Paper bags hiding 24-ounce PBRs, and a strong scent of marijuana fill the Sunset Strip House of Blues. Tattooed fans, decked out in cut off tees, Mohawks, and baseball hats bob their heads to the sounds of Slumerican’s Big Henry and Rittz before Yelawolf hits the stage for yet another sold-out show.

No amount of PBR can prepare fans for the incredible show that is on its way. Big Henry and Rittz warm up the crowd with their rapid-rhymes and acapella flows. The crowd is going crazy for Rittz, who is effortlessly entrancing all who filled the House of Blues with his full head of red hair, “Original Gangsta” Jesus t-shirt, beanie, and bright silver teddy-bear sneakers. 

He performs “Crown Royal” as he sips a cup of liquor, followed by his favorite track, “Wishin,” before ending his set on a high note with “High Five.” Rittz’s set is almost enough for the crowd, whose energy appears to be entirely focused on the Atlanta-based rapper. Those who knew his music are rapping every line, while those who are just being introduced to the artist aggressively bob their heads in approval.

Fans scream “Yelawolf! Fuck that shit!” as they await the Alabama rapper’s entrance. The stage is suddenly transformed into an old Mexi-Western scene. A traditional Mexican blanket is draped over a table on the corner of the stage, set with candles and the bull head-skull. An American flag is suspended on the opposite end of the stage, while a large black flag with stars and lightning bolts hangs in the background of the set. Monster Energy Drinks, 12-ounce cans of beer and water sit on the stage. Yelawolf will not drink this beer but he will spritz it all over the audience during his high-energy set.

Smoke fills the stage as Yelawolf’s band takes their places. DJ Klever’s set lies behind a 1949 black Chevy with white details. He and the guitarist wear fashionable wool cowboy hats and pointed-leather shoes. 

Yelawolf steps onto the stage with high-energy, jumping around to “Honey Brown,” a single off of his upcoming album “Love Story,” as Blink-182’s Travis Barker takes his seat behind the drums. Yelawolf is decked out in a wool, khaki-colored, cowboy hat, an embroidered black button-up shirt, pointy leather shoes, and a faded pair of dark-denim. 

The rapper keeps up the bounce and follows up with songs like “Good To Go,” “Push 'Em” and “Catfish Billy” before bringing a surprise guest to the stage. 

“Speaking of all things country and all things gangster, I’d like to bring out Gangsta Boo,” says Yelawolf as Gangsta Boo surprises the audience with “Throw It Up.”

The passion and spirit on the stage and in the crowd is undeniable. Some try to start mosh-pits to Yelawolf’s rap-rock sound, while the rest jump up and down throughout the entire set. Travis Barker tosses a drumstick to the crowd in the middle of the set, before grabbing a replacement and ripping a drum solo. 

Yelawolf briefly takes his shades off, giving the crowd a glimpse of his face for two songs, before putting them back on for remainder of the set. He eventually unbuttons and removes his embroidered shirt, revealing a “Slumerican” muscle tee and his tattoo-covered arms and torso.

Yelawolf is not only a rap star but also a rock star. His southern twang, head-banging energy, and swift string of bars allow him to relate to the entire audience in some way. He is a white rapper with a ton of musical influences, and of that, he is not ashamed.

Yelawolf is even able to maintain the crowd's energy during more mellow tracks like "Billy Crystal."His guitarist is one of the most impressive elements of the show, as he switches between guitar, bass, and keyboard, throughout the entire concert. 

Rittz joined the stage once again during “Box Chevy,” before Yelawolf raps hits like “Daddy’s Lambo” and “Marijuana,” which the rapper says he wrote for his mother. The rapper also surprised the audience with a sneak peak of “Whiskey In Bottle” off of his upcoming album before closing his set with “Till It’s Gone.”

“Make some noise for Marshall Mathers for opening the door for me,” the Shady Records artist says, before he thanks his fans for packing the Hollywood House of Blues.

Yelawolf is a quarter of the way through his "Slumerican Made Tour" and it is very much worth the money. He kicked off the tour in Birmingham, AL, in late October and will finish the tour in Tennessee on December 21.
