Yelawolf is day two of XXL’s Freshmen freestyles. Just like his presence on “2.0 Boys,” He goes hard here too.
“I feel like I flunked for, like, five years to be here to become a Freshman. It’s dope. I feel like I’m a senior in a freshman class, but I’m honored to be a part of this crew. I just continue to do what I’ve been doing…just making music that makes sense for me and for my crew and doesn’t stop. What got me here is just being me. [The night before the cover shoot], I was in Colorado to do the X Games, so for the past two days, I’ve been going nonstop. Had my show in Aspen last night. We rocked that and finished at 1 a.m., and we drove to Denver and made a connection flight. I’m just hustling. I’m here with no sleep, and that’s the life that I chose. Just happy to be a part of this, man.
XXL is definitely a magazine that I had hopes of getting in. I wanted to be on the cover of it, definitely on the top of my list of magazines that I wanted to be on the cover of. I never knew how it was going to happen. Making history by being the first artist ever to be on it twice in a row. That’s crazy. So I keep my head down and just stay focused, and hungry and working. I work like I don’t have shit. Just going hard. Just busy man, I haven’t touched down since the Freshmen shoot. Prior to doing the shoot it was the same thing. I was in Vegas for the past two days— I did a show two nights in a row. I’m here in L.A. today for a video shoot. I fly out tonight to go back to Atlanta. From Atlanta to Nashville, Nashville to Chattanooga. I’m just moving, man, just busy— and thankful to be busy.
