In the three years since Yelawolf released his 2011 debut album, Radioactive, the Alabama-born rapper has released a handful of mixtapes as well as a collaborative side project with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, Psycho White. And while his sophomore studio album has been long-rumored, until recently it seemed like nothing more than chatter.
However, as he explains in a new interview with Billboard, the delay between full-length albums was solely thanks to his relentless dedication to getting his second LP right: Love Story, due April 21, finds the rapper expanding his musical boundaries in inventive new ways, embracing his lifelong love of Southern rock and country, all the while dashed with his signature Bayou hip-hop flair.
