TRIAL BY FIRE (EX)Photographer: Ryan Smith . Sauntering into a smoky roadside dive with a cowboy hat, rapper Yelawolf gives his audience a reintroduction on his third album, Trial by Fire, which finds him embracing the sounds of his Southern roots. Fans of his earliest output will notice a marked difference here no more Killer Mikes or Raekwons but for fans of Love Story, Yelawolf provided enough foreshadowing on that 2015 LP that this shift shouldn't be too jarring.
