Yelawolf, Caskey & Doobie Preach The Dotrine Of “No Such Thing As Free”

The 8th track on Yelawolf’s lauded Trunk Muzik 3 project is duly inspired by a lunch box impression. When somebody tells you “There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch,” they might as well be urging you to buck and try harder. That’s exactly how Caskey leads the discussion with the story of a folk act gaining his trust. He and Yela’s other guest Doobie, both demonstrate an understanding of race and prejudice that is altogether important considering who they are, and what they represent.

On “No Such Thing as Free,” Yelawolf strikes a similar pose as in “Box Chevy 6,”  by making the essentialist argument that no real solution exists when it comes to gaining success in the music industry. Having tried both the indies and the majors in equal measure, Yelawolf is the shaman guide in relation to his guests. Trap Muzik 3  is every bit the project of an artist who was given complete autonomy every step of the way.

Quotable Lyrics:

Ayy, I don’t care how much dope you sellin’
You should care more about the hoes that you tellin’
Dirt, leather soft, I’m reppin’
Always gotta ride with a weapon
Spent too much time outside with the felons
Daddy was an outlaw, ride with the eightball.

– Caskey
