AftërLyfe

About

Yeat’s 2023 album, <i>AftërLyfe</i>, is a look at what’s next, an ode to the mysteries of the life beyond—where one goes after the engineer cuts the mic and the beat stop. The Portland-raised, L.A.-based MC made several unexpected choices for his 2023 LP, choosing to veer away from the sounds and styles fans came to expect on previous releases like 2022’s <i>Lyfë</i> and <i>2 Alivë (Geëk Pack)</i>, and 2021’s <i>Up 2 Më</i>. Instead of a bevy of guest feature, Yeat keeps things intimate, picking a few close friends to hop on track, like YoungBoy Never Broke Again on “Shmunk” and LUH GEEKY (who happens to be a Yeat alter-ego) on “Now.” Beatwise, Yeat moves away from the trap-heavy stylings he favored on earlier release, interpolating several new genres into his array of sound, including electronic and rock. On “Nun id change,” Yeat goes full house mode, recruiting BNYX from Working on Dying for a dance floor thriller that recalls some other forays into hip-house like Vince Staples’ <i>Big Fish Theory</i> and several songs from Drake’s <i>Her Loss</i>. Elsewhere, on “Mysëlf,” Yeat introduces acoustic guitar to show off his pop-punk side. .
