Everlast: Embers To Ashes

Everlast returns in 2026 with “Embers to Ashes,” his eighth album and his first in eight years; an authentic, reflective collection that captures a life marked by hard-won lessons, sudden twists, and moments of triumph and loss. Produced by Yelawolf, mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, and recorded in Nashville with the collaboration of songwriter David Ray (Jelly Roll, Teddy Swims), the album showcases him as fearless and emotionally raw as ever. Everlast is a household name. It’s not just that he recorded one of the biggest hip-hop hits in history— “Jump Around” from 1992 with House of Pain—or that he created the anthem of empathy “What It’s Like” from his triple-platinum album *Whitey Ford Sings the Blues*. It’s not the Grammy nominations or his victory with Santana. It’s the way he has redefined rap’s relationship to the blues and rock, and the humanity he has always infused into this sound. For more than three decades, he has chronicled life as he has lived it—from humbling highs to devastating lows—and on “Embers to Ashes,” this perspective cuts deeper than ever before.
