Earlier this year, Yeat catapulted the world into the future with the release of blockbuster project 2093. Now, he travels back to present day to deliver LYFESTYLE, a thrilling rap album highlighting the dynamic and experimental style that’s become synonymous of Yeat’s growing discography while also paying homage to the young artist’s early career.
Today’s release of LYFESTYLE cements Yeat as one of hip hop’s most established and respected new artists, being embraced by peers with superstar collaborations across the album including Don Toliver and Lil Durk. The new album also arrives along side new merch in collaboration with designer Heron Person and Cactus Plant Flea Market. The 22-track project showcases Yeat continuing his fruitful creative relationships with some of his original collaborators including Summrs and producer Synthetic. LYFESTYLE masterfully weaves these traces of nostalgia with newer elements of Yeat’s experimental side – seen in songs like “Gone 4 a min”, and “Forever again”.
LYFESTYLE arrives on the heels of a massive year for Yeat, following February’s release of album 2093, his fourth entry in the Top 10 in only 2 years: Lyfë (No. 10 in 2022), 2 Alivë (No. 6 in 2022), AftërLyfe (No. 4 in 2023) and 2093 (No. 2 in 2024).
Teasing for LYFESTYLE kicked off this summer when Yeat hinted at new music during his special three-show North American run across New York, Los Angeles, and Portland. The first official announcement of the upcoming album arrived in September when Yeat’s Lyfestyle Corporation confirmed the name LYFESTYLE through a video graffitiing the word across a Lamborghini. This reveal was followed closely by another video taking over New York’s Times Square billboards to announce LYFESTYLE’s October release, and the official album trailer which can be viewed here. Most recently, Yeat embarked on an international tour across the EU & UK—an explosive run through 9 cities which included his first ever headlining show in London, which The Guardian noted as a “ribcage-reverberating success”—before the final album easter egg earlier this week when Lyfestyle Corporation unveiled an eerie video of massive flame letters spelling out the album name in a deserted field. Now, LYFESTYLE has finally arrived, see full track-listing below.

ABOUT YEAT:
Low-fi melodies, clever cutting lyrics, and a distinctly mysterious persona are all highlights that build up the enigma that is Yeat, one of the most interesting rises in music. The prolific rapper broke through in 2021 when his song “Gët Busy” began appearing in TikTok videos. The track became so ubiquitous that it caught the attention of heavyweight rappers, including Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, Gunna, and many more. As his fame skyrocketed, so did the mania surrounding the artist’s cult-like following which led to the shutdown of a show in Los Angeles at The Roxy. Now, with two headlining tours under his belt, three Billboard Top 10 Album Debuts, and over 8 billion global streams, the young talent is well on his way to superstardom.
Yeat was born Noah Smith in 2000. He began releasing music around 2015, taking notes from Young Thug’s melodic strangeness and the inventive production styles of rappers who were rising to prominence as he grew up. He started out using the moniker Lil Yeat, but shortened it to Yeat in 2018. That year, he released his first mixtape, Deep Blue Strips. From then on, he was in hyperdrive. As his fame skyrocketed, Yeat released the mixtapes Alivëand 4L, and the Trëndi EP, before the release of his first proper studio album. Up 2 Më was issued in September 2021 followed by a second studio LP, 2 Alivë, in early 2022.
Just last year, Yeat was tapped by superstar Drake to collaborate on record “IDGAF” which is featured on Drake’s album For All The Dogs. The song, which was an instant hit, debuted at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and #1 on the Billboard Global 200.
Most recently, Yeat had his highest album debut to date earlier this year with 2093 at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart. Within its first week of release, the blockbuster project reached over 150M global streams and sold 70,000 equivalent album units. 2093 marked Yeat’s fourth entry into the Top 10 in only two years: Lyfë (No. 10 in 2022), 2 Alivë (No. 6 in 2022), AftërLyfe (No. 4 in 2023) and now 2093 (No. 2 in 2024).
