- Yelawolf is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer born in Gadsden, AL and raised in Antioch, TN who has developed a cult-like following since releasing his first album in 2005. His music and his movement "Slumerican" encapsulate what he calls "the people who are the core of America."
Ed Clay and Yelawolf sit down to talk about the long journey to stardom for Yelawolf from trailer parks to selling out stages. Yelawolf was nearly 30 years old before he got his first record deal and he shares how persistence and faith in the long run is necessary if someone wants to be successful. Meeting Eminem and signing to Shady Records was a huge milestone in Wolf's journey and listeners get to hear some of the behind the scenes stories as to how that came to fruition.
Overcoming adversity and learning to block out the haters is a reoccurring theme in Wolf's journey from the trenches to where he is now. We even take a deep dive into Yelawolf's mind and hear some of his perspectives on things like the spiritual world, karma, psychedelics, and introspection. Wolf shares how doing things that scare him spark creativity and inspiration and how he takes fear head-on.
Yelawolf's new double-album War Story drops June 7th and, in Wolf's words, is "by far my best hip-hop project." Following Wolf's 2022 Rock album Sometimes Y, War Story reunites the team that produced Love Story from 2015 and brings Slumerican fans back to the hip-hop roots that Yelawolf has cultivated over the years.
Enjoy Episode 24 of The Ed Clay Show with Yelawolf!

This is probably the best wolf interview I’ve seen
Agreed. The one with Kev was good but this is definitive!
He is so more comfortable on this one than on Vlad TV!
💯 It was almost painful to watch the Vlad one.
Yea man that vlad one even made me nervous
I agree, but even when Yelawolf is playing with his shoe/ He is a creative genius and beautiful at EVERYTHING!!!
That’s because Vlad is a Chicken Hawk
Agreed didnt even offer him a drink how dare he lol
This interview is wayyyyy better than the VLADtv one
Yeah, 1000x better...very personable & non standoffish.
He seems way more comfortable here than on vlads
He’s sober now. correct me if I’m wrong but on vlad he wasn’t sober
Vlad was a obligated interview...this was hanging with a homie.
Yelawolf is a fucking legend
When he talks about praying to be able to go to sleep it makes me think of the song Disappear on Love Story. The first time i heard that song, it made me think of my own upbringing and also gave me the urge to protect the person in the song. Crazy how a song can cut so deep but not have blown up when it was released. Excited about the new album.
Been a Yela fan for a decade. Saw him in Greensboro, NC. He gave me high 5! Made my night.
Don't want to piggy back of the majority in the comments. But Wolf is himself here . Great conversation! Seems authentic and relaxed no doubt. Slumerican!
Yellawolf is the culture. Start finish to future he’s it
I agree I've loved him since 12 years ago love how he is now
Thank you for letting guests get a thought out
SLUMERICAN MADE ⚡️🐐⚡️
... Embrace the essence of Yela that grapples with the reigns of his Dark and PULLS UP STRONGER every time.... That's my interpretation of Slumerican....
All day everyday
Absolutely amazing interview with Yela he seems real comfortable ⚡️🤘🏽⚡️ thanks for this
Love seeing him like this
I love how this interview turns around and Wolf interviews Clay! But thank you for sharing about your mom, I have Lupus and i have been exploring stem cells and other options. That was a really cool part to this interview 🖤
I need to have a beer with Clay he seems so down to earth
Wolf I'm from Mexico 🇲🇽 and I love that u had a good time in my country, I really appreciate you and love your music
So far this is an awesome podcast, stoked to see these 2 legends together
Thank you kindly Clay & Wolf.
Most definitely the best interview🕊
We appreciate you & your music.
Slumerican 4ever⚡️✨⚡️
Didn’t know Ed Clay before this show and now I am a BIG ED CLAY FAN! What a story! Came here for Wolf but left thoroughly impressed by this other gentleman and the overall interview. Thank you for all you do!
Dude really realted to me. Sooo humble and calm, wonderful to see someone's honestly. #Righteous
Awesome interview. Love Wolf when he’s sober. Other interviews he’s faded lol
Love Yela. Met him when I was 18 back in 2018. Been a fan since I was 12! Love that he is getting the love he deserves!!! SLUM!!!!
Hell yeah
Met Yela at Hermitage.. will never forget it. Goat
Good conversation. I love hearing the journey someone has been on. What a story!
I also fought before the ufc blew up. I also got caught up with big pharm opi. Havnt taken the trip yet but I know its in my future. Thank you for sharing!!
I havent taken acid in 2 yrs now but for the longest time every time I smoked weed it would give me lsd visuals , especially after work !! I miss it lol ..
Man I’ve waited to see yela have a candid interview like this since I started listening to him in 2009.
Subbed
Great work
Woke up with MYLM stuck in my head and this was the first thing I turned on 😂
What a solid interview! ⚡️
Bruh this past weekend he put on !!! New me went so hard live !!
"We're creative people yaknow"
48:52 Really. Gee i think every

(Yela)
Great podcast! I'll be checking out more
great interview guys, very real, down to earth and just 2 guys talking, love it!!
This was such a great interview! Wolf was much more relaxed and candid on this podcast. I loved all of the spiritual talk. Good stuff guys!!
He’s a living legend. Thanks to you both!
so pleasant to watch. look how different he is here and in dj Vlad interview. more friendly.
I’ve loved Yelawolf since he very first came out in early 2000s. He’s still the same humble , creative, smart, amazing person. Love that he isn’t cocky or arrogant! Can’t wait for the new album!!❤❤❤
Thank you for the interview. Yelawolf is and has been my favourite artist! Great to hear some insights from him #slumerican
Bro for me this is a Great Interview. Shout out Clay and Yelawolf Appreciate The dynamics of this interview man. Real life can tap into real shit!💯🔑💪🏻✅
I can’t believe Yela ever got boo’d on stage. This guy is a natural performer, doesn’t matter what crowd
He didn't?
😅🎉
@@HOOONIER listen from 26:00
I've been lucky to find these amazing course online and through tons of books, and music is what makes me relate learning.
Look I need to meet Yelawolf, or Michael Wayne Atha in this lifetime like in person and we Need to kick it... I literally grew up on the Alabama Georgia State line, on the line of Mentone, Al. & Chickamauga, Ga. Or "Kingsington" as people from around here call it... I can see it happening in my mind's eye...
thank you for this !!! best conversation with yelawolf ever !!!
When Yelawolf was speaking on compartmentalizing things in his life for the sake of his art it reminded me of something my therpaist said to me about prolonged exposure therapy: You'll never undo the trauma that you experienced. The next best thing is to get it all organized in a closet and put a label and/or timestamp on it. The closet will be neatly organized so that you can know where everything is.
What others call
"fear" I call a
"challenge."
Seriously the best Yelawolf interview I’ve ever seen. Slumerican!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Wow. Great interview
Great time guys enjoyed
52:24 I was at the Slane castle concert that yelawolf opened at. It was fucking DOPE AF 🔥
Saw Yelawolf open for Wiz Khalifa in New Orleans. Waken Baken tour.
Dude did Pop the Trunk while walking around in the crowd and pointing at the security.
Pointing that biscuit.
Antioch, diamonds from the rough

He seemed nervous on the other one fighting with his hands and all that love to see him acting normal and all that but love to see him on this more comfortable
Yela's wearing his comfy slippers for this one lol
Loved learning about Ed n' i just discovered his channel - nice one Yela ;)
Both fascinating men who need to write a biography already !
A good interview
This is the best Yelawolf interview I’ve ever listened to and first time listening to Ed who is great at this and a super interesting dude. Super great and can’t wait for the album.
The fact that he is such an amazing artist is just badass period but he seems to be a real one an even with the fame an money doesn’t seem to be out of touch with the real world recently went to a concert of his for the first time an it was badass it wasn’t some uptight like event it was chill an you didn’t have security swarming you so props to him for a great performance
Have you watched his snapchats. Dude lives a normal life how he wants able to walk to streets without people hounding him does what he loves every single day
You're most amazing person l know be proud of yourself you help the whole world in so many ways you are the king of the world 👑👑👑 take care always youre a legend never forget that❤❤❤
I am also Cherokee and Blackfoot... I get Cherokee from my mother and my father, and I get Blackfoot from my father
I love the way that this doesn't even seem like an interview it's like y'all are just sitting back and kicking it... Witness a kickin It sess😁👁️🪁🎯🤓 yo that's so what's up 🤙😘
I love when they talk about the weed cuz it’s exactly how I feel. Whether it be a hit or half of eddie I’m fukd
