Yelawolf has announced plans for his next musical venture which will come in the form of a double album titled War Story.

The project boasts contradicting sides: Trunk Muzik 4Ever, which is produced by his right-hand WLPWR; and Michael Wayne, produced by Malay. Together, they make up War Story.

The project marks Yelawolf’s first solo rap album since 2021’s Mud Mouth— 2022’s Sometimes Y with Shooter Jennings saw him pivot to rock.

“I was just so fueled to rap again. My tank got refilled, so to speak, and it turned out I had a lot to say,” he told SPIN. “I would love to see a place in Hip Hop for me to elevate and to bring the quality of the music and what we’ve put together to the forefront of the mainstream.

Yelawolf added his hopes for the project: “I would like for Drake fans, Kendrick Lamar fans, Three 6 Mafia fans, Future fans, XXXTentacion fans — I think it would be rad for me if the younger generation would take a hold of the project.”

However, listeners shouldn’t take a lot of the stories in the bars to heart as many were made up for the album.

“I don’t really have reservations with my lyrics,” the “Daddy’s Lambo” rapper admitted. “If I commit to it, I’m dead serious about it. There’s a lot of creative writing. I made so much of the album up, so there’s actually very few songs that are factual about my actual life.

Looking Over’ on the Malay album is a real story about a car accident I was in with my mom, and that was one of the hardest songs to write only because I had to piece it together and make it rhyme but also the detail of what it was.”

Yelawolf is yet to confirm a release date for War Story.

Yelawolf is one of the greatest artists of our generation....Yeah, I said it.

Extremely versatile. "Radio" and "Make Me a Believer" are great songs. If Bon Jovi or some other big rock band released these tracks, they would have been huge tracks.

Love Story and Mudmouth are classic albums.

I need to revisit arena rap . Candy and dreams is one of my favorite yelawolf songs. Hotel was a good ep as well.

Malay brought us Arena Rap which is a very overlooked Yela project.


Also produced American you alongside Eminem, Empty bottles and Change from Love Story.

Took me a few listens to get into it but Make You Love Me is so d--- smooth. Yela is so versatile yet consistent. He never disappoints me.

This album ain't coming out. Nothing is hitting and he'll either scrap it or change it.

Yelawolf revealed new info about his upcoming album, “War Story”. Two new music videos are coming before the album even hits shelves.

Yela shared some information with fans during his interview on Vlad TV and his own livestream on Instagram.

Two new singles will represent both sides of the upcoming project: “Trailer in The Sky” featuring Jelly Roll is coming straight from the “Michael Wayne” side of the album, and “Flash Lights” – brings the heat from “Trunk Muzik 4Ever”.

Both tracks are dropping in the next few weeks, so stay alert, as Yelawolf did not provide specific dates.

However, the Slumerican mastermind is not stopping there. He has a sixth single and video titled “Legend” lined up to drop after the album’s release. It looks like the party keeps going even after “War Story” officially drops.

By the way, a vinyl version of “War Story” will be available so that you can experience the album in all its analogue glory.

During the livestream, one fan had a question about a potential Eminem collaboration on the album. Yelawolf’s playful response? “Ask him”. While it might not be happening this time, Michael clearly doesn’t want to close the door on a future Shady-Yelawolf team-up.

For those wondering about a track called “Hot Water,” unfortunately, it looks like it’s being shelved for good.

Michael has also provided a “Mud Mouth” update. The movie is still in the works, but Yelawolf assures us the wait will be worth it. Additional animation is not cheap — it costs around $500,000 and takes time. But the more music Yelawolf makes, the faster he can pay for these costly but apparently necessary new bits. He has even seen a couple of animated scenes and assures the fans that they are fire!

The main intrigue still remains a new release date for “War Story”. Since it became clear that there will be no drop on May 17, there has been no official confirmation on the release date yet. However, Yelawolf recently mentioned June 7 as a possible target. Most recently, he said that at his own show after performing “Everything”, released as a single for the upcoming album.

pretty good. Ironically called 'new me' but sounds like old him though.
