Yelawolf Is Releasing A New Album & It’s A Return To Trunk Muzik (Audio)

Booklyn’s Stro The MC signed to Mass Appeal last October. It was the culmination of several years of work, and now the New York spitter is releasing his first content of the new year. Off of his Mass Appeal-released Nice 2 Meet You, Again EP, the rapper formerly known as Astro drops the video for “Waters.”

The first half of the visual mostly centralizes on Stro’s lyrical ability, which seemingly extends beyond his years (no surprise why Nas is a fan). He’s driving his BMW SUV around the neighborhood at night and delivering some braggadocio bars which complement the vibe so well. The delivery features an inflection in his voice at the top of each bar, making it unique. In the second half, the beat switches up, and Stro hops out of his vehicle and continues his lyrical assault.

He closes in strong stride. “All of my bars prevail, you’re stuck in jail / Like nudes in the 90’s, so much p*ssy in the mail / Nowadays, my generation operatin’ through feminine ways / A dedicated MC before I heard it pays / But now, ain’t nothin’ free, dog / Need a couple G’s at least f*ckin’ with me, dog / I’m ill, actin’ like you don’t see, dog / But you a wolf, I know you’re pre, dog / I’m on that ass like toilet seat / I’m fly, plus I keep a lil shum shum like toiletries / And I deliver like they order me / This beat is wavy, I just came to test the waters, nothin’ more to see.” Stro has reached a new plateau, and approaching a decade after he appeared on Sha Stimuli’s My Soul To Keep album as a juvenile, he’s through working pro bono.

According to the Stro, Nice 2 Meet You, Again was a major transition for him both in his personal life and professionally. “[It] represents a new me and a new beginning,” he told Billboard‘s Carl Lamarre at the time of the project’s release. “There was a lot of ups and downs creating this project, but through the grace of God I’m able to say I got it done.”

Stro follows a lineage of lyrical MCs Nas and his team have signed over the years. Mass Appeal has worked with Run The Jewels, Gangrene, Dave East, DJ Shadow, as well as the late J Dilla and Pimp C. Stro joins Fashawn, Ezri, Cantrell, and 070 Phi on a label tour, beginning next month:

After a tumultuous period leading up to and after the release of his third album, Trial By Fire, in the Fall of 2017, Yelawolf is back with some long-promised new music. The Slumerican Records CEO teased the arrival of TM3 (Trunk Music 3) for most of last year, but judging by his latest offering, “Gangsta Walk (Get Buck Freestyle),” the sequel may finally see the light of day this year.

While the Gadsden, Alabama native caught flack from some Hip-Hop Heads for transitioning into a more Rock & Roll / Country-heavy sound on 2015’s Love Story and Trial By Fire, it seems he’s looking to reclaim his spot as a lethal lyricist with a double-time delivery. Over the beat for collaborator Gangsta Boo’s “Gangsta Walk,” Catfish Billy lets loose, “I’m a still that motherf*cka, ain’t nothing new to this / Been that Country Cousin way before I even knew K.R.I.T. / Seven-hundred-dollar glass of whiskey and I shoots it / Using my gold teeth to take an olive off a toothpick.” The vibe of the production and the MC’s presentation hearken back to his pre-Shady Records mixtapes. The mere mention of the Country Cousins project (which never happened, despite significant anticipation) suggests exactly who Yela’ wants to speak to among his onetime fan-base.

Next, the MC addresses some of the rumors swirling around him, as well as issues he’s been dealing with. He does so with compound rhymes: “That A.D.D.’s like S.A.T.s, I never took nothing for it / Dazed and confused, major league, dude,  I never took nothing for it / I was just bored / I was just stuck in my trailer walking back and forth / Became a rapper just so I could sing and lose every fan I had before.” While the lines may be tongue-in-cheek, they are also honest and self-reflective. It flashes back to the artist who was so devastating on early mixtapes and in those days trading bars with Em and Slaughterhouse. “Forget about the old me, kinda sorta / Put on a pair of boots and jump the border / But what’s a border to a native quarter / But a way to make Trump create a new order? / I’m a rebel, b*tch, I don’t wait at the shore for / A wave to crash, I go and make the water.” Yela’ combines multi-syllabic lines about his tattoos and fashion changes to show that he is not in favor of the White House campaign. It accomplishes an agenda to reintroduce one of the most exciting MCs from the early 2010s.

He ends the freestyle by defining his and Slumerican’s vibe and sound in 2019, “See if Johnny Cash and Jim Morrison / Became B-Boys with Eminem / And Pink Floyd and forged a group with Hank III, of course, then / Slumerican would be the emporium.”
