Lyfestyle is the fifth studio album by the American rapper Yeat, released through Lyfestyle Corporation, Field Trip Recordings and Capitol Records, on October 18, 2024. The album features guest appearances from Don Toliver, Kodak Black, Lil Durk, and Summrs. The album serves as a follow-up to his previous studio album, 2093 (2024). [2]
Upon the release of the album, Yeat appeared in an interview with The Fader , during which he revealed he had 4,800 beats shortlisted for the album. Yeat's manager, Zack Bia stated that Yeat would wake up at "7 in the morning my time, 4 in the morning on the West Coast" to FaceTime him and record tracks on his bedside. [3] Yeat admitted that "this time it [took] longer than it normally ever has" to decide upon the album's final tracklist and that the album is "a little bit more curated" than his previous bodies of work. [3] In the interview, Yeat expressed that "Lyfestyle [is] basically just my normal rap shit", and that "it’s not futuristic, it’s not like a whole different world" while noting that it's more "polished" than his previous records. Bia added that "Noah's [Yeat’s] music-making process is so insulated because he makes music only by himself" and that "there's no outside noise when he's actually making music. Even when I'm with him, he'll be like, ‘Okay, I'm gonna go make music now, you guys can leave". [3]
During the interview, the album's executive producer Synthetic revealed that Yeat asked him to produce the entirety of the album: [3]
When it comes to creating something new with an artist and you're really trying to push to that next level, it's complicated, because you don't want to push too hard. [...] 2093 was very experimental, right? [And] the feedback on that was very mixed. When we were trying to craft this album, we wanted to make sure that we were delivering what the fans wanted but also creating something that the fans hadn't heard yet but felt familiar.
Following the release of 2093 in February of the same year, Yeat would begin to tease "a year['s] worth of music". [4] On September 17, 2024, Yeat's label, Lyfestyle Corporation shared a video of "Lyfestyle" being spray painted in graffiti style on a Lamborghini Huracán, parked on Rodeo Drive. Two days later, on September 19, he released the SoundCloud-exclusive single "TURNMEUP", the song's cover art being the spray-painted Lamborghini Huracán. [5] On October 9, Yeat released the official trailer for Lyfestyle. [6] On October 14, Yeat shared the album's cover art, soon followed by the release of the album's official tracklist on October 17.

Lyfestyle received generally favorable reviews from music critics. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 60, based on four reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews". [8] Writing for Clash , Robin Murray wrote that "Yeat manages to conjure a form of explicit subtlety", however, "there’s so much to absorb" and at times, the album can become "overwhelming". Concluding his review, Murray wrote that "continuing his game of tension and release, revelation and disguise, Lyfestyle reinforces Yeat's singular status". [9] Rolling Stone 's Mosi Reeves wrote that the album "details distorted in a cacophony of electronic noise" and that "it’s an album that invites fast-forwarding to one’s favorite cuts, not deep and focused listening". [10] Paul Attard for Slant stated that the album "is Yeat’s giddiest release to date" and that "each song ably [builds] off the momentum of the one before it", allowing the album to "feels like one constantly mutating track". Attard noted that the album "might be too cohesive, despite periodic genre switch-ups", before concluding that "the quality and sleekness of Lyfestyle should mark the definitive end of any doubts about Yeat’s musicianship". [11]
In the United States, Lyfestyle debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, earning 89,000 album-equivalent units (including 60,000 in pure sales) in its first week. [13] [14] Thus causing Lyfestyle to become Yeat's first number one album on the chart, alongside his fifth consecutive top ten. The album accumulated a total of 39.67 million on-demand streams of its songs. [13] In its second week, Lyfestyle set the record as the seventh largest drop from number one in Billboard 200 history, as the album descended 69 spots to number 70 in its second week. [15]
Contributing factors for Lyfestyle’s pure album sales count to relatively high could be because Lyfestyle is Yeat’s first album to be released on CD, [14] as well as on his official website different box sets that include merchandise such as T-shirts, balaclavas, and hoodies were released. [16] Signed Insert CD’s of Lyfestyle were also selling on Discogs when the album was first released, retailing for 11.44$ (USD). [17]
