After building months of anticipation throughout the music industry, Alabama-born and Nashville-based rapper Yelawolf presents his new double-LP entitled “War Story.”
To celebrate the arrival of the album, Wolf unveils a new music video for his track “Legend.” In the visual, Yelawolf raps against a setting sun as his words lay heavy on the beat while reflecting upon what brought him here with some of his most incisive wordplay yet and a litany of shout-outs from past to present.
The southern artist muses, “The story is still being written, I’m a living juxtaposition. Yelawolf is what happen when you left the devil to do all the babysitting.”
While an electric guitar solo wails in the background, he lights a cigarette, flicks a match, and the past goes up in flames. Reborn in a burst fire, he puts it best, “That’s how you make a legend.”
In advance of the album release, Yelawolf uncovered the opening track “Trailer In The Sky” featuring Jelly Roll. It has already exploded with over 1 million Spotify streams and 2 million YouTube views on the visualizer.
