Listen to YelaWolf, “To Whom It May Concern”

Sometimes you have to look within, examine your outlook on things and understand how it affects others. YelaWolf does just that in his poignant and thoughtful single "To Whom It May Concern." The Alabama rapper was involved in a controversy just a few months ago when he defended the Confederate flag. "To Whom It May Concern" sees YelaWolf rethinking his position, particularly in light of the tragic murders of nine people this past summer in Charleston, S.C. and the racial motivations behind them.

On the song, YelaWolf credits a conversation with his friend Big K.R.I.T. as the inspiration for this self-reflection. YelaWolf raps for over seven minutes without any hook, detailing his story of growing up as a white kid in the south who loved hip-hop to his current position as a famous artist. He explains why his views have changed and how he now realizes the implications that his words have. It's a deeply personal song that truly takes the listener into YelaWolf's mindset.
