Where I'm from is like 'Hustle & Flow' versus '8 Mile.' It's that really grimy, box-Chevy, dope-boy, working-class music.
Entangled between a dream and a coma.
Sometimes I want to party, sometimes I want to fight and sometimes I want to cry.
Name Yellow Wolf comes from life experiences. Yellow is the color of the sun - its power, fire, and hunger. Wolf represents my fierceness and ability to survive.
Yeah, I have animosity, a chip on my shoulder. But I love, too.

Most of my albums have a concept. They all have some kind of theme, some kind of feeling. I really take pride in that.
I don't go to clubs and throw money and pop bottles. That's not my thing, no disrespect.
You don't want to get stuck with a record that you've done with someone that you feel obligated to put out - that's not really dope, just because you made an effort to get together and work.
Hip-hop is the only music in the world where you can take any instrument and make it hip hop. It's anybody's music. It's what you make of it. That's for anything you do in life.
Just because a rapper is white, I don't feel the need to attack them.
I'm always gonna have the darker edgy music; it is always in my pocket because it comes so naturally to me.
The way I perceive an album to sound and the way I put out mixtapes are two different energies. There's a different focus; there's a different sound.
I love performing. I love getting out there. It's kind of like why I make music.
