Embers to Ashes

Everlast returns with Embers to Ashes, his eighth album and first in eight years; a raw, reflective collection that captures a life shaped by hard-won lessons, sudden turns, and moments of both triumph and loss. Produced by Yelawolf, mixed by Chris Lord-Alge and recorded in Nashville with contributions from songwriter David Ray (Jelly Roll, Teddy Swims), the 2026 release finds him at his most unflinching and emotionally direct. Everlast is familiar. It’s not just that he recorded one of the biggest breakout hip-hop hits in history - 1992’s “Jump Around” with House of Pain - or that he made the empathy anthem “What It’s Like” from his triple-Platinum Whitey Ford Sings the Blues. It’s not the GRAMMY nominations or his win with Santana. It’s the way he redefined rap’s relationship with blues and rock, and the humanity he’s always brought to that sound. For more than three decades, he has documented life as he’s lived it - from humbling highs to devastating lows — and on Embers to Ashes, that perspective cuts deeper than ever.
