Yelawolf discussed his decision to leave Eminem's Shady Records and go independent. He touched on his work on the album 'Trial by Fire,' which he believes is one of the most important hip-hop country albums ever created. Having gone through a challenging process producing it, he felt it represented a paradigm shift in the Nashville music scene, blending hip-hop and country. Following his departure from Shady Records after the release of 'Trunk Muzik 3,' Yelawolf has been focusing on his own growth and building up his brand. He aims to follow his own creative path without being too concerned about chart positions or sales numbers, but only on producing quality music. His latest release, 'Mud Mouth,' might be his last in the hip-hop genre for a while, as he now plans to focus on rock and roll.
