In the above Slumerican tour video Yelawolf does various activities that people value. Let’s rate them. He is really good at skateboarding. Like so good that he makes me feel like I should never type about skateboarding again because it seems fake. He also watches his friend eat shrooms. He seems like he is good at that. Yelawolf busts a handstyle. Not so good. But not terrible. Yelawolf also plays with a gun. Yelawolf does not shoot himself or his friends so although he is friends with Eminem the Slumerican rapper is no Cheddar Bob. Yelawolf performs to a sell-out crowd. He brings a 12 year-old on stage and also stage dives from a balcony. So he is good at pleasing his fans and being exciting.
Yelawolf is playing Skully’s in Columbus on October 26th. Rittz, Trouble Andrew, DJ Vajra and Path are also on the bill. Tickets are available at Dreadful Sounds, Roots Records & online here.

Gunplay goes in on Rae & Ghost’s “Criminology” beat nicely. This is off Gunplay’s “601 & Snort”. If you like Waka Flocka’s message but he isn’t lyrical enough for you than Gunplay is your man. If you like Meek Mill but would rather do drugs than sell them then you should listen to Gunplay. If you haven’t liked any rappers in your life but Trick Daddy and ODB you should listen to Gunplay.
Youngstown emcee KeilyN’s above video has the Ohio rapper reflecting on life and asking you to take a walk in his shoes over a smooth beat. If you like peep his website. This video was directed by Walter Nini.
