The very day Yelawolf was born, his teenage mother strapped him into a stroller and rolled him around the mall. The first week of his life, she took him to house parties, and by the time he left high school, the family had roamed to so many towns that Yelawolf had attended 15 different schools.
"I really never ever stopped moving," he says while driving around Nashville, his home of the past three years. "That's my life story in a nutshell."
Yelawolf was born Michael Wayne Atha in Gadsden, Alabama, where his two musical loves grew organically. His mom dated a sound engineer, and Wolf remembers being onstage at age six with Dwight Yoakam, and Run DMC coming by his house to party after their local show when he was seven. "I woke up in this trailer park and figured out what was ironic about who I was and where I was from wasn't that what I was experiencing was new. It was just that I recognized the extreme of it," he says.
With his latest release, Love Story, perhaps he can finally downshift. Since 2010's Trunk Muzik, his career has been on the fast track. His appearance—his tattoos include a catfish swimming down his forearm and "Heart of Dixie" stamped on his stomach—and raps about Appalachian meth dealers might've made him a novelty act. But his rapid-fire delivery and intense live show ensured no one considered him a joke. As Pitchfork marveled, "Yelawolf is a powerful new rap voice, one that draws from all over the map without sounding much like anyone else." Interscope Records agreed and within three months, he had a major label deal. Later that year, the tape was re-released as Trunk Muzik 0-60, and Rolling Stone praised him as "an MC whose liquid flow breathes life into genre clichés." In January 2011, he signed to Eminem's Shady Records, and his fan base grew even more rabid. Yet Wolf wasn't satisfied.
