Michael Wayne Atha, better known by his stage name Yelawolf, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, fashion designer, and entrepreneur. Born and raised in Gadsden, Alabama, Atha embarked on his career independently in 2005, releasing one extended play (EP) and four mixtapes until 2010. It was not until 2010's Trunk Muzik EP that Yelawolf started to gain mainstream attention. The same year, Yelawolf signed a record deal with Interscope Records. His first release on a major label was to be a somewhat reworked Trunk Muzik, titled Trunk Muzik 0-60, which shared six tracks from Trunk Muzik.
