Our very own Gadsden, Alabama rapper with a southern drawl will spit straight lava lyrics at Crossroads. AGAIN! That’s right! For all of you who missed his show in February, Yela is coming back. We’ve got Michael Wayne Atha, better known as YelaWolf – and a favorite of Eminem – coming back to the Rocket City September 16th and tickets go on sale today!

And you can bet that I’m going to be there front and center LIVE tweeting with OVE’s other queen of all things social, Larkin Grant.

Performing along with Yela is special guests Rittz and Trouble Andrew. You might remember that Yela played Crossroads back in February with Huntsville native Jackie Chain, an up-and-comer who has opened for groups like TI, Paul Wall, and 3-6 Mafia. Chain described himself in a recent Huntsville Times article as a “little country boy from Alabama.” The thirty year-old artist wears city pride on his sleeves with Huntsville Stars and Huntsvegas tattoos.

For those unfamiliar with the vocal stylings of our Alabama rappers, check out Yelawolf’s ‘Pop The Trunk,’ which features prominent references to both Alabama and Auburn Universities. Jackie Chain’s new mixtape After Hours droped February 7, and features a much-anticipated track ‘Don’t Violate’ with Gangsta Boo. Fans can see other videos by both artists on YouTube.

This show is certain to be epic. It is a rare chance to see home-grown Alabama talent in an intimate venue. Don’t miss out!

Tickets are available online or by calling the Crossroads box office at 256-513-6733. Doors open at 8 pm. This is a 19+ show. $20 advance / $25 at the door.
