM3
Why do you keep saying he took shots at mgk? They posted pics together, mgk mentioned wolf on rap devil, wolf has a verse from mfk on this album…. i mean, i wish he would roast the lil punk though.
He didn’t go at MgK. They are friends. He is featured on the new album…..
Slum
New album is fire fire
Cant wait.. the freestyles Yela been dropping have been heat! Hope the album is the same
Can someone confirm those tour dates?
? Go google it idiot
Album is straight fire! Yela killin it!
Album’s fire. But, somehow I don’t even want to hear a word out of mgk’s mouth. I heard his verse and laughed for 5 minutes straight
Still no mention of the snow goons cd that just dropped fuck this website already
.. we need a website that supports real hip hop
Snow goons?
Haha that’s exactly what I was thinking. I’m critical of most hip hop nowadays but this album is good.
RIP Shawty Fatt best feature on the album. Too bad these bum asses that post never had the chance
When did Yela and MGK become friends? They used to be beed years ago.
So he turning his back on em?
Slum. This album is fire!!!!!
Mgk was already featured on the album before the Em beef blew up. And no he’s not turning his back on Em or Shady, same way Rittz didn’t turn his back on Strange Music. You reach an age where as an entrepreneur in music, given the “indy” route that’s developed with music streaming and youtube, you should be pushing your own label. He started Slumerican years ago, has a bunch of artists under him (Bubba sparx, DJ Paul, and a bunch of smaller artists). Em gave him the artistic freedom to make the type of albums he wanted instead of what the label would have wanted. He used the Shady brand to gain exposure over the years. He’s come into his own over the years, his style is much more comfortable and true to who he is as a person and artist. Only makes sense to go on his own. He’s been working on his next solo album under his own label. Box Chevy will be released outside the Shady imprint. Lookin’ good Yela, freestyles were all crazy, great energy, album should be fire too!
Nah that’s disloyalty. Could of cut that shit! I would of. Take food out of his and his family mouth.
Thanks for the write up, Yelawolf
We Slum….man….this album was dope to me from start to finish. I like that he kept the song. I like that Em let him keep the song. Em gave him something most egotistical label heads wouldn’t, absolute artistic freedom. He did the same with Boogie and I think that kids album along with yela’s 4 outta 5 (I think radioactive was kinda disappointing imo) are the best work on Shady. Who else has done straight up their own thing? Em really let go of the reigns after radioactive and let yela grow as a true artist. I dont much carw for MGK but I think he held his own on the song and it wasnt a worse song for him being on it. And it was definitely good for business 🙂
When it echos
This the yelawolf i like to hear the last two was disappointing i glad he back to catfish billy ?
Love Story was a classic
