Within its first week of release, the blockbuster project reached over 150M global streams and sold 70,000 equivalent album units. The album marked Yeat’s 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).

Since exploding on to the scene, Yeat has quickly become one of the most exciting and enigmatic rises of his generation in music. Low-fi melodies, clever cutting lyrics, and a distinctly mysterious persona are all highlights that contribute to the young talent’s unique brand. Earlier this year, Yeat hit a massive career milestone with his highest charting album to date, 2093 debuting at #2 on the Billboard 200. Within its first week of release, the blockbuster project reached over 150M global streams and sold 70,000 equivalent album units. This marked Yeat’s 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).
Yeat 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 shortened it to Yeat in 2018. That year, he released his first mixtape, Deep Blue Strips. From then on, he was in hyperdrive. Yeat broke through in 2021 when his song “Gët Busy” went viral online. The track became so ubiquitous that it caught the attention of heavyweight rappers, including Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, 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, Yeat has two headlining tours under his belt, four Billboard Top 10 Album Debuts, and a staggering 8B global streams. As his fame skyrocketed, Yeat released the mixtapes Alivë and 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, AftërLyfe in 2023, and 2093 in 2024. 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. With much more music coming soon, Yeat is well on his way to superstardom.
