Yelawolf Live In Concert
First Unitarian Church
2125 Chestnut St
Philadelphia, Pa
The new voice of Alabama hip hop may well be that of Yelawolf, a self-described wild child who was raised on classic rock (think Lynyrd Skynyrd and Pink Floyd) but found rap (think 8ball & MJG and UGK).
Recently signed by Eminem’s Shady Record’s, the quick-rhyming, tattooed, hard-working emcee has even shared the stage with Philly 360° lead creative ambassadors – and 2011 Grammy® Award-winners – The Roots.
Catch Yelawolf’s live show when he blasts through songs from his widely acclaimed album, Trunk Muzik 0-60 and other underground mixtape hits that have helped him rise to the top.
Presented by our friends at R5 Productions, Philly’s own Reef The Lost Cauze and GOOD Records’ (Kanye West’s record company) Cyhi Da Prince also share the bill at this show.
