Widely considered to be one of rage-rap popularizers; hes known for his experimental sound, unique choice of words, and unconventional fashion sense featuring a mix of designer brands and balaclavas,


He began rapping in 2017 as Lil Yeat, and, after a slew of singles, released his first EP, Deep Blue Strips, in late 2018. In 2019, Yeat would gain further publicity after “Stay Up,” the lead single off his second project and first mixtape, Wake Up Call, received a music video on the popular YouTube channel ELEVATOR.

Smith released Different Creature, a collaborative EP with Dutch producer Clibbo, on July 18, 2019, to positive feedback. Yeat garnered further attention after dropping his second mixtape, I’m So Me, at the conclusion of the year, collaborating with popular producers like Wheezy, Brandon Finessin, and 10Fifty, among others. Yeat continued to gain traction throughout 2020, releasing two EPs meant to hold fans over until Different Creature 2. The project was scrapped as he worked through label issues before becoming independent in 2021.

Fully in control of his output, Yeat began releasing a barrage of music, including his twenty-track mixtapes and countless singles. Yeat saw a major jump in support after his song “Sorry Bout That” blew up on TikTok. Subsequent hits like “Money Twerk” and “Gët Busy” as well as a shout-out from Drake helped reinforce his newfound success. This all allowed Yeat to amase a cult-like fanbase in the underground and soon after he quickly rose to become one of the most popular artist in the scene. Shortly after on August 5, 2021, Yeat released his 5th EP, Trëndi, which contain hits such as “Mad bout that” and “fukit”, both of which saw additional success on TikTok.

In late 2021, Yeat would eventually release his debut album Up 2 Më. Thanks to hits such "Monëy So Big" and "Turban" as well as "Gët Busy" the album became a massive success and would eventually cause Yeat to sign a deal with Interscope Records for one million dollars, resulting in this album being Yeat's final independent release. Going into 2022, Yeat dropped his sophomore album "2 Alivë" which marked his first released as a non-independent artist and included tracks such as "Poppin", "Rackz got më (feat. Gunna)", and "On tha linë", all of which became massive hits and saw huge amounts of success on TikTok. Its deluxe, 2 Alivë (Geëk Pack), would eventually drop just 1 month later.

On September 9th, 2022, Yeat dropped his highly anticipated EP, Lyfë, which had a feature from Lil Uzi Vert and collaborations with producers such as BNYX and collective Working On Dying. This EP would go on to become one of Yeat's most success releases, thanks to tracks such as "Flawlëss (feat. Lil Uzi Vert)", "Out Thë Way" and "Talk" becoming some of Yeat's most popular songs to date.

On February 19th, 2023, Yeat posted a tracklist for Lyfë's deluxe version AftërLyfe on his Instagram story. On February 24th, 2023, AftërLyfe was released with a feature from YoungBoy Never Broke Again and more collaborations with BNYX, Working On Dying, dulio and more prominent producers.

On February 16th, 2024, Yeat released 2093 which helped boost his music further. Tracks such as “Breathe", “Psycho CEO", and “If We Being Rëal became popular through various edits on TikTok. The album proved to be very popular, as it had a futuristic vibe and was not like some of the prior projects that Yeat had released before.
