Standout Tracks: Hard White, Animal, Let’s Roll.
This is one of the best contemporary rap albums to be released in quite some time. Yelawolf’s flow and style are uniquely his and really help to make this album stand apart from the rest of the stuff that shows up on your local rap station. Tracks range from the slowed down “Write Your Name” to the rowdy “Hard White” featuring Lil’ Jon. Ordinarily I stay away from mainstream rap releases but this album has become a mainstay on my gym playlists.
