Following his debut UK shows and release of album 'Radioactive' last year, Yelawolf has announced four new UK dates for May.

Though he's been releasing material since the early 2000's, 'Radioactive' qualifies as Yelawolf's official 'debut'. Unlike his prior efforts that were recorded in basements and garages, only to be appreciated by his first core of loyal fans, this album was captured amidst rigorous touring, growing anticipation and now, expectation. If his ability to survive the last ten years are any indication, Wolf will rise to the occasion and beyond.

Yelawolf

Born Michael Wayne Atha to an absentee father and a bartender mother, Yelawolf attended over 15 schools while soaking up slang and spiritualism in Baton Rouge, Antioch, Tennessee, and Atlanta. While trying to stay afloat in a turbulent home life addled by drug and alcohol abuse, he discovered rap music in Tennessee and it soon became an obsession, along with the classic rock (Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pink Floyd, The Allman Brothers) that he was raised on. His music is a new strain of soul food, the traditional Southern cuisine that fortified the Dungeon Family, 8ball & MJG, and UGK, but infused by Yela’s unique experiences as a cross-country vagabond with no place to call home. And, of course, his unparalleled ability to snap off double-timed staccato raps unlike anything you’ve ever heard.
