Yelawolf & DJ Paul — Slumafia


Second collaborative EP between Michael "Yelawolf" Atha (rapper from Gadsden, Alabama) and Paul "DJ Paul" Beauregard (producer from Whiteheaven, Tennessee). The effort, the second of four weekly releases in April '21 for Yelawolf, is a follow-up to their previous collaborative '13 EP "Black Fall". DJ Paul produces the tape entirely, which features Badd Wolf, Big Henri, Bray, Gangsta Boo, Seed of 6ix, Caskey and Pretty Shy as guests. In these 32 minutes divided into 8 cuts, DJ Paul carries on the EP with a good southern melodic trap production, while Yelawolf spits bars with a light-hearted style most of the time. The guys who hail from Memphis performed in a great way, overshadow the lead rapper with their super-fast styles in the title track, Yela still believes he's Em and performs an extra verse that does nothing but wear the cut down. Good performance by Caskey in the final choice. 6/10.
