2023–present: Let's Start Here, Bad Cameo

In December 2022, Yachty's fifth studio album, then rumored to be called Sonic Ranch, was leaked online. The album was a departure from Yachty's signature trap sound, and was instead heavily influenced by psychedelic rock. On January 27, 2023, the album, entitled Let's Start Here , was released to positive reviews. [53] Yachty's label and collective Concrete Boys, which includes Karrahbooo, DC2Trill, and Draft Day, released their debut single, "Mo Jams", in December 2023. [54] Bad Cameo , a collaborative album with English producer James Blake, was released on June 28, 2024. [55]

Musical style

Lil Yachty has called his style "bubblegum trap." [14] [1] His songs have sampled sounds from Mario Bros., Charlie Brown, the theme from Rugrats , the startup sound of a GameCube console, as well as J-pop singer Daoko. [14] Other themes in his works include clouds, cotton candy, the Super Nintendo, and scenes from Pixar films. His friend TheGoodPerry is heavily involved in the production of his songs. [1] Yachty's style has also been described as mumble rap. [2]

Rolling Stone described his music as "catchy, intentionally dinky-sounding tunes packed with off-color boasts delivered in a proudly amateurish singsong." [14] The Guardian called his music "fun, hook-first pop rap oblivious to songcraft and structure that doesn't take itself too seriously, with very little interest in legacy and even less in rap canon." [1]

Personal life

Yachty expressed support for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 presidential election, and praised Sanders for his work during the civil rights movement. [56]

On October 20, 2021, Yachty announced the birth of his first child, a girl. The identity of the child's mother was not disclosed. [57]

On December 20, 2018, Yachty signed with FaZe Clan. [58] Yachty participated in competitive Fortnite tournaments.

2022 SafeMoon lawsuit

On February 18, 2022, in a class-action lawsuit filed against the cryptocurrency company SafeMoon that alleged the company is a pump-and-dump scheme, McCollum was named as a defendant along with professional boxer Jake Paul, musician Nick Carter, rapper Soulja Boy, and social media personality Ben Phillips for promoting the SafeMoon token on their social media accounts with misleading information. [59] [60] On the same day, the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a lawsuit against Bitconnect that the Securities Act of 1933 extends to targeted solicitation using social media. [61]

2023 SEC lawsuit

In March 2023, Yachty was among eight celebrities charged by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, with violating investor protection laws by promoting cryptocurrencies without disclosing that he was a paid sponsor. The lawsuit was connected with crypto asset entrepreneur Justin Sun's Tronix (TRX) and BitTorrent (BBT) companies. He settled the charges for over $400,000 without admitting or denying the claims.
