Words from Yelawolf

“

I just feel like no one’s heard Marshall in this particular world, this Southern gritty club vibe. When I heard it, I knew that it was more special than I expected it to be. I was like, “This is a serious record. This ain’t no mixtape record, this is for my album.” The idea [of getting Marshall on the song], as soon as I heard it, I was like, “Man, if I could just get Marshall on this record.” And honestly, I was thinking how impossible that was going to be to get him on this record because it’s something that’s out of his zone — I just didn’t know if it would make sense creatively for him. I just didn’t know.

So I went to Detroit, played him the song, and he sat with it for a while to try and figure out whether, I guess, he wanted to do it or not, and I was like, “Come on, man, please, please do this record.”
His creative process… it’s a mystery to me. I don’t know. He goes off into some obscure cave in the Caucasus Mountains and fuckin’ writes his verses over a fuckin’ single candle in a dark room with a séance, Ouija boards — I don’t know what the fuck. Mad scientist.
