The best part about the project is the fact that within such a short amount of time, Yelawolf figured out a way to show off so many different styles of his lyricism. Sheeran even ventures into spitting a “rhyme” in the same song, but it fits well with the flow of the EP. The surprise is how well they actually mesh Yelawolf takes the lyrical route, while more often than not Sheeran provides the powerful melodies that lace the songs even while Yelawolf rhymes (during the intro to “You Don’t Know (For F**k’s Sake)”, Yelawolf even refers to him as the “Melody Man”). To be clear, this is a collaborative effort from Yela and Ed, but that becomes obvious by the end of the second track listed. Although the EP is only four songs, it’s well worth the download and sparks the question if they’ll work together again in the future.

The “Slumdon Bridge” EP has him teaming with up-and-coming UK singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran to make something quite unlike anything you may have heard this year. The best way to describe Yelawolf’s musical pattern as of late is to simply say “Expect the Unexpected.” Since his Shady Records release Radioactive, the Alabama native has been doing everything in his power to remain at the top of his game, including taking the unorthodox road of releasing another EP while promoting his album.
