Yelawolf presents his new track ‘Throw It Up’ from his upcoming album. Featuring Gangsta Boo and Eminem, it is certainly a great debut for the artist on Shady Records. His album releases November 21st, 2011. (Via TheFader)
Eminem joins Slaughterhouse (Joe Budden, Crooked I, Joell Ortiz and Royce Da 5’9) and Yelawolf for the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher where they spit over The East Flatbush Project’s “Tried By 12″ beat. Incredible.
We present the official music video for the Yelawolf song “No Hands” off of his upcoming album, Radioactive. Inspired by Ubisoft’s Driver San Francisco video game, the music video was shot at several of San Francisco’s landmark locations and features Yelawolf driving the real-life Driver car throughout the City by the Bay.
From a marketing perspective an interesting mash-up. Yelawolf gets a video produced and Ubisoft gets promotion for their upcoming game release.
In the final episode of our series with Yelawolf at SXSW, he discusses his abilities as a singer vs a rapper, meets with Peter Rosenberg of HOT97, and talks about photo/video in the current stage of hip-hop.

Big, big hip-hop news. Rap supergroup Slaughterhouse (Crooked I, Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz and Royce da 5’9”) and budding superstar Yelawolf have been signed to Eminem’s Shady Records. As told to XXL Magazine:
“Yelawolf and Slaughterhouse, it’s kinda phase two of Shady,” says Eminem. “It’s the new generation of Shady Records and as we’re trying to rebuild our label, it’s exciting for hip-hop and with all of these forces coming together and with what everybody’s capable of on the mic, it’s gonna be fun.”
Said Yelawolf: “Considering where I’m from and the shit I’ve been through, it’s hard to put into words what partnering with Shady means to me, my team at Ghet-O-Vision, and my state of Alabama. I can tell you that when you’re willing to give your life up to see a dream through, the reward is great. And now that I’ve become an apprentice to one of the greatest artists in the world, my potential reaches beyond anything I ever imagined. Let’s kill this shit.”
