After releasing a series of genre-defying mixtapes in 2016, Lil Yachty became one of the internet’s most talked-about rappers. While his early work featured bubblegum trap beats and gauzy synths, Yachty’s sound quickly evolved into something avante-garde. Lil Yachty first broke out in 2016 with the viral hit "One Night,” along with his debut mixtape, Lil Boat, which scored him a joint recording contract with Capitol Records, Motown and Quality Control Music. That same year, Yachty’s featured performances on DRAM’s smash hit “Broccoli” and KYLE's "iSpy” became part of internet lore — as well as Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hits. After his first headlining tour showcased his eccentric performance style, Yachty spent the next few years appearing at festivals around the world, while releasing hit collaborations with Cardi B, Future, Drake and many more. In January 2023, Yachty released his fifth studio album Let’s Start Here, a psych-rock pivot that’s been nearly universally praised. In April 2023, he appeared as a musical guest on Saturday Night Live, performing “the BLACK seminole.” and “drive ME crazy!” from the album which debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200.
