#Shoutouts to the big homie Yelawolf who reportedly signed to Jimmy Iovine’s Interscope Records label today! I found out the news from my girl Miss Info’s site!

A big birdie tells me that Yelawolf has officially signed to Interscope Records. Again, buzz+climate created a bidding war, but it seems Jimmy Iovine was highly motivated. Congrats to the Alabaman! Now usually I just pretend to be interested in people, but I’m honestly intrigued by this fellow (and I enjoy his Zannel). Fans who were introduced to Yelawolf’s twang on Juelz Santana’s “Mixing up the Medicine” may need to ease into his unfiltered solo work, but I like his southern-comfort-in-his-own-skin. It’s definitely attracted some vets (Bun B, Travis Barker, the Neptunes, etc), not to mention, everyone who saw Yelawolf at SxSW left raving as well. So that’s no small feat. – @MissInfo

That’s 2 artists in 2 weeks who got signed to a Major label…. first @Diggy_Simmons @AtlanticRecords & @Yelawolf to @Interscope!

Congrats again homie! And best of luck to you! More fire in the process i’m hoping!

[Edit:] According to various sources online, the deal might not be confirmed yet.. stay tuned.
