Slumafia is the second collaborative extended play by American rappers Yelawolf and DJ Paul. It was released on April 16, 2021, by Slumerican and Scale-A-Ton. The album reunites Yelawolf with collaborator DJ Paul, of Three 6 Mafia, who produced the entirety of the EP. This marks the second Yelawolf project to be entirely produced by DJ Paul, following the release of the 2013 extended play, Black Fall.[1] The album was part of Yelawolf's "April Onslaught", a series of weekly album releases in the month of April, which included Turquoise Tornado (with RiFF RAFF),[2] Mile Zero (with DJ Muggs), and Mudmouth. [3] It was also released in close succession to the collaborative album Yelawolf Blacksheep, with rapper Caskey, which was released on February 19, 2021.[4]
Recording sessions for the album took place at the House of Blues recording studio in Nashville, Tennessee in late 2020, after the recording of Yelawolf Blacksheep was completed. Although it was the third Yelawolf project to be released in 2021, it was the final album to be recorded during this period. In addition to DJ Paul and Caskey, the album features Badd Wolf, Big Henri, Bray, Gangsta Boo, Seed of the 6ix and PRETTY SHY.
The name of the album is a combination of Yelawolf's record label, Slumerican, and DJ Paul's hip hop group, Three 6 Mafia.
