Louie Vito Talks About Yelawolf

[Amaranthine]

He's an Olympic snowboarder.

What is your go-to song or artist?
I go through phases, but right now, I've been running Yelawolf’s stuff. I’ve been listening to a lot of Meek Mill. I think I have maybe five songs of his on my playlist. From that song with Jim Jones, that one with B.o.B. on his latest mixtape and some off that Dreamchasers.

We’re big fans of Yelawolf here, too.
Yeah, we’ve been snowboarding a few times. I brought out Yelawolf during Christmas time in Colorado and then we went to Utah. He’s been snowboarding quite a bit and is super stoked to do it. It’s really cool to have an artist you listen to doing your sport.

How’d you get involved with him?
He was friends with Rob Dyrdek and the Fantasy Factory, so I saw him a couple times one summer. He was on tour with Wiz and he came to Utah, and I talked to him and we saw each other around. We had the same mutual friends. I talked to him about snowboarding and I had an X Games party that he performed at. It’s been about a year and a half to two years now that I’ve known him. I just really back his music, and to see how big he’s gotten is awesome, because he’s still the same person. His shows are amazing. I hate going to a show where people are rapping over their lyrics and then talk to somebody midway through the song. His shows are so good and it’s cool to see. He’s picking up a huge following now.

It was a great move for Shady to pick him up.
Nobody is going to want anything to do with Shady Records. Nobody should ever say anything about them. You can’t mess with them. With Slaughterhouse, Eminem, and Yelawolf on there, nobody would survive. Everybody needs to keep their mouths shut.
