Yelawolf may not appear to be your stereotypical southern rapper, with his countless tattoos, long hair and skater steez, but the Alabama native is busy creating a buzz nonetheless. He released his first mixtape, Trunk Muzik, earlier this year, and signed to Interscope Records just last week. We decided to give him a break from the topic of music when we brought him into DrJays.com’s NYC office, and got him to model pieces from ZOO YORK. He also answered a few style questions for us, like what he finds hot on the ladies, and his favorite brand right now. Check out the Q&A, as well as more shots of Yelawolf rocking ZOO YORK: Kiki: What is one trend you will never be caught in? Yelawolf: “Skinny jeans.” Kiki: How did I know you would say that? Yelawolf: (Laughs) Kiki: What are a few of your favorite brands right now? Yelawolf: The Hundreds—they’re making some dope sh*t. And Orisue. Kiki: Who do you consider a style icon? Yelawolf: Gipp from Goodie Mob Kiki: What’s your favorite sneaker of all time? There’s a shoe from Walmart. it’s a classic Alabama sneaker with two Velcro straps. The way the kids wear them there is fresh, with the straps open, paired with a fresh white tee and jeans. Kiki: What’s one look you can’t resist on the ladies? Yelawolf: Sneakers and panties.
