Trunk Muzik III is the fifth studio album by American rapper Yelawolf, released on March 29, 2019.
This marks their first production collaboration on one of Yelawolf's studio albums since the release of 2015's Love Story.
In 2009, Yelawolf collaborated with producer WLPWR on Trunk Muzik, which was released to much acclaim and garnered him a strong following in the hip hop community.
The mixtape also showcases a stylistic departure for Yelawolf, one that incorporates elements of country folk and southern rock into hip hop, a sound that would be prevalent on his following studio albums, Love Story (2015) and Trial By Fire (2017).
[8] In mid-2017, while taking a short hiatus from the music industry, Yelawolf posted a video of himself on Instagram with the caption "TM3", which led to speculation that he might have begun work on a third installment in the Trunk Muzik series.
In January 2018, Yelawolf officially announced production of Trunk Muzik 3 had begun in Nashville, Tennessee with WLPWR once again producing.
[9] During a show in Denver, Colorado, Yelawolf announced that Trunk Muzik III would be his final album under Shady Records.
"[10] During the first week of 2019, Yelawolf released a promotional freestyle titled "Get Buck", which would be indicative to the general sound of the album.
[12] A total of 8 freestyles have currently been released, including "Jesco White",[13] "Billy Goat",[14] "Skallywag",[15] "Elvis Messy",[16] "Mtn.
Dew Mouth"[17] and "Bloody Sunday", the latter of which garnered controversy after it featured lines targeting rappers G-Eazy and Post Malone.
We just added a song last week, that's the reason why I take my time with releasing albums, and projects, because you never really know what's going to happen or what might inspire you.
