Yelawolf‘s  vocals and country swag are in full effect in his latest visual for American You. The visual finds the rapper singing in what seems like a farm-like terrain, in addition to a bar. His vocals and the visual’s setting fit well with the rustic instrumental. American You is off of Yelawolf’s upcoming album Love Story. Watch the video below!

Yelawolf’s Love Story album is on the way and this is a taste of the direction the Alabama spitter is heading. The DJ Paul and Malay-produced cut is a far cry from what we heard on Radioactive. Yela’s Southern roots are on full display here on the high octane record, which contains the punk rock undertones he’s been experimenting with on his last few mixtapes. Listen below.

Over this hypnotizing production by Zaire, Shawn Chrystopher relents about a night with a woman he just met. Stay tuned for his debut album, Love Story.

Shawn Chrystopher caught our eye earlier this year with the video for his song “My Homies.” Now, the Inglewood, California-bred MC is presenting his project, Love Story, executive produced by Timbaland, featuring appearances from Dom Kennedy, GLC, Stunnaman, and Phil Ade. It’s a well-developed free album equipped with a healthy dosage of subject matter. Take a listen.

“One Of My Homies”
