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.

Yelawolf has dreamed of releasing Radioactive for some time. There were several people he wanted to have on his first album. Through his work with Shady Records and his own movement, many legends are working with Yelawolf. He has used this to his advantage, putting them on his debut album.

Eminem has recorded a verse for the album. The song is called "Throw it Up" and it also features Gangsta Boo. Yelawolf said he got them on the track to make a classic song. He said it would have been easy to recruit his boss for a pop record, but he wanted to make something memorable.
