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 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 in 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 changed 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 Alive and 4L, and the Trendi EP, before signing to Field Trip Recordings / Geffen Records for 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. Recently, he had his highest album debut to date with AftërLyfe at #4 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album includes a feature from YoungBoy Never Broke Again, in addition to Yeat's alter egos Kranky Kranky and Luh Geeky. It peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 and number one on the Billboard Rap Albums chart. On May 3, Yeat released the single "Already Rich"; the song, often referred to by the unofficial name "ard up", was originally leaked in 2021 and saw minor success on social media apps such as TikTok. On May 26, the single "My Wrist" featuring Atlanta rapper Young Thug was released; this song, notably, features production by producer Pi'erre Bourne. On August 10, Yeat released the single "Bigger Then Everything" alongside a music video directed by Cole Bennett. On October 6, Yeat was featured on Drake's track "IDGAF" from his album For All the Dogs; the song would go on to debut at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his first top ten entry on the chart, as well as his first number one on the Billboard Global 200. On February 16, 2024, Yeat released his fourth studio album, 2093, with features from Lil Wayne and Future, and a guest appearance from Donald Glover on "Power Trip".2093 debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. Songs "Breathe" and "If We Being Real" broke through as some of the songs that went viral on social media platforms. Just a day later, 2093 (P2), was released. This included two bonus tracks. A couple days later, 2093 (P3) released exclusive to digital download with 4 bonus tracks.
