Yeat is back with some News in Hip Hop "LYFË", a 12-track follow-up to February's 2 Alivë. His old colleague Lil Uzi Vert is the EP's lone feature. The 22-year-old artist revealed LYFE in a statement to his audiences last Thursday and accompanied by the single "Talk," which seems to have nearly 7 million Spotify streams as of this writing.
Yeat released 2 Alivë earlier this year and followed it up a few weeks afterward with a pair of Uzi collaborations, dubbed the 2 Aliv (Gek Pack). Over the summer, the "on tha lin" rapper also went viral with a Cole Bennett-directed video for Minions: The Rise of Gru, which was soundtracked by a new Yeat song named "Rich Minion."
Bennett stated in an interview with Complex: “I was like, ‘There’s this artist, and a lot of his catalog is about things that don’t mesh well with the Minions’ aesthetic. You know, he mentions drugs and money and all sorts of things. But I really think he’s the perfect fit for this. He grew up watching Minions, he has this sound that somehow complements Minions, and I can get him to make a PG song about Minions for this trailer.’”
He went on to explain that he realized the end product would be a smash the instant he heard it: “I was so curious what he was going to say,” Bennett said. “But as soon as I heard, ‘I count money,’ I was like, ‘Oh, this is outta here. This is crazy.’”
