A rising star in the hip-hop scene, blending melodic flows with experimental production, known for his energetic live performances and genre-bending style.
Yeat, born Noah Olivier Smith, is a trailblazing American rapper, singer-songwriter, and record producer known for his bold, experimental sound and daring fashion sense. With a style that blends high-end designer brands with balaclavas, Yeat has become a standout figure in the contemporary hip-hop scene.
Yeat was born on February 26, 2000, in Irvine, California, to a Romanian mother and an American father of British and Mexican descent. His paternal grandmother hails from Tijuana, Mexico, while his grandfather is British-American. Growing up in Fullerton, California, and later moving to Portland, Oregon, Yeat's diverse cultural heritage has undoubtedly influenced his eclectic artistic approach.
Yeat's music career began in 2015, initially releasing music under the moniker Lil Yeat. However, these early releases have since been removed from the internet. On June 30, 2018, Yeat made his public debut under his current name, premiering a track that marked the beginning of his rapid ascent to fame.
In mid-2021, Yeat released his mixtape 4L, followed by his debut studio album Up 2 Me, featuring the popular tracks "Money So Big" and "Get Busy". The latter gained significant traction on TikTok, propelling Yeat into the spotlight. His subsequent releases, including the studio album 2 Alive and EP Lyfe, debuted in the top ten on the Billboard 200 in 2022.
In 2023, Yeat released his third studio album, Afterlyfe, which debuted at number four on the Billboard 200. The same year, he featured on Drake's song "IDGAF", which reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Global 200.
Yeat has spoken about his alleged encounter with extraterrestrial life at the age of eleven, claiming that the aliens he met were tall and hominid in form. This experience, he believes, has influenced his creative output and worldview.
Yeat's experimental approach to hip-hop has inspired a new generation of artists and fans alike. His unconventional fashion sense has also had an impact, blurring the lines between high-end fashion and streetwear.
"I'm not trying to make hits, I'm trying to make history."
Yeat's music has been featured in various popular media, including video games and television shows. His unique sound and style have also inspired a devoted following, with fans often emulating his fashion sense and artistic approach.
