YelaWolf added, "A Slumerican Life caught lighting in a bottle. There were so many random and magical things happening during filming that there wasn't enough room in each episode to edit it all in. The producers had one rule: never stop recording. And they didn't. It's unscripted, raw and real. Welcome to my world."
Yelawolf recently returned stateside from his European Ghetto Cowboy tour supporting his newest acclaimed album Ghetto Cowboy, his sixth studio release. It's the first release from his independent label, Slumerican Records, an extension of his lifestyle and culture brand with retail headquarters in Nashville. Ghetto Cowboy follows Yelawolf's critically acclaimed Trunk Muzik 3, which released in Spring 2019 on Shady Records.
