Yelawolf previously discussed his upcoming project and the decision to return to his hip-hop roots during an interview with SPIN in November. “I was just so fueled to rap again. My tank got refilled, so to speak, and it turned out I had a lot to say,” he told the outlet. “I would love to see a place in Hip Hop for me to elevate and to bring the quality of the music and what we’ve put together to the forefront of the mainstream.” Yelawolf added: “I would like for Drake fans, Kendrick Lamar fans, Three 6 Mafia fans, Future fans, XXXTentacion fans — I think it would be rad for me if the younger generation would take a hold of the project.” Prior to the first single from War Story, "Everything," Yelawolf had been making rock music for a number of years.
War Story is expected to release in May of this year. It'll be his first studio album since dropping Sometimes Y in 2022. Be on the lookout for further updates on Yelawolf and the upcoming project on HotNewHipHop.
