Yeat releases his much anticipated fifth studio album, LYFESTYLE.

American rapper, Yeat has returned with his latest album, LYFESTYLE, delivering a more refined yet energetic sound that solidifies his status in the rap scene. In an interview with The Fader, Yeat explained that the album showcases a stronger focus on his rap skills, evident throughout the project. Tracks like “SPEEDBALL” and “LYING 5 FUN” feature the fast-paced synths and auto tuned vocals fans loved from his previous album, 2093. What sets LYFESTYLE apart is Yeat’s seamless collaborations with artists like Lil Durk on the title track, blending trap beats with his signature rage-driven sound. Don Toliver joins on “NEW HIGH,” creating one of the album’s standout moments with Yeat’s distorted vocals. Solo tracks like “SO WHAT” and “GEEK TIME” highlight his unique vocal style. With 22 songs, LYFESTYLE showcases a more polished Yeat while maintaining the bold energy that made him a breakout star.
