Yelawolf has revealed that he’s hard at work on new tunes and said it’s got the “classic trunk musik vibes” of his old music.
The Love Story rapper took to Instagram to announce that his next project would be titled Trunk Muzik 4 Ever, the follow-up to 2019’s Trunk Muzik 3. In a celebratory video, the Tennessee rhymer can be heard saying this next project would be strictly for the fans, and would honor his Hip Hop legacy.

“20 years man it’s crazy,” Yela said of his career. “It was ten years later before we landed on ‘Pop The Trunk’ to seal a deal at 30 years old. To be here now? Still making music? Trunk Muzik forever man. For my friends, family, my fans who’ve been around. I love you.”
“TRUNK MUZIK 4 EVER .. some classic T.M vibes from @wlpwr and I is under way !!!” Yelawolf added in the caption.
While no other details were immediately available, the original Trunk Muzik dropped back in 2010, with the mixtape’s lead single “Pop The Trunk” emerging as Yelawolf’s first chart-topping single. The track was eventually certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and led to Yelawolf getting signed to Shady Records, where he remains today.
A new Trunk Muzik project album would serve as a return to form for the rapper, whose last album Project Y with Shooter Jennings was a rock record.
“I knew better than to tell myself and to tell people that this was the end,” Yelawolf told HipHopDX of his Hip Hop career shortly before Project Y’s release. “You never know. You just don’t, and I love and will always love Hip Hop music and what it gave me in my relationships, friendships, career and all the opportunities, traveling the world. How could I ever turn my back on basically a family member?
“It’s not something you can just turn on and off but in order for me to do this at the best of my abilities, I have to compartmentalize and to not really close the door so. Shooter said something that made all the sense. He’s like, ‘If you think about it like a house, you just built another room on the house.’”

He continued, “And I was like, ‘Dude, yeah that’s it.’ That helped me make it make sense. I was even talking like, ‘Dude, should I just run with [government name] Michael Wayne? Should I even carry Yelawolf into this? Should I run my name?’ He’s like, ‘No, no, no dude. To carry that, you’re going to introduce your Hip Hop fans to something they never thought was coming.'”
