www.MAURICEGARLAND.com Interviews Yelawolf (final part)



In the last clip of my interview with Yelawolf we talk about those inevitable Eminem comparisons and him signing to Kawan "KP" Prather's Ghet-O-Vision (the imprint that discovered T.I., Youngbloodz and Ray Cash).

Thanks to all of ya'll for checking these interviews out and/or posting them on your sites. Hope you enjoyed them. Just wanted to go ahead and put them out there since everybody seems to finally be opening up to Yela and giving him a shot after all these years. He had a very interesting story (hell, some of it was even left out believe it or not) and I just wanted to help tell as more people get turned on to his music via touring and his new deal with Interscope, that I hope will work out for the better. The first four parts are under the jump in case you hadn't or wanted to check them out. Holleratchee.


Talking about his Alabama roots and bringing his world to Hip Hop...


...talks specifically about how he got introduced to Hip Hop and when he actually started understanding it. We also got into his many musical influences and how they made him the artist he is today...


...talks about being "different" for most of his life, the influence his mother's lifestyle left on his life and being homeless out on the West coast...



...talks about his time in Alaska, starting his rap career and his brief stint on Missy Elliot's "Road to Stardom" reality show...

what i'm afraid of happenin to an artist is this kinda spell of being already burned out creatively just by the time they get signed and have a chance to blow up nationwide

obviously yelawolf seems to have so many life experiences to derive from, doesnt look like he could possibly be burned out. i think he has a long career ahead of him and im damn proud of it. North Alabama!
