Background

Work on All Is Yellow began at least five years before its release.[ citation needed ] Five singles were released prior to the album, the first being "Doomsday" in June 2023. That September, the second single, "Guitar in My Room", was released. The third, being "Hello There", was released in October. The fourth, "Stop Giving Me Advice", [12] [13] [14] was the second single from the album to chart in the United Kingdom; however, it failed to chart in the United States. It was released on December 8. On January 12, 2024, Bennett released the final pre-album single, titled "Fallout". [15] Bennett directed videos for all five singles, which were subsequently released on the Lyrical Lemonade YouTube channel. [6] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] On the day of the album's release, the track "Say Ya Grace" received a video. [21] Cole Bennett released the music videos for all of the other songs in the following months, including "Doomsday Pt. 2".

The album features numerous guest performances, with vocals being provided by JID, Sheck Wes, Ski Mask the Slump God, Lil Durk, Kid Cudi, Chief Keef, Lil Yachty, Lil Tecca, The Kid Laroi, Lil Skies, Teezo Touchdown, Juicy J, Cochise, Denzel Curry, Lil B, Latto, Swae Lee, Aminé, Snot, the late 6 Dogs, the late Juice Wrld, Cordae, Eminem, [22] Gus Dapperton, Joey Badass, G Herbo, BabyTron, Lil Tracy, Corbin, Black Kray, Umi, SahBabii, Dave, and Jack Harlow. [23] [24]

Additionally, Big Sean recorded a verse for the album on an unreleased track alongside Curry; however, it did not end up making the final tracklist, with Bennett indicating alternate plans for it to be released on another album in the future. [25] In July 2024, a reworked version of the song by Eminem featuring Sean and BabyTron was released under the name "Tobey". It is the second single off the former’s twelfth studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) .

SourceRating
HipHopDX 2.6/5 [1]
Pitchfork 5.1/10 [26]

All Is Yellow received mixed reviews from music critics. Writing for HipHopDX , Will Schube felt that Bennett, rather than using the album as an opportunity to "put impressive artists into interesting scenarios and seeing what they do", filled the album with "clichés of pastiche styles", writing: "There are plenty of good moments on the project, but these high points only reveal how much more interesting All Is Yellow could have been." [1] Dani Blum of Pitchfork called it an "inevitable, overstuffed album with a lot of big-name features and little curatorial vision." [26]
