Music and lyrics
White Trash Beautiful primarily mixes hip-hop tropes with arrangements built on bluesy strumming. Musically, Everlast and producer Dante Ross marry his gruff delivery with spare acoustic guitar layered in subdued hip-hop rhymths.[2] The album features hip-hop references, including lyrical quotes, turntable scratches and explicit lines and bravado.[4]
The album mainly blends country and blues into lyrical narratives of loneliness.[2] Everlast uses a haggard voice for singing grim songs.[4] He occasionally engages in rap clichés, with verses expressing street bravado and cynicism in addition to relationship issues and heartbreak.[2]
