Recently, Yelawolf decided to push his debut album back until 2012. Many were looking forward to hearing the first official album from Yealwolf. When he delayed the album, his fans were disappointed. But, this delay has given Yealwolf the time to add more guest appearances.

For Radioactive, Yelawolf already has Eminem, Gangsta Boo, and Lil Jon. Now, Yealwolf can add Kid Rock to the list. Kid Rock was initially one of the first white rappers to enter the game. But, when he shifted to rock music, his throne was eventually taken by Eminem.

Yelawolf has been dubbed the "Eminem of the South" by many fans and critics. The comparisons come from their sound, as opposed to lyrical content. It was ironic when Em added Yelawolf to the Shady Records roster. Even more ironic is Kid Rock joining the track listing of his upcoming debut album.

Lil Jon preps Crunk Rock album

Lil Jon's new Crunk Rock album has been in the pipeline for years now, but he has finally confessed that he has returned to the studio in an effort to finish the album.

A recent interview revealed that Jon was sticking to his intention of releasing the album, which is a rock / rap hybrid. In a project which had an initial release date of 2006, Crunk Rock was delayed time and time again, more recently due to the ongoing battle with his record label, TVT.

2008 saw the end of his TVT contract, which released him from the label and allowed him to sign a new deal. He now aims to release Crunk Rock early next year.

"We're pretty much like 80 percent done," he told the Associated Press about the Crunk Rock project, which would be his first solo album. "It's probably one of my best albums to date in the sense that it's got a little bit of everything that I know everybody's going to groove to."

Jon has stated that all the tracks he wants included on the album are there, so all that remains are polishing things up and applying the finishing touches.

"It got me back to my core, and when I started as a DJ, I loved making people dance," Jon told the AP. "That's what I'm getting back to."
