Artist, songwriter and entrepreneur YelaWolf released his new album Ghetto Cowboy, today,
November 1, premiering exclusively to fans on Halloween night via
YouTube. The sixth studio album from the rapper is the first to drop on
his own independent label Slumerican Records, an extension of his lifestyle brand with retail headquarters based in Nashville, TN.
The highly anticipated project features single releases “Opie Taylor” and “Unnatural Born Killer,”
which have been getting a warm reception with New Music Friday
placements and playlist support from Spotify, Tidal, Amazon, and across
iHeartRadio. Wolf also has a fan in pro athlete LeBron James who recently posted he “can’t wait for the album to drop.”

“This Ghetto Cowboy album
has been the most gratifying to me as an artist being that it’s my
first indie release on my own label. I have no one to answer to and that
can be a scary responsibility. After Love Story, Trial By Fire and then Trunk Muzik 3,
I feel like I got a well-rounded project that speaks to all the fans;
hip hop, rock’n’roll, and southern fans alike. I ain’t reinventing the
wheel here, just doing what I love to do, doing what I think is dope and
original. I never want to stop challenging the genre or the listener or
become complacent or settled cause that’s boring as f_<# to me and
the fans. G.C. is unapologetic, brutally honest and at times completely
vulnerable. I leave it all out there. Take it or leave it.“ – YelaWolf.

This has been a banner year for Wolf’s endeavors, both as an artist and entrepreneur. Not only is Ghetto Cowboy his second album in 2019 – following up his critically-acclaimed Trunk Muzik 3 released with Shady Records this spring – he also made his cinematic debut this summer in the beloved award-winning movie, The Peanut Butter Falcon. Honored to play a part, he was cast by the director who wrote the role specifically with him in mind.
Wolf also celebrates a breakout year for his distinctive whiskey brand, Creek Water,
which has impressively won a half dozen awards, including Consumers’
Choice Award, Gold Medal Award and Innovation Award from the 2019 Sip
Awards. Debuting in 2018, Creek Water continually expands distribution
as a result of high demand and is currently sold in markets across the
country.
