The lead single from Whiskey & Roses blends Southern rap, outlaw country, and raw emotion—marking a powerful new chapter for both artists.
“Amnesia” sets the emotional tone for Whiskey & Roses, the collaborative project from Yelawolf and J Michael Phillips. On this haunting single, the two artists channel heartbreak, confusion, and betrayal with cinematic intensity.
Phillips delivers the cutting hook—“She act like she don't remember all I've done for her”—while Yelawolf fires back with gritty, introspective verses that recall the raw honesty of his Shady debut. The result is a moody, genre-defying standout that anchors the full album.
The chemistry is real, even if their backgrounds are different. Yelawolf brings his signature fusion of Southern rap and rock, shaped by years of experimentation. With nearly 2 billion streams across platforms, his career includes acclaimed albums like Love Story and Ghetto Cowboy, plus collaborations with Eminem, Ed Sheeran, and Travis Barker. He's also the founder of the independent label Slumerican and is currently on his 45 Tour, delivering high-energy performances to fans across the U.S.
J Michael Phillips complements that fire with a voice grounded in country, blues, and soul. His songwriting is honest and unflinching, with roots in the outlaw tradition but an ear for modern production. As an emerging artist, “Amnesia” gives him a national platform—one that matches his vocal strength with emotional storytelling. Together, the two artists stretch across genre lines without losing their identities.
The single also defines the sonic and emotional range of Whiskey & Roses. Built on themes of regret, resilience, and self-reckoning, the album pulls from rap, country, blues, and Southern rock. It's a sound that's both familiar and unpredictable—personal, but universal. “Amnesia” isn't just the intro; it's the emotional centerpiece.
