Crossroads and Cutlass with Yelawolf
Alabama-born Yelawolf blends double-time rhyme with blues grit, and lately he has leaned harder into rock via Sometimes Y, which colors his rap set with rough-edged hooks. Minneapolis's Prof is a slick writer and bold showman, known for big choruses and tight, punchy beats that snap live. Texas upstart That Mexican OT brings a deep drawl over trunk-rattling bass, cutting lines that land fast and clear.
Likely moments on deck
Expect a mixed bill set where Till It's Gone, Pop the Trunk, Andre The Giant, and Johnny Dang are strong bets, with call-backs and quick segues between them.People in the room
The crowd skews from longtime Slumerican diehards to indie rap fans and newer TikTok listeners, with denim vests, Astros caps, and workwear mixing near the barricade. You will hear pockets of people rapping full verses while others hang back for the hooks, and the room tends to swell when the low end hits. Trivia heads note that Yelawolf filmed the Pop the Trunk video in his hometown of Gadsden, and Prof built a loyal base through his annual hometown show, Prof Outdoors. Treat the setlist and production talk here as informed guesses rather than guarantees, since pacing and songs can shift each night.Prof, Yelawolf, and That Mexican OT: the scene beyond the stage

What you see from the rail
Many carry vintage patches or custom caps, and a few fans sport grills in a nod to Johnny Dang lore. Before sets, playlists steer from Southern classics to Midwest indie rap, and groups trade verses quietly while saving voices for the hooks.Shared rituals, local flavor
When Yelawolf steps up, a quick Slumerican chant often rolls out, while Prof crowds tend to answer clipped lines on Andre The Giant without being asked. That Mexican OT brings out synchronized bounces and OT chants on downbeats, with plenty of smiles as people film the drops. Merch tables lean toward bold logos and workwear cuts, plus a few playful designs riffing on trucks, wolves, and iced-out fonts. The overall tone is lively and open, with small crews making space for others when the bass gets big.Prof, Yelawolf, and That Mexican OT: craft and punch
Live, Yelawolf flips between tight, quick bars and gravelly sung hooks, and the band often drops the beat to let his voice hang for a bar.
Hooks built to carry a room
Prof favors sturdy, mid-tempo beats with punchy snares, building choruses you can pick up by the second pass. That Mexican OT rides low, heavy bass with a relaxed pocket, letting witty lines pop while the hook leans half-time.DJ brains, band heart
Arrangements tend to be lean: a DJ at the core, with live drums or guitar added for weight on the bigger numbers. A neat detail is how Yelawolf sometimes opens Till It's Gone with a stripped acoustic intro before the drop, changing the mood without changing the message. Prof often stretches a bridge and cues crowd call-backs, turning a two-minute track into a patient, rolling chant. Lighting tracks the music, shifting to warm whites on sung hooks and colder tones when the beats get darker, keeping focus on the voices first.Prof, Yelawolf, and That Mexican OT fans: kindred picks
Fans of Prof, Yelawolf, and That Mexican OT often cross paths with Tech N9ne, whose independent drive, high-tempo flows, and dramatic live cues echo this bill.
