Every since Tupac made loving your mama cool more than a decade ago, even the hardest rappers have seemingly felt the need to profess their love for their own mothers; or, in Yelawolf’s case, reminisce about how she used to put NyQuil in his baby bottle. An anti-“I love you mom” track of sorts, Yela’s Deer Mama takes a southern soaked, 70’s-esque, high hat stuttering beat from 808 Blake of production duo SMKA and flips it into an unflinching look at his younger years spent with a drug addicted mother. In typical Yela fashion, the Bama emcee pulls in references from everyone to The Fugees to Outkast to craft his tale, a tale that ultimately ends on a hopeful note: “I can’t change that picture, but I can throw it in a better frame.” His relationship with his mom was far from ideal, but at least he’s translating those struggles into great music. For more dopeness be sure to check out Yelawolf’s Trunk Muzik mixtape, and SMKA’s The 808 Experiment (Vol. 2), due out next Monday, January 18.

Anything YelaWolf touches these days turns to musical gold. He simply takes over the record. Blake supplies a dope beat and Yela does the rest. Impressed enough to listen on repeat for a 10 minute period earlier today...

YelaWolf had a tight flow on here. He's been on fire lately. Production had a nice vibe. Creative concept I guess haha. It works.

On the real, I'm still bumping Trunk Muzik, that project completely sold me on Yelawolf, and this is yet another example of his talent. You can't complain about a lack of original style in the game and then complain about Yela. Dopeness.
Man, we just can't please DJ Electric today. Personally I'll take some Curtis Mayfield-esque production any day. So Electric, what's a current track you're digging? Just so I know what you do like.

Dope production that'll definitely knock on the system, and Yelawolf gets right into it as he doesn’t sound one bit out of place with his vivid descriptions and portrayal.
Now only if "Trunk Muzik" had more of this and less "Lick The Cat/In This Club". I mean it HAS its share of such cuts but it could've used some more, in my opinion. Sidenote: I'm starting to wonder that both @The149th & @djeclectric accounts belong to the same person, but different emails for login. |

FIRST OFF, CURTIS MAYFIELD IS ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME, AND I WISH THERE WERE MORE SONGS THAT SOUNDED LIKE HIM. Second, if you can get over his accent, Yela isn't half bad. I'm not quite there yet, but he's starting to grow on me.

sorry mr top hat. i do not rep the BX... i'm from CT and i don't have the time to come up w/ different alliases to try n fool my fellow dj's for absolutely no reason at all...
@ nathan -i just didn't think the concept over that type production worked...but hey, it's lookin like a lot of others disagree and think an ode to ma dukes meshes well w/ this track?...i do like everything statik selektah's been doin lately, curren$y, black milk, jay electronica, r-les, pj morton & shabazz palaces (just to name a few) |
