Biography

Michael Wayne Atha (born December 30, 1979), better known by his stage name Yelawolf, is an American rapper. He is currently signed to Shady Records, Ghet-O-Vision Entertainment and Interscope Records. He is co-managed by Redd Klay Entertainment along with his personal manager Jeremy “J Dot” Jones.

Raised in Gadsden, Alabama, Atha appeared on the reality series The Road to Stardom with Missy Elliott and released his independent debut album Creek Water in 2005. Two years later, Atha signed to Columbia Records and released the single “Kickin’” from his unreleased first studio album, before being released from the label later that same year. From 2008 to 2010, Atha released an extended play and four mixtapes with Ghet-O-Vision Entertainment. Trunk Muzik 0-60, Atha’s fourth mixtape, was also released by Interscope Records. In 2011, Atha signed to Shady Records and his debut studio album Radioactive was released on November 21, 2011 to positive reviews. It entered the Billboard 200 at number 27. He spent much of his childhood in various locations around the southern United States, including Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Atlanta, Georgia, and Antioch, Tennessee.

Atha is half white and Cherokee, and the name Yelawolf is a reference to his Native American roots.

Yelawolf is an avid skateboarder and made attempts at a professional skateboarding career but was forced to abandon due to injuries. Yelawolf began releasing mixtapes independently in 2007. He was briefly signed to Columbia Records in 2007 and left the label the same year.

    Trunk Muzik Returns slays hard. Even the weakest track on it is better than 90% of the rest of rap anymore. Do have to say that Big Henry has the absolute best verse on the entire album though... "Ever look in the eyes of a G? Cold cold world is what you gon' see. When cash slow up, masks go on, chevy slow up thats how its gon' be. Game so hot that a nigga might melt, OG stripes up under my belt, do it by myself don't need no help. 5-9 hoover nigga hat to the left. Big Henry bitch, nobody else. Ten toes down, march nigga step. If I pop the trunk, imma pop me a chump, leave a nigga slumped with his chin in his chest. Bang bang bang real G shit."

    Yela and Rittz should make a collabo album. Box Chevy, Sleep At Night, Growin' Up In The Gutter are dope as fuck.

    This project doesn't have any weak track. It was a such good feeling to hear Yela in fresh sound again. I can't wait to Love Story

    Trunk Muzik Returns is nice. Great comeback after kinda shitty Radioactive.

    You trippin guys. Trunk Muzik Returns is far away from what Trunk Muzik was. He fell off with Radioactive (I tried hard to find sumthin good in there) and he's trying to fix it, but he hasn't done it yet. Maybe he will. Tennesse Love is one of his greatest tracks ever tho.

    Trunk Muzik Returns is incredible. I'm really happy he hasn't fallen off yet.

    Trunk Muzik Returns seems like it's better than the original Trunk Muzik after the first listen.

    Amazing mixtape, fucking amazing. Dope tracks, excellent climate and narcotic sound. I can hear Yela like this every day.
