Caskey and Yelawolf are two American rappers who have collaborated on several songs and projects, most notably the album Yelawolf Blacksheep, released in 2021. But are they related by blood or family? The answer is no. They are simply friends and musical partners who share a similar vision and passion for rap. However, they do consider each other as brothers in spirit, as they have formed a strong bond over their common experiences, values and goals.
How Caskey and Yelawolf Met and Became Friends
Caskey (formerly of Cash Money Records) and Yelawolf (formerly of Shady Records) first met in 2019, when they featured on each other’s songs, “No Such Thing as Free” and “Remember”. They instantly clicked and realized they had a lot in common, such as their love for tattoos, motorcycles, and southern culture. They also respected each other’s skills and styles, as they both blended different genres of music, such as rock, country, and metal, into their rap.
The two rappers decided to work together more and create an album’s worth of material. They locked in at Yelawolf’s studio in Nashville, Tennessee, and recorded over 20 songs in a span of two weeks. They also shot several music videos, such as “Been a Problem” and “Billy and the Purple Datsun”, showcasing their chemistry and charisma. The result was the album Yelawolf Blacksheep, which was released on February 19, 2021, and featured guest appearances from DJ Paul of Three 6 Mafia and Cub da CookUpBoss.

They also faced a lot of criticism and backlash from some fans and critics, who accused them of being sellouts, traitors, or culture vultures, because of their affiliation with mainstream labels or their incorporation of other musical influences.
However, Caskey and Yelawolf did not let the negativity affect them. Instead, they embraced their uniqueness and diversity, and used it as a source of strength and inspiration. They also expressed their loyalty and gratitude to their true fans, who supported them throughout their careers and appreciated their artistic vision. They said that being a blacksheep means being different, but also being proud and confident of who you are and what you do.
