Event: YELAWOLF – Live In Edmonton

ONE OF HIP HOP’s MOST BUZZED ABOUT ARTISTS FOR 2010 IS COMING TO EDMONTON!!!

Representing Alabama, USA… ::::: YELAWOLF :::::

In 2010 alone Yelawolf has already collaborated with today’s Hip Hop heavyweights…..BIG BOI, REAKWON, JUELZ SANTANA, BUN B, PAUL WALL, GUCCI MANE and many more!! He’s been every where and on everything!

YELAWOLF came to fame after his 2010 release of “Trunk Muzik”. A project which was dedicated to the trunk riders, with 808s and hard ass music. It had a dirty Southern sound that has a Ghettotech/Hip Hop/Southern Rock vibe that grabbed the ears of many.

The LA Times declared he was “as safe a bet for stardom as anyone out right now — the rare rapper capable of earning respect from both Kid Rock and Kid Cudi fans.” His insanely energetic performances at SXSW were the stuff of instant-legend.

Already gaining respect as a versatile artist that can go toe to toe with the best lyricists (which he did at this years Rock The Bells festival) or just rock the mic right on a party track, Yela has the ability to adapt his style to each song. Because of that, his fans and peers are listening! Listening Hard!

Don’t miss this much anticipated and intimate showcase of Bama’s finest!

Edmonton writer/rapper AOK, writes a children book along with album. The first copies of the book/album will be available Nov 27 and 28 at the Royal Bison Crafts & Arts Fair.

“The project is a juxtaposition of children’s literature, with playful illustrations by Josh Holinaty and a storyline intended to improve kids’ vocabularies, and a rap album (downloadable with a unique code inside the book) that’s not for kids at all. Well, maybe just the wily ones.”
