About

Michael Wayne Atha (born December 30, 1979), better known by his stage name Yelawolf, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Born in Gadsden, Alabama, and raised in Antioch, Tennessee, he embarked on his recording career in 2005, releasing four mixtapes to positive local reception. His fourth mixtape, Trunk Muzik (2010), earned him wider recognition and led him to sign a recording contract with Interscope Records. He re-worked the mixtape into his first major label release, Trunk Muzik 0-60 (2010).

He entered a joint venture deal with Eminem's Shady Records to release his second studio album, Radioactive (2011), which peaked at number 27 on the Billboard 200. His third album, Love Story (2015) peaked at number three on the chart and spawned the single "Till It's Gone", which received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His fourth and fifth albums, Trial by Fire (2017) and Trunk Muzik 3 (2019), both saw moderate commercial performance and critical praise; his sixth album, Ghetto Cowboy (2019), served as his first independent release following his major label departure.
