Can it really be? Has Yelawolf set aside his prodigious talent and one-of-a-kind style in order to pursue a career of homogeneous club hits? Nah—but I scared you a little there, didn’t I? Despite the title and the Lil Jon guest feature, major-label debut single Hard White (In the Club) is packed with all the shapeshifting flows, witty wisecracks and non-f*ck-giving attitude listeners have come to expect from Catfish Billy. Hydrox handles production duties, layering an exotic vocal sample over bruising percussion as the Trunk Muzik emcee lashes out at the haters (“F*ck the critics with a spiked d*ck when it can fit barely.”) and defiantly affirms his individuality: “In this forest I’m a lonely tree / My limbs are covered with tattoos and my roots, they run deep.” And Lil Jon? The Crunk King actually excels as wingman, his gruffness accentuating the record’s bone-crushing vibe. Like what you’re hearing? Hard White is set to hit iTunes next Tuesday, August 8, paving the way for the September 27, release of Yela’s Shady/Interscope debut album, Radioactive.

When I saw the title and the guest feature credit for this song my brain was quick to judge Yela and the direction of his music. Then I pressed play and those feelings went away. Now, which MDs will be the first to give Yela a go.

I wanted to like it more than I do. Yela delivers but the production is average and Lil Jon is less than.

Haha man Yela always does his thing, "They prolly think I'm a Limp Bizkit!" He does quite well on these hard type beats, i.e. "Daddy's Lambo"

Absolute quality first single by Yela! that don't feels like a true departure, but definitely seems like an improvement of the elements which made people like his music in the first place.
It might not prove to be a "crossover" hit for him, but will more than satisfy any fan looking for a hit of the raw uncut hip-hop dats all about flowing with impeccable ability and beats that will have your neck snapping like rap music should! Tha Hydrox makes a SOLID first impression with this banger right here! This is club music for folks during heavy bombing: it’s exceedingly aggressive, turning aggression and in-your-face attitude up-to-11 with choice selection of words of profanity, and an unintelligible looped vocal sample dats digitally treated in ways that I’m sure most legal systems would view as at least felonious. A Lil Jon feature is you’d never see with any of today’s artists, but I am pleased to hear that they brought him in to handle hypeman duties for the track. This is now, without a doubt, my favorite song from YelaWolf and most definitely the one that will elicit the strongest crowd reaction out of all his previous songs. The energy is hard to deny, and the simplicity of concept is easy to get committed to. |

Yelawolf is killing it lyrically on just about everything he touches. This is that hard beat he needs to get his mainstream career going .

A really dope song. Yela is a great as usual and Lil Jon wasn't as annoying on this track as he is with others. The production definitely enhanced the song.
