Alabama native and rapper, <strong>Yelawolf </strong>has just signed a major deal after being on and gaining much popularity in the underground scene for years. The ink is still drying from recently signing on the dotted line with <strong>Jimmy Iovine</strong>&rsquo;s Interscope Records, the label home of such artists as <strong>Eminem</strong>, <strong>P.

This just goes to show that any dream is possible, no matter how far-fetched it may be.</p><p>Check out Yelawolf profess his love for his one true &ldquo;girlfriend,&rdquo; in &ldquo;Box Chevy: &nbsp;Part 2&rdquo;:</p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="450" height="385" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="_cx" value="11906" /><param name="_cy" value="10186" /><param name="FlashVars" /><param name="Movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sRETz7pPPOk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00&quot; /><param name="Src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sRETz7pPPOk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00&quot; /><param name="WMode" value="Window" /><param name="Play" value="0" /><param name="Loop" value="-1" /><param name="Quality" value=&q
